Hello Wielders, First of all: Thanks for the amazing reception to the launch of the Yulan DLC. The team is super happy about the response! Secondly: This is an update about our side-project - The incremental base building bullet heaven game called Wielders of the Essence!
The game will be released on November 5th, 2026. To make it official, we premiered a brand new trailer at the PC Gaming Show. Give it a watch, and let us know what you think!
Incidentally Steam Bullet Fest has now started, and we’ve used it to ship our largest demo update so far. If you haven't played the demo before (or in a while) this is a great time to try it. It's free, and it's live right now! What's new this time? Tons of things, but in order of the top of my mind: Enemies now spawn in a way that gives you more room to maneuver around them. Slightly less grind than the old demo. We've added more bosses, a new level, another Wielder, and a range of new enemies. And of course, there is also a talking egg that teaches you how to Wield the Essence!
We're closing in on 40k wishlists and we’ve been a bit swept away by the response so far! Every wishlist, every piece of feedback, every clip you've shared has pushed this game further than we imagined. Thank you. We're not taking a single one of you for granted.

Then come tell us what you think on Discord or in the Steam forums, we read all of it!
And remember, remember, the fifth of November.
