Patch Notes July 3, 2026

Patch 12 — Boss Control

The headline of this patch is Boss Control — a brand-new mini-game where you seize command of the arena, dictate which boss spawns, and cash out your dominance in a dedicated Boss Control Shop. On top of that, Boosters are back, we've added the Fatebound Journal T2, a new Drugo Costume, a Talent Reset, the Dragonkin Lamp, new Shortcut Keys, and a big pass of bug fixes — plus a look at what's coming next week with Pyramid Head.

01 Boss Control Mini-Game NEW

★ Headline Feature

Take Control of the Arena

Boss Control is a brand-new, contest-driven mini-game. Fight for dominance over the control zone, and the player (or team) who holds it gets to decide which boss spawns next. Rack up Boss Control Points for every second you stay in command, then spend them in the all-new Boss Control Shop.

Boss Control mini-game overview
1

Enter the Zone

Head to the Boss Control area and step into the contested control point to start earning.

2

Hold & Contest

Stay in control to bank points over time. Rival players can push you off — fight to keep it.

3

Pick the Boss

Whoever holds control decides which boss spawns next — steer the fight your way.

  • Earn Boss Control Points passively while you hold the zone.
  • The controlling player chooses the next boss to spawn.
  • Fully PvP-contested — control can change hands at any moment.
  • Points feed directly into the new Boss Control Shop.

Tip: Boss Control is most rewarding contested — grab a few friends, hold the zone as a team, and take turns picking the bosses you actually want to farm.

02 Boosters Are Back RETURNING

Boosters Return

By popular demand, Boosters are back. Stack your favourite modifiers — damage, drop rate and more — to push your farming and progression harder than ever.

They slot right into the current Modifiers category, so everything lives in one clean place alongside your existing boosts.

03 Boss Control Shop NEW

Spend Your Points

Every point you earn holding the control zone can be spent in the brand-new Boss Control Shop. Stocked with rewards you can't get anywhere else, it's the payoff for dominating the arena — the harder you hold, the more you can buy.

One of the standout stock items is the Boss Slayer Gem, giving you another reason to keep the zone under your banner.

04 Fatebound Journal T2 ADDED

Fatebound Journal T2

The Fatebound Journal T2 makes its debut this patch — another goal to chase for the players pushing the furthest.

05 Drugo Costume NEW

A brand-new cosmetic joins the wardrobe — the Drugo Costume. Suit up and show it off in the arena.

Damage effect scaling: the Drugo Costume's damage boost only applies up to Skeletal Drake. Once you unlock the next boss, the costume stops boosting your damage against previously-unlocked bosses — its effect is tied to your current progression, not the bosses you've already passed.

06 Talent Reset NEW

Respec On Demand

Made the wrong call on your talent tree? You can now fully reset your talents and re-allocate from scratch. Experiment freely, adapt to new content, and rebuild your loadout whenever the situation calls for it.

07 Donation Point Store NEW

Dragonkin Lamp

Added the Dragonkin Lamp to the Donation Point Store — a way to spend your donation points on a hefty XP boost.

Built for the players who despise skilling but still want to hit max — turn your points into levels and skip the grind you can't stand.

08 Quality of Life IMPROVED

Launcher Update — JDK 17

The launcher has been updated and will now automatically download JDK 17 for everyone. No manual Java setup, no version headaches — just run the launcher and it handles the runtime for you.

Previous Instance Re-Entry

No more re-configuring from scratch. You can now jump straight back into your previous instance with a single option — pick up right where you left off.

  • + Added noted items to the Crafting shop.

11 Coming Soon NEXT UP

⧗ On The Horizon

Next Update — Pyramid Head

The plan was to ship two mini-games today. During development, complications arose with Pyramid Head that we weren't willing to rush — so rather than push out both half-baked, we made the call to focus on Boss Control. That let us get much-needed Boosters back into the game in a genuinely fun, contested way — right now, not "eventually."

Pyramid Head lands next week, and it's bringing serious firepower with it: brand-new Best-in-Slot weaponry and more. It'll be worth the short wait.

🗡️ Brand-New BIS Weaponry 👹 Pyramid Head Mini-Game ➕ And More

Also On The Way

  • Diamond effect being reworked — moving to a consumable.
  • + Diamond consumable coming to the PC Store.
  • + 1 new Ring coming to the PC Store.
  • + 1 new Necklace coming to the PC Store.
Thanks for your patience: we'd rather deliver Pyramid Head done right than rushed. Boosters are back today, and the big BIS drop is only a week away.

That's Patch 12 — Boss Control takes centre stage, Boosters make their return, and there's a stack of fresh rewards and quality-of-life wins to dig into. Grab the zone, pick your boss, and let us know what you think in Discord — Pyramid Head is next.
