| In-game event | Update #4 What is the butterfly effect? It’s a concept from chaos theory: in complex systems, even a tiny event can have unpredictable and huge consequences—somewhere else, at a different time. All of Pathologic 3 is about that effect: we plastered the whole game with butterflies and moths—visually and logically. And where did that lead us? To the notes for Update #4, where we list some of the logical er… | 22020801 | |
| In-game event | Hotfix #11 Hi, friends! We’re done with Hotfix #11. Most of these changes are about frustration: someone was giving out an unnecessary map marker, someone wasn’t showing up when you expected them, somewhere there was a fence that wasn’t supposed to be there. Now it’s all in the past: everyone shows up, nobody hands out extra stuff, the fences are accounted for, and the Cemetery is even more comfortable. W… | 21882962 | |
| In-game event | Hotfix #10 Hi, friends! Hotfix #10 is here. In this one, we fixed a few particularly noticeable oddities (like those soldiers in front of the Town Hall), made streamer mode a bit clearer, improved the Casebook UI — and patched up a number of quest and geometry issues. And yes… we fixed Georgiy’s mouth. He now has an excellent mouth. Patch Notes: · (Finally!) The soldiers in front of the Town Hall that eve… | 21815326 | |
| Game update | Hotfix #9 Hi, friends! Hotfix #9 is here. This time we tackled recipe distribution logic for the child traders, added clearer explanations for a few contentious story situations (that looked like bugs), introduced new tutorials — and, of course, shipped a batch of quest/technical fixes that affected progression. Patch Notes: · (Important!) Child traders will no longer give you recipes you already know. ·… |
Announcements are the developer’s own posts to the game’s Steam news feed: updates and their patch notes, in-game events, releases and sales. The important ones are marked on the players chart.

| In-game event | Update #3 Hi, friends! This is our third major patch. Crucial bits: a lot of fixes to the late-game rations quest and—finally—the ability to ENABLE LARGE DIALOGUE FONT . Also: we sorted out the Haruspex’s English voice, fixed a bunch of inconsistencies, mowed the grass, and made the curbs get properly wet. The Damned Rations We fixed a lot of things in this broken late-days quest. It should now be unbrok… | 21717032 |
| Game update | Hotfix #8 Hi, friends! Hotfix #8 is here! This time we tackled a few important things — from the Stamatins’ performance state on Day 11 and one of the endings, to making sure Eva appears where she was always supposed to. And, of course: Thoughts, markers, “Mind Palaces,” dialogues, and highlights. Patch Notes: · (Important!) Fixed logic issues with the Stamatins’ performance on Day 11 . Their state shoul… | 21683395 |
| In-game event | Update #2 Hi, friends! The second major patch (not a hotfix) is out. We’re continuing to bring quest logic, UI, visuals, and a whole bunch of “little things” back into shape — and in a game like this, little things suddenly turn out to be not so little. Key Highlights After numerous (three) requests, we’ve renamed Dankovsky’s interaction with plush bulls. He no longer kicks them — he presses them. Fixed… | 21621223 |
| In-game event | Hotfix #7 Hi, friends! Hotfix #7 is here. In this one, we removed a particularly annoying sound effect, fixed a couple of important story bottlenecks (including ones that could break endings), and we continue our methodical campaign against T-poses and unnatural merging. Patch Notes: · (Important!) Removed the constant fireworks noise that was fueling mania in real life. · (Important!) Taught the Rat Pro… | 21586680 |
| In-game event | Hotfix #6 Hi, friends! We have a tradition: after every release, we give out ice picks (real, physical ice picks, heavy and made of metal) to everyone who helped get the game out the door and doesn’t have one yet. Yesterday, our newest team members also gained the ability to commit political assassinations. And today, we’re back with another hotfix. · (Important!) Fixed Eva’s state on Days 11 and 12 . Sh… | 21573063 |
| In-game event | Pathologic 3 Update #1 Hi, friends! This is the game’s first update! Yep — not a hotfix, but a full-on patch. It includes everything we managed to polish up over the past week that didn’t make it into the hotfixes: critical progression blockers, quest and story logic, holes in UI and controls, plus a hefty batch of visual and technical fixes. Hotfixes are for things we can address quickly and that critically break pr… | 21527241 |
| Community | Our plans Hi, friends! It’s been a week since launch. Thank you for your support, your reviews, and all the bug reports. We haven’t had a weekend yet: over the past week we shipped 5 hotfixes, and today we’re planning our first major patch. After that, we’ll finally take a couple of days off—we didn’t really celebrate New Year’s because of work, so we want to do it a bit late. New hotfixes will resume on… | — |
| In-game event | Hotfix #5 Hi, friends! A new hotfix is here. This time we tweaked several important systems (and a couple of things that were a bit too noticeable — in the most literal sense), and also tackled bugs in quest logic, achievements, and the UI. Patch Notes: · (Incredibly important!) During interrogations, a note was glowing bright green. We wanted it to be a piece of paper the player can’t read — but we didn… | 21500439 |
| In-game event | Hotfix #4 Hi, friends! Hotfix #4 is here. This time we took a particularly close look at story logic and quest states — the places where things used to behave… like a quantum object in the hands of a careless observer. Patch Notes: · (Important!) Fixed the quantum uncertainty in Vlad the Younger’s fate — previously he seemed to remain in two states at once (oh, the irony) · (Important!) Fixed issues with… | 21483065 |
| In-game event | Hotfix #3 Hi, friends! Have you gotten used to daily hotfixes yet? Good — because we plan to keep this pace and tackle issues as quickly as we can. In this hotfix, we worked on story contradictions, an incorrect reset of hospital quests, and a couple of bugs that looked like they were added purely for absurdity (they weren’t). Patch Notes: · (Important!) Fixed hospital quest resets — they now restart wit… | — |
| In-game event | Hotfix #2 Hi, friends! Hotfix #2 is live. In this update, we’ve addressed several frequent (and frustrating) issues — including the traders at the Warehouses, a couple of moments in the Amalgam tutorial, and of course some story logic. Thanks for the reports: you’re really helping us find and fix what’s broken faster! This time, the changes mostly focus on story logic and small inconsistencies. Here they… | 21455625 |
| In-game event | Hotfix #1 Hi, friends! Thank you for the warm welcome — it means a lot to see your support, feedback, and discussions. Nothing quite compares to the feeling of watching you unravel the surprises, mysteries, ideas, and scenes we’ve been preparing for so long. We’re reading everything you share with great attention, and we’ll be back very soon with our near-term plans for further development and improvemen… | 21449330 |

