Early Access Dark Fantasy FPS Witchfire's First Major Content Update, Ghost Galleon, Is Now Live

The first big update, Ghost Galleon, has hit Witchfire. Though the game isstill in Early Access, the update brings a plethora of new content for players to conquer.

While the game usually boasts procedural generation, the Witch Vaults have been made custom to the enemy forces and have different traps placed within its walls. These are not for the faint of heart, as they were curated to be inherently
