Witchfire hits 500K sales, new melee update unleashes chaos

Polish studio The Astronauts just announced their roguelite shooter Witchfire crossed 500,000 copies sold after two years in early access, and they dropped a massive update called The Reckoning that adds four melee weapons like the Morgenstern and Katar, plus three guns. The triple-barrelled Tribunal shotgun lets players charge shots by sliding around, and charged kills trigger shock explosions that wreck nearby enemies.

The update brought a shooting range with an interactive bestiary where players can test loadouts against previously beaten foes before heading out. Steam Deck verification is live, and accessibility options got expanded with adjustable font sizes and a spider filter for people who hate creepy crawlies.

The game blends shooter mechanics with Souls' difficulty and RPG progression as players hunt the Witch of the Black Sea. Launch got pushed from late last year to sometime this year after delays stacked up, but the early access build is sitting at 20 percent off right during the sale window.
