- Project Warlock: Lost Chapters demo dropping Sept 23rd - 12 September 2025
It's not long now. Not long until you have a chance to witness roughly 1/27th of Project Warlock: Lost Chapters. A stand game that's been cooking in the background with the efforts of new Buckshot team members, while the development of Project Warlock II was happening full steam. The upcoming Project Warlock: Lost Chapters demo is a short preview of one of the brand new chapters of the game. This one playing to the tune of pirate synth tracks and sounds of thunderous grapeshots, and filled to the brim with the subtle smell of gunpowder laced grog, screeches of kamikaze parrots, and heavy hand held cannons firing at creatures dr Frankenstein would be fond of. Project Warlock: Lost Chapters is a stand alone Project Warlock adventure that evolved over time. It's featuring Warlock who journeys to conquer evils in three brand new, gloriously pixellated and comfortingly brutal chapters. Chapt…
- Fixing the Floor - 3 June 2025
Hey Warlocks! We're back with another fix. This time we're addressing a recently reported issue where players would occasionally fall through the world and plummet into an endless abyss. This should no longer be the case. Until next time!
- 60 000 reasons why - 28 May 2025
Hey Warlocks, Today, at 09:41 AM CET, Project Warlock Daily Deal sales crossed the threshhold of 60 000 units towards the final hours of the two weeks' sale event. One that launched simultaneously with Doom: The Dark Ages launch on Steam. And it smashed the concurrent players count in the game's history reaching 396 people playing simultaneously. And it launched a barrage of reviews with some honey sweet praise, as well as some tar flavoured critique. Well, a game's never done it seems. At least not Project Warlock that is. To exceed expectations in a game's seventh year is one thing. But to exceed them by a margin as wide as the gaping hole in a monkey demon after taking a triple-shot blunderbuss to the chest? Another thing entirely. But with a lot of power, comes a lot of responsibility. Such as responsibility to continue fixing some of the issues you brought to our attention in Proje…
- 1.1.0.20 Hotfix - 22 May 2025
Hey Warlocks! Following yesterday's update, we've identified and fixed an issue where player movement became inverted, causing players to move in the opposite direction of their input. This should no longer be the case, and movement should now respond correctly to your controls at all times. Enjoy, and see you in the next one!
- Achievement, final boss and elevator fixes + other stuff too - 21 May 2025
Hey Warlocks, Following up on last week's announcement, we're ready to roll out the newest update for Project Warlock! This update addresses some of the issues highlighted by the community, introduces gameplay improvements, and should allow you to enjoy the remaining week of Project Warlock's Best Deal Ever at 90% knowing that you can't fall through the elevator shaft anymore! Also - do share your feedback regarding the new Weapon Wheel - we're keen to know what you think. Without further ado, here are the patch notes: Unity Engine Upgrade Updated the Unity Engine version from 5.6 to 2018.1.9f2 This change improves overall performance and was essential to fix elevator physics and player interaction issues Gameplay Improvements Added Weapon Wheel as an alternate weapon of weapon switching for both the mouse + keyboard and controller setups Mouse Scroll Weapon Switching polished and impro…
- Warlock Projects - 14 May 2025
This year will mark Project Warlock's seventh birthday meaning it can now write, do simple chores and can legally get to play Minecraft, Rayman Legends and Sackboy: The Big Adventure, but sadly not Stardew Valley, Hogwarts Legacy and Stray. Not to mention, Project Warlock cannot in good conscience be allowed to play Wolfenstein 3D (PEGI 12), Hexen (PEGI 12) and let's not even start on the 1993 Doom (17+). Guess those three will have to wait. We're still due for a proper nostalgia trip further down the line, as December launch anniversary comes closer, but for now - a couple of important updates. 1. Project Warlock: 90% Off Biggest Discount Yet + Upcoming Patch Info Project Warlock will soon receive an update to some of the most annoying issues brought over by the community. Most of these are either being implemented, furiously playtested or in the process of finalising the change, but y…

- 1.0.7.14 Hotfix - 11 July 2024
Hey Warlocks! We're back with another fix of an issue that's been reported recently, where changing the game's difficulty mid-play resulted in the game crashing, and this could only be fixed by restarting the game. This should no longer be the case, and switching difficulties during a single gameplay session should pose no more problems. Enjoy, and see you in the next one!
- 1.0.7.12 Hotfix - 4 July 2024
Hey Warlocks! After a longer break, we’ve managed to identify and fix the elevator issue several players reported. The bug caused players to sometimes fall through the elevators, and it made some of the elevators miss their destination points. Those issues should be fixed with this patch. As it turned out, the elevator issues were related to incorrect physics-related calculations within the game engine, due to which the position of some elevators could have miscalculated the player's exact location. We’ve managed to resolve the issue and make sure elevator's movement is now applied correctly. We know it took a while, but we’re not stopping with the updates a (just as the elevators didn’t stop in some levels). See you in the next one!
- Project Warlock II: Reworked Chapter 1 Playtest is Now Live! - 15 April 2024
Hey Warlocks, As per last week's announcement, the Open Playtest of Project Warlock II: Reworked Chapter 1 is now live! It’s starting today and running all the way until next Monday. The aim of this playtest is for everyone who hasn’t yet had the chance to play Project Warlock II to dip their feet into Reworked Chapter 1, which reflects changes to the game from the last two years of Early Access. You will be able to try out the upcoming improvements and help us reshape Chapter 1 as we add the finishing touches to the update. Project Warlock II: Chapter 1 tells the story of Palmer, Warlock’s disciple, whose affinity for guns and a touch of magic fuels the fight against the ruthless demonic army. The reworked Chapter 1 is the fruit of player feedback in combination with paying homage to the original Project Warlock game, and is how we see Project Warlock II going forward with Chapters 2 a…
- Announcing Project Warlock: Lost Chapters - 30 September 2023
Warlocks, This year's December 6th will mark the 5th Anniversary of Project Warlock launching on Steam.

Buckshot Software & Retrovibe
- Difficulty remastered - 30 March 2023
Hey Warlocks! The Hard Coded Dilemma First of all, we'd like to address the comments after our last update featuring key bindings changes. We've decided to revert the changes addressing key bindings. We appreciate your honesty and quick feedback, however harsh it may be. Introducing Claymore was a bit more problematic than we would have expected, as with its inception one category had 3 weapons, while the players were able to assign only 2 weapons to a specific key as per Project Warlock’s code. To find a workaround we've decided to hard code specific key bindings and it seems that was not something anyone welcomed. At the same time we were working on the new difficulty level and the lives system. Over the course of the last few weeks we've tried to find solutions to the binding issue, but it turned out the best one was to revert to the pre-patch settings. So we did and moved Claymore t…
- Bound to be fixed - 3 March 2023
Hey Warlock fans! After the last patch we’re coming in hot with another round of fixes for Project Warlock. See them below: Fixed Additional Weapon Binding - The keys 1-0 are now hardcoded and cannot be changed - additional bindings in the controls menu are now unable to be bound to those keys. You are still able to add alternative key bindings to the weapons, for example “X” to the Axe, etc. Added additional binding for Claymore to the keybinding menu. You can now quick-select the Claymore whenever you need it! Fixed Ghouls and Spiders being invincible after barrel spawn Fixed Dynamite throw physics Thank you for reporting the issues and your feedback, we’re constantly trying to improve our now 4-year old game, while simultaneously working on the sequel. If you’d like to share your feedback, or report any issues with the game, please do so on the Steam forum, or our official Discord se…
