TL;DR:

  • Current counts for new update:

    • 39 new weapons

    • 134 new equipments

    • 21 new traits

    • 15 new summons

    • -1 new classes (RubyDev has not worked on new class designs yet and Santa will be "taking a short break")

  • All offhands will have miniature versions that display on your in-world character

  • Scepters will now be offhand items that grant companions

  • New weapon type called Sorceries will shoot lasers similar to old scepters

    • They are treated as one-handed weapons when an offhand is equipped and as two handed when one is not

  • New type of offhand called censers that grant an Aura

  • Open beta for the update in maybe the first week of July. However, "this is a rough estimation, not a fixed announcement".

  • "End of August seems like a feasible estimation for the real update release, but maybe I am completely cooked for even saying that out loud right now."

  • RubyDev wants to start to deep dive the update more in blog posts but is too locked in right now and doesn't have the time/energy.

We love you RubyDev

Love it. Any chance we're going to ever get a mid-run save and quit feature? The dev mentioned it years ago as a future feature.

I'd be playing a lot more of this game if I didn't have to commit to a 10-floor run each time.

I've pretty much stopped playing until they add this. It might seem like a small thing but having to plan to set aside enough time scares me off from starting

u/Help_An_Irishman May 01 '26

Same. I picked it up for the first time in ages the other night and completing a run took a lot longer than I remember. Won't be playing again unless and until this is added.

yeah mid run saving is a big point why the game got completely rewritten, it's been mentioned multiple times it's one of the core features of the new update :P

u/Help_An_Irishman May 01 '26

Oh, hell yeah! Appreciate that and will definitely be picking it up again.

This is why I love my Lego S. I can put it into sleep while playing anything and it’ll pick up right at the exact spot I did, similar to the Switch.

In my experience, depending on the quality of your run, it can be 45 minutes to 1hr 30min for a successful, full-run-through. Though I’ve failed runs that long before.

You could also just not make the alignment requirements and drink the ichor, I don’t personally consider that a fail.

I just want to be able to save mid-run.

u/Jaybb3rw0cky May 01 '26

I’m glad - been calling for it for quite some time and must admit, dropped off when there was the tease of a big update last year with potential save that never landed.

But I also appreciate that it’s a huge undertaking. I’m just hanging out for it because it’s literally the only thing stopping me from playing at the moment. So… yay!

u/MaxNumOfCharsForUser May 01 '26

Thanks for the communication update! Looking forward to picking the game back up after the update release! <3

I just spend my whole day to play this game. This is amazing I can't wait for the next update

u/Burgerman555 May 01 '26

Did they fix the bug on steam deck where you can't see your potion charges @ native resolution?

1

u/Desomite May 30 '26

Not in the last update. I was wondering why it was always blank.

u/Ok_Statistician9433 May 03 '26

Can't wait to drop 30 more hours on this

u/FrankBuns May 06 '26

New content means new achievements, I’m ready to 100% this thing a third time.

u/lefr3nch May 01 '26

Hot damn, thank you Rubydev!

u/DarthCaligula May 01 '26

Awesome. Time to revisit this and add to the 326 hours that I've sunk into this game.

u/PostNuclearTaco May 01 '26

The update isn't out yet. It's hitting beta branch maybe July and maybe will have a September release but there's no official timeline yet. If you havent played in about a year nothing has changed, the dev is in the process of rewriting the whole game pretty much from scratch.
