To coincide with the launch, Wolcen Studio has released the fourth entry in its developer diary series. In the new devlog, Community Manager Meric Cakici explores the gritty world of Bullet Noir and details the improvements made since Early Access launch. Players previously experienced a narrative spanning four chapters, told through the eyes of four protagonists: the Cop, the Doctor, the Priest and the Lady. Version 1.0 introduces a brand-new Chapter 5, completing their intertwined stories with a total of 35 levels and newly added cinematics that reimagine earlier chapters.

Beyond the campaign, the full release expands the game’s arcade offerings, introducing an enhanced arcade mode and speedrun options for all four characters. Players can also look forward to a suite of technical upgrades, including full controller support, overhauled graphics and cinematics, a refined UI, and localisations in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, with fully customizable controls.

“We’re proud to have Bullet Noir serve as the very first title in our Indie Initiative,” said Bogdan Oprescu, President of Wolcen Studio. “This marks a new chapter for us, and we’re excited to continue championing independent creativity through this program!”
 
 
About Bullet Noir

Bullet Noir is the debut title under Wolcen Studio’s new “indie Initiative”, which nurtures in-house grassroots game projects into full releases. This gritty, fast-paced shooter invites players to uncover the backstories of four uniquely driven protagonists, each consumed by a personal vendetta. As the plot unfolds, players will navigate each character’s personal story, intertwined with the larger narrative. 

Bullet Noir’s one-hit-one-kill mechanic offers intense showdowns around every corner, whether you’re charging in guns blazing or opting for a stealthier approach. Navigate through a rain-slicked metropolis of alleys, hovels, and high-rises, and carve your own path through each protagonist’s overlapping quest for vengeance.

Bullet Noir is currently available to play on PC via Steam Early Access, during which it is also available for purchase at $11.99 / £9.99 / €11.79.
