Developer CampFire Studio and publisher Qooland Games announced that Soulmask (currently available through Steam Early Access) will be getting its first major cultural expansion, the free Golden Legend DLC, coming on June 5th.

Inspired by ancient Sanxingdui Chinese civilisation, the new DLC marks a turning point in Soulmask’s journey. What began in the primal chaos of rainforest survival pushes into uncharted territory, fusing ancient mythical symbolism with sandbox survival exploration systems.

This DLC introduces new masks, exploration zones, and a collection of ornate bronze furnishings that allow players to shape their interpretations of a long-lost ritual civilisation.

The free Golden Legend DLC introduces:

The Golden Mask – An ornate ritual artefact adorned with copper eye protrusions and engraved Kui dragon patterns, is granted unique powers:

• Divine Sight – Detect threats and terrain changes from a distance
• Heaven’s Watch – Analyse enemy stats, specialities, and potential
• Sunbird Blessing – Receive passive buffs that enhance movement and perception

The Sunken Altar – Deep in the ocean lies a lost branch of Eastern civilisation. A new submerged zone welcomes exploration, featuring shipwreck ruins, ritual relics, and ceremonial architecture wrapped in mythological symbolism.

The Golden Legend Set – A new line of Bronze Age–themed furniture, mask displays, and ornamental props that let players transform their homesteads into stylised ancestral sanctuaries.

Smarter Survival Through Automation

Coinciding with the DLC, Soulmask is rolling out core gameplay upgrades to the base game, focused on advancing automation in construction and logistics:

Building Planning Mode – Players can now record any custom-built structure plans. Tribesmen will automatically collect resources and rebuild them in other locations, dramatically improving the speed and efficiency of base expansion.

Automated Logistics System– Powered ziplines can be set up between homesteads and resource points, creating a flexible transport network for streamlined material delivery across the map.

These features allow for faster, more organised tribe management and base development, especially for players aiming to build on a larger scale.

Soulmask Early Access Regular Update 47

To provide a better gaming experience, the server will undergo maintenance. It will be temporarily unavailable starting from May 29, at 7:00 AM UTC, with an expected downtime 30 minutes. This update includes a client update, and chieftains will need to update their client to enjoy the game normally. We are very grateful for your understanding and support.

The update details are as follows:

Adjustments and Bug Fixes】

• Fixed an issue causing mount summoning to sometimes be unresponsive.
• Optimized hit frames for hammer charged strikes.
• Fixed an issue where setting the Durability Cost coefficient to zero still consumes tool durability for tribesmen during gathering.
• Fixed an issue where the repair bench would consume materials despite disabling resource auto-retrieval.

Looking Forward: 1.0, Egypt, and the Future of Civilisation

The Golden Legend DLC arrives as a special gift to mark Soulmask’s first anniversary in Early Access - a thank-you to players who have shaped the world through feedback, exploration, and creativity.

Soulmask will exit Early Access with its 1.0 release later this year, alongside a new Egypt-themed DLC. These milestones will continue to broaden the game’s cultural inspirations and deepen its automation systems, offering players new ways to build, govern, and survive across richly imagined ancient worlds.

Producer Zima has described his long-term vision for Soulmask as “the intelligent multi-civilisation survival sandbox,” where automation and cultural diversity form the foundation of a dynamic, player-driven experience.

As new civilisations emerge and automation deepens, Soulmask continues to redefine what a survival sandbox can be.

The game currently provides 8 different styles of weapons and 75 different supporting combat skills and special action modules, each of which strictly restores the experience of real physical characteristics. Tailor your fighting style to defeat your opponents: Smash a feline’s skull with a sledgehammer, or attack flying creatures with spears and arrows—even if you’re a fan of the Fist, find your unique style among boxing masters and assassins!

Roam in a vast world including rainforests, rivers, deserts, plateaus, wetlands, volcanoes, and snow mountains, and experience, survive, and challenge the unique climate and creatures in different regions. Explore ancient ruins and stunning temples scattered throughout the world that seem to have a mysterious connection with the masks, civilizations, and this world's secret past. With more than 300 hours of experience content, whether you are farming, raising pigs to become the richest tribe, or exploring the mysterious ruins of the world in search of the eternal realm, the choice is yours.

Engage in a life-and-death struggle, whether with long-established primitive tribal clans, marauding exile forces, or other players in an optional PvP mode. With the support of realistic physics, build your fortresses on cliffs, conquer opponents with primitive weapons, tools, and traps, and experience the true age of tribal warfare.

The game currently supports offline single player or online multiplayer of up to 70 players on official servers. You may also establish your own LAN host or private server while inviting others to join. On private, non-official servers, customize numerous parameters to tailor the gaming experience to your own preferences so that you and your friends may explore the rich world of Soulmask at your own pace.

Key Features:

• Masks: Mask gameplay is at the core of Soulmask. Masks give you the ability to control most of the NPCs in the game world - possess them, take over their bodies, and transform into anyone. As the game progresses, you can discover more masks that embody the spirit of ancient heroes to unlock many different abilities. Harness the gift of immortality, walk among your enemies concealed in the shadows, fire homing missiles with dead accuracy, and more.
• Dynamic Tribesmen and Tribal Management: In Soulmask, you can recruit up to 20 tribesmen to build your own tribe. Each tribesman is unique and has a distinct personality. You might recruit bloodthirsty warriors, dexterous hunters, ingenious craftsmen…or a drunk, lazy alcoholic. Soulmask offers powerful AI and command support, which allows you to set up and manage the workflow of clan members with a high degree of freedom: farming, harvesting, assembly line production, base patrol, automatic repair, and even maintenance. Everything can be automated and customized by you.
• Diverse Physics-based Combat System:Soulmask also offers a diverse physics-based combat system for players who love to fight. The game features 8 weapon types and 75 skills, allowing players to customize their own fighting style. For example, the spear in Soulmask has up to eight specialization skills that can be randomly learned, which can be used as a ranged weapon to pull enemies closer or as a melee weapon to pierce enemies hearts!

Soulmask is coming to PC (Steam) in 2025.
