PATCH NOTES FOR MAY 18, 2026.
USER INTERFACE & PROGRESSION
Post-Level Arsenal Upgrades Added
Due to popular demand, players can now upgrade weapons and other unlockables directly after finishing a level whenever they have enough currencies available.
This change allows players to continue progressing without constantly transitioning between multiple loading screens and menus, creating a smoother gameplay flow overall.
As part of this update, the Arsenal upgrade system backend has also been reworked to be more data-driven, allowing us to expand and iterate on upgrades more efficiently in future updates.
This is part of our ongoing effort to overhaul the UI experience, better fit Beyond Solar’s visual theme, and make progression feel faster and more seamless.
New Upgrade Flow Preview
VISUALS
Special Weapon Visual Improvements
Improved the appearance of Special Weapons to better match Beyond Solar’s current visual direction and art style.
GAMEPLAY
Level 7 & Level 8 Enemy Layout Improvements
Adjusted enemy layouts in Level 7 and Level 8 for better gameplay pacing and flow.
Previously, certain enemy formations could still remain active near the end of the level. These sections have now been refined for a smoother ending experience.
