8-Bit Adventures 2 – Ver. ???

Release date: January 15th/16th 2025
Patch notes:

New Post-Game Dungeon with 50+ rooms to explore in any order and nine unique regions – including a Prison, Swamp, Desert, and Hotel!

8 Challenging Super Bosses with totally new mechanics – by far the most challenging enemies in the game!

Meet the Sandman – experience a rich bonus narrative which expands on the game’s lore and characters.

Find Dreamstones to upgrade your Ultimate Weapons and Armour, or EXP Bursts to boost towards max level – you’ll need both to survive!

Four New Music Tracks from returning composer Carfonu.

A New Town only hinted at in the main game, now fully restored.

4-5 Bonus Hours of Gameplay, completely free!

Fixed a minor collision bug in the Sky Forge.

Fixed a bug where the game could infinitely Game Over when entering a certain cutscene in Azureus.

Fixed the Clockwork Controller fight in the Arena, preventing softlocks from happening in the future.

Fixed a bug in the City of Sounds, where resting at the Inn after completing the dungeon would change the music to an incorrect song.

Fixed a bug which would allow players to accidentally take the Snowcraft to other regions, removing their ability to sprint or interact properly.

Fixed a bug where if you opened treasure chests underwater as the Robot character, the wrong sprite would appear.

Fixed a bug on console where landing your Airship in the desert, fighting a battle there, taking off in the Airship, and landing again would cause the game to crash.

Fixed a bug which prevented the Emergency Haste Augment from working as intended.

Additional notes: none
