Hey Wanderers!

With the 1.0 Steam launch of Escape the Backrooms now sent down the Overgrowth slides and onto your screens, we wanted to share a glimpse of what’s coming next.

We’re pleased to give a first look at the roadmap of planned content and support for Escape the Backrooms, for the rest of 2025 and looking into 2026. Fancy, Secret Mode, and our development support crew at Blackbird Interactive are working together to deliver the above to players, with more specifics and deets being worked on right now.

This includes the release of Escape the Backrooms on Xbox and PlayStation, which is currently slated for early 2026. For all platforms, we’re also planning fun content drops to mix things up a little, along with more surprises. Good surprises, honest.

This is all we’re able to share right now, as we wanted to give an update to Wanderers just as 1.0 has dropped on Steam, but we’ll go into more detail in the future.

The next thing to look out for is the first patch for Version 1.0, addressing some more community-reported bugs and topics. This will roll out in November and we’ll share full patch notes with it.

Thank you!
