Hello everyone - we have deployed a new patch for those who have Steam keys to access Samsara for testing purposes. If you wish to play the latest update, you may need to restart Steam for it to pick up the patch.

We are happy to share that there are changes to address the feedback regarding the feel and pacing of combat, as well as to tackle some of the other user feedback we received during the Steam Next Fest in June.

July 2025 - Avatars Update

• Unleash unique ultimate powers for all six avatars, powerful abilities that empower you to survive in the deadly world of Kamadhatu.

• New boss at the end of Uttarakuru: battle Mara, "the tempter" and his aspects.

• New boss at the end of Act 2: face the judgement of Yama, "Lord of Death" in your quest to escape Samsara.

• Find a mischievous lost Tiryag in an optional questline found in Uttarakuru: End of an Age, who ponders the significance of the bell which tolls doom.

• Changes to Combat pacing, animations and feel.

• Additional bug fixes and improvements after player feedback.

Thank you for your continued feedback and bug reports. This update addresses several underlying issues, and we are hard at work on polishing content and fixing said issues. Our team is committed to improving your journey through the Bardo.

We believe in transparency, and we want to continue to engage with our players as and when bugs appear. We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve these bugs. Please continue to report any issues you encounter via the in-game link in the Pause menu.

See you in the Bardo,

☸️ Samsara Team

Hello, everyone;

We've made the difficult but necessary decision to delay the full launch of Samsara. This means we will not be releasing on Steam tomorrow, June 17th.

The feedback we received during Steam Next Fest was incredibly valuable. We saw a lot of interest in the game's core hook: the reincarnation system, where death leads you to one of six avatars based on the karma of your choices. However, you also told us that the impact of your actions on your karma wasn't clear, the initial learning experience was steep and confusing, and the onboarding process needed significant work.

Simply put, we agree. Our goal has always been to deliver a challenging but fair souls-like experience, and the current version doesn't properly introduce the very systems that make Samsara unique. Releasing a game that doesn't meet our own standards or your expectations, is not something we're willing to do.

For that reason, we are taking this time to go back and focus on key areas. We will be: overhauling the tutorial to better explain core mechanics such as karma, reincarnation and combat; refining and polishing key aspects such as movement, combat and story; as well as implementing quality-of-life fixes and balance tweaks to bring the game up to your exacting standards.

This will take time. As such, we don't have a new release date to share right now, as our sole focus is on getting it right.

We believe in the vision of Samsara and are committed to realising the game's potential. Thank you for your incredible support and feedback. We'll be keeping you updated on our progress.

Sincerely,

the team @ INFINITY27
