Soundtrack Release
At long last, Songbringer's soundtrack has been released. The game's glitchy, somewhat-procedural bass music has been codified into the form of an album for the pleasure of your ear drums. This is a gapless album. One song flows into the next to create a seamless, coherent whole.

Songbringer gets tuned up with a new boss and difficulty
It’s always been a surprise to me that last year’s Songbringer didn’t catch on more, especially given John’s gushing review . Hot on the heels of the likes of Hyper Light Drifter, it presented a similar brand of deliciously pixelly hack n’ slashery, but paired to a remarkably rob

Songbringer now has a free DLC. Own Songbringer - The Trial of Ren to unlock a bunch of fresh stuff including the new boss, Ren. It also features new achievements, items, crafting combos, boss special attacks and even a new language (Simplified Chinese).
Ren, Brother of Kiel
Once a member of Roq's scout team, and brother to the infamous Kiel, Ren awaits you in the mysterious depths of Ekzera. But somehow he's different than he was before. This will be one of the toughest boss fights yet. Can you take him down and claim the new ability?
The Cursed Ring
Those hungry for a challenge will find satiety through Eiael's Snare, a cursed ring that significantly boosts your final score yet grants special attacks to every boss. It also increases the damage and health of all enemies. Claim this item for the ultimate confrontation.
Hyper Boots and Flamethrower
There's two new item crafting combos: The Hyper Boots and Flamethrower. Both of which are wicked sweet. The Hyper Boots make Roq run incredibly fast while leaving a trail of Lightning Mines. The Flamethrower spews out jets of fire.
What Else
Besides the 5 new achievements and the Simplified Chinese language, what else are you getting in this release versus the original 1.0.0 launch version? Remember the following stuff:

Charged Attack Update v1.1.0 - the Charged Attack, Nanosword Parry, The Shirt armor, The Ferret Drones

Sword Parry Ability
Also, this Parry Ability can be found. Charge up the sword, then keep holding the sword button as you collide with an enemy to parry and deflect all damage. Especially helpful when you do not know what kind of attack might be coming.
The Shirt
Additionally, The Shirt. This is armor which protects Roq. Players who need a helping hand (ahem, those who die a lot) will happen upon this vigilant preservative.
The Ferret Drones
Another new item: The Ferret Drones. These drones will help you locate all the missing items in the entire game so that you can get 100% without having to hack through your Log.txt.
The Other New Stuff
What about all that other fresh content mentioned in the last update post? The new boss? The new achievements? The Hyper Boots, Flamethrower and Battle Meditation? The cursed ring and the new boss special attacks? It's coming soon in a synchronous release on all platforms, including the PS4 and Xbox One versions. Stay tuned. If you want to play it now, you can switch to the beta version.
