• Content Update Dev Log: Vol. 1 - 23 May 2025

  Early Summer Dev Log – May 23, 2025 Hey everyone, this is 7QUARK. Since the launch of Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade, we’ve been through quite the journey—ups and downs alike. But through it all, our team has been discussing and responding as quickly as we can. Today, we’re excited to share some of the major updates coming soon: Many players have expressed their love for Taketora, our fluffy samurai, and their heartbreak over how his story played out. We’ve heard you loud and clear. We’re adding a brand-new cutscene to his story arc—filling in the emotional gaps and bringing more closure to his tale. This update is set to roll out in about three days. Hang in there. This part of the journey is worth the wait. Don’t worry, Shigure’s got some love too. Old man Hantetsusai has been forging day and night, and he’s finally crafted three brand-new demon blades—each with unique special effe…

• Announcement of Operational Changes for Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade - 22 May 2025

  The publisher of Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade, GSE, has unilaterally withdrawn from its role as the publisher on the Steam platform as of May 21, without any prior notice, communication, or coordination. This unexpected move disregards the duties of a publisher and constitutes a serious breach of contract. 7QUARK will continue to maintain and support Yasha: LDB across all platforms, striving to improve the product. (Support and updates will continue for both the Steam and console versions.) As a result, starting May 22, 7QUARK will assume full operational responsibility for the Steam platform. Our first action will be to adjust the global pricing to match Steam’s recommended regional pricing. We will no longer apply separate regional price adjustments. The base price on Steam will be set at USD $13.99. Due to Steam’s restrictions on unofficial refund channels, players wishing to re…

Improved the charge speed effect of the legendary ramen "Clear Mirror, Still Water". Buffed some amulets with previously low stats. Adjusted Shigure’s weapon "Undying Cuckoo" to fix an issue where energy might not be properly gained. Adjusted Takeko’s weapon "Sunset" so the meteor effect no longer lingers too long, blocking enemy actions. Adjusted the explosion effect for 5 stacks of "Burn" to reduce screen-blocking duration. Corrected some text errors in the Inferno Scroll descriptions. Adjusted damage values of certain weapons with abnormal output. Bug Fixes…

• Update Notes For 1.0.3 - 19 May 2025

  Updates: Improved the sorting method of the "Backer List" to make names clearer and easier to read. Added fast-scrolling functionality to the "Credits" screen.

  We are aware of a bug in version 1.0.1 where the game may freeze if the player obtains more than 14 Amulets.

• [Announcement] Official Release Date Postponed to May 15 - 28 March 2025

  The release of Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade, originally scheduled for April 24, has been postponed to May 15. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize to all the players who have been eagerly waiting for the game. This delay is not due to development issues but rather because the demand for the limited edition on various platforms far exceeded our expectations. After careful discussions with our publisher GSE, we learned that manufacturers are working hard to increase production, and the 7QUARK team also needs to handle additional approval processes. To ensure that both the game and the limited edition items are delivered in their best possible state, we have decided to delay the release across all platforms. Additionally, there will be a slight adjustment to the Kickstarter reward fulfillment schedule: ■ March 28 (UTC+8) – Closed Beta begins ■ Mid to late April – Physical reward…
