Continuing our coverage on soulslikes, the old-school RPG-inspired Pale Coins has just received its first major update titled Call of the Swamp.
Call of the Swamp most notably adds cooking, allowing players to prepare recipes over a kindled bonfire. Additionally, it also introduces local storage options in the old forest and the academy, as well as several new items for high-level characters. All changes can be found here.
The update is just the start for new content coming to the game in 2026. The below roadmap details that two more minor content updates are planned for Q2 and Q3, followed by a final major update to cap off the year. Its worth noting too that quality of life updates, general improvements, and bug fixes will be rolled out continuously.
Released last October, Pale Coins combines striking handcrafted pixel art with challenging gameplay and tough boss encounters, all inspired by the Soulslike genre. It has already earned a glowing response from players, with 93% of reviews being positive on Steam.
A free demo is currently available for the game on Steam, if you’re interested in checking it out.
