Update: The new DLC for Gunfire Reborn is out now on PC Steam, I can confirm. The new content introduces two new characters and four new weapons, and everything you need to know is outlined in the original news piece from back in late July, or on the Steam page linked above.

If you’re an early bird there’s a 10% discount, and currently the price is sitting at just under a fiver. And if you don’t have the base game already, it’s also on sale on Steam, and at the time of writing it’s 35% off. Not bad for a game that features prominently in my article about the best roguelite shooters!

July 30th: Gunfire Reborn, the excellent action-roguelite first-person shooter by Duoyi Games, is getting a new DLC pack later this year, and it’s called Realm of Frost and Inkwash.

The expansion is due to land at some point in Q3 of this year (that means between July and September) and it will bring two new playable characters to the game, and four new weapons.

The press release that landed in my inbox in the wee small hours of the morning doesn’t mention release platforms other than Steam, so for now we’re going to have to assume that there are currently no plans to bring the new content to consoles (I’ve requested clarification from the developer).

The new content features two new characters and four weapons, and I’ve included the details below along with relevant images! I’ll make sure to update this if/when I find out the release date!

Lyn (left): Blessed by the ice and snow, the enemy’s flaws are fully revealed. Lyn strikes the flaw to freeze the enemy and grants them a freezing burial.

Momo (right): Momo uses inkwash to block the threats and repel the targets. He can also transform into an inkwash-spirit and dart amongst the enemy.

Starfly (top-left): Harness the power of the Big Dipper and engage in battle with the spiritual partner! Shoot a barrage of bullets at the enemies.

Tracker: Supplemented by a multi-directional engine, the gun locks onto and pursues the enemies, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Phoenix Roar: Condense the Phoenix’s spiritual aura to expand the domain, then coordinate attacks with the hero’s skills.

Tempest (bottom-right): Activate the high-tech mask to tag all enemies within range, and inflict a stormy blow!