| Community | Supporter Bundle: What’s Inside Hi friends, With exactly one day left until the release of Pathologic 3 , it’s the perfect time to talk about the best way to support us — the Supporter Bundle. This version of Pathologic 3 includes the soundtrack and a small in-game bonus (and yes, the game itself too!). Supporter Bundle = Pathologic 3 + the Supporter Pack (details below) + the soundtrack (will be available later). Important:… | — |
| Community | Pathologic 3 × Akira Yamaoka Trailer Hi, friends. Two days until launch — the perfect time for a small gift from us. And not only from us! Akira Yamaoka , composer of the Silent Hill soundtrack, wrote a track for Pathologic 3 about the Town-on-Gorkhon. It resonates deeply with one of the game’s saddest — or perhaps most hopeful? — stories. Does she have a chance to survive? Does she have a chance to die? You’ll find out very soon.… | — |
| Community | Pathologic 3: Release FAQ Hi, friends. We’re in the final stretch — Pathologic 3 launches on January 9.

January 9 17:00 CET / 11:00 ET / 08:00 PT. Will there be pre-orders or preloading? No — the game will only be available to purchase after release. Is it… | — |

| Community | From Thanatos to “Thanatica”: The Bachelor’s English Voice Actor Hi! This week has been packed with announcements and we’re not slowing down. It’s time to bring the lead performer to the forefront: the Bachelor. Finding the perfect English voice took time, but now it feels exactly right. We’re happy to share that it’s Christopher Saphire. You may have heard him in Hades as Thanatos. In Hades he played Thanatos, the god of death; in Pathologic 3 he plays deat… | — |
| Community | Third and Final Look at Pathologic 3: Time Travel Hi. The day before yesterday the Inspector talked about city politics and decrees. Yesterday Eva spoke about the Bachelor as a physician and his fight against the plague. In today’s trailer we’re talking about time and sanity. And the Bachelor himself will be the one to tell it. We’ve all wished we could go back: to say the right thing in an argument we fumbled, to avoid a mistake, to visit a p… | — |

| Community | New Trailer for Pathologic 3: The Plague Doctor Hi, Earlier we showed the first trailer – about the political struggle in the City and the city edicts that will help you contain the plague in the streets. We promised to show other angles on the game – and we’re delivering. Today’s trailer is dedicated to the Bachelor as a physician. It reveals the personal side of the story: diagnosis and questioning what patients tell you, the price of an o… | — |
| Community | Demo is available now. But there is more... Announcing the release date and launching the demo! Today we’re finally stepping onto the stage with the very news you’ve been waiting for. Release Date Pathologic 3 will launch on January 9, 2026 . That date is nailed down, screwed in, wrapped in commitments, and it isn’t moving. Pathologic 3 is a complex game. It blends many mechanics: sometimes non-obvious and not fitting neatly into a conve… | — |
