| Patch Notes 2026-09-05 New & Reworked · Bosses Pick Patterns That Fit the Situation — bosses respond differently depending on your distance, whether you're in the air, dashing, or standing still.

A swing that connects recovers faster, so the next hit comes sooner. · Blueberry Character Art Overhaul — full-body, motion, and expression artwork has been redrawn. The three-h… | — | |
| Patch Notes 2026-08-19 New & Reworked · Covenants of the Abyss — The Origin Abyss now runs to Depth 20. Every step further down lays one more named rule across your back, and a covenant once taken never lifts. You can read what you're agreeing to before you step through. · Combat Feel Rework — Hitting things feels different. Killing a foe now has its own moment, and the freeze on impact eases back instead of snapping… | — | |
| Patch Notes 2026-08-16 Improvements · Lumi's Maze — light now ripples toward where Lumi's call comes from, and your view radius is wider.

Bug Fixes · Fixed Patsyae facing the wrong way on the title screen. · Fixed translations in… | — | |
