Samson Gets Another Patch—Update #6—Revealed by Liquid Swords

Released last month by Liquid Swords, action-adventure title Samson continues to receive updates, and the developers announced a new, already sixth patch for the game, which contains several new features but is mostly focused on fixing bugs.

In a new Steam blog, Liquid Swords, as usual, released a list of innovations and changes for Samson; the main focus this time was on the combat system, but also other new features—for example, character health recovery by sitting on benches. More detailed information about Samson Update #6 you can check out below:

Hi all!

We want to thank you all for playing the game and for the continuous feedback and suggestions. We’re listening closely and working hard to deliver more updates - both new content and broader improvements to the overall experience.

Liquid Swords has yet to reveal when the next patch for Samson is releasing, though they confirmed the game will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S this September. Last week, it also received the first content update that added three difficulty modes (Crook, Hustler, and Enforcer), three more Jobs, and more.

Samson is now available on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
