BALL x PIT – Ver. ??? (Regal Update)

Release date: January 26th/27th 2026
Patch notes:

NEW x CHARACTERS

You can now play as the Falconer, a new character who fires off two balls launched by a pair of birds flanking the screen, giving their attacks a wide, swooping spread. Or take on the role of the Carouser, a medieval royal troublemaker who can twist ball trajectories with a personal gravity field, pulling shots off their usual paths.

NEW x BALLS

A selection of eight powerful new balls includes Fireworks, which burst outward in bright, unpredictable patterns, scattering damage in every direction; the Stone Ball, which hits like a truck on impact but slowly crumbles as it keeps bouncing; and the Landslide, which triggers a cascading wave of debris in front of the first impact point and deals damage that lasts for a few seconds to surrounding enemies.

NEW x PASSIVES

Three new passives have been added to the game – Deadeye’s Impaler cranks up your critical hit chance, and when those crits hit, enemies that are not the boss do not get back up. Well, that’s because they instantly kill. Grotesque Artillery pulls from your own gear, firing off a random ball from your equipped lineup every time it triggers. Iron Onesie rewards chaos, boosting the damage of special balls based on how many baby balls are bouncing around the field.

NEW x MODE

You spoke, and we listened! The long-requested Endless Mode is now available! Each level can now be pushed as far as you can handle, continuing indefinitely as long as you manage to stay alive once finishing the boss in that area and agree to continue deeper into the pit.

HOW TO UNLOCK NEW CONTENT

The new content will unlock as you progress in the game. If you’ve already beaten it, everything should already be unlocked (except for blueprints, which you’ll need to find in levels).

NEW x LANGUAGES

Also, we’re happy to share that the Regal Update is introducing new languages, including: Spanish (Latin America), Polish, Italian, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
