Witchfire has been in development for nearly a decade at this point. But the "new" FPS from Painkiller creator Adrian Chmielarz has been gathering pace since its arrived on Steam in early access last year (following an initial launch on the Epic Store in 2023). The RPG-infused shooter has received two chunky content patches in the last seven months, and now developer The Astronauts has announced that its "biggest update yet" is brewing in the cauldron, and will be poured into players' mouths later in July.
This update is called Webgrave, which sounds like a cooler name for the Internet Archive. Webgrave adds a new region to the game called the blighted town, which The Astronauts is being cagey with details over, as well as several new weapons. These boomsticks include the oracle sniper rifle, which can shoot enemies through walls, and a lever-action rifle named nemesis. The Astronauts don't provide any specifics for this gun, but given Witchfire's FPS heritage, it probably does something weird.
