SWORD FLINGER announced the release of an update on October 16, 2026, with a fix for an achievement that could remain locked after players read the final memory. For players who have already read it, the official notes say the achievement should unlock when they launch the updated game and reach the title screen.
The official patch notes also announce clearer item visibility in the Item Bag, improved descriptions for food rewards and items, and additional explanations of the throwing gauge and weapon rarity.
Memories achievement: reach the title screen after updating
The bug affected the achievement for collecting all memories: reading the final memory could leave the achievement locked despite that completed step. The announced correction therefore matters to players who had already read the final memory but had not received the achievement. Its effectiveness has not been independently tested.
If that describes your situation, launch the game after the update and reach the title screen. That is the point at which the official notes say the achievement will be awarded. The procedure specifically covers players who have already read the final memory; reaching the title screen does not replace that requirement.
Clearer rewards and a more readable Item Bag
The notes announce improved visibility for objects in the Item Bag, intended to make stored items easier to see. This is a change to their presentation. Its effectiveness has not been independently tested, so how much easier the items are to distinguish remains unverified.
Food reward and item descriptions have also been revised to explain their effects and storage destinations more clearly. Those details answer different practical questions: what a reward does, and where to find it after obtaining it. The descriptions provide information about the reward itself, while the Item Bag change concerns the visibility of objects stored there.
New tips explain the throwing gauge and weapon rarity
Additional tips and tutorial information cover the throwing gauge and weapon rarity. These additions provide guidance on those systems. Players looking for an explanation of the gauge or rarity have more information to consult, but the added guidance does not by itself establish a change to how either system works.
For players missing the memories achievement after reading the final memory, the official instruction is to launch the updated game and reach the title screen. The other announced changes focus on explaining rewards, showing stored items more clearly and providing guidance on the throwing gauge and weapon rarity.
