Hi everyone!
After all these years, we're finally launching 1.0 tomorrow (May 1st) at around 20:00 CET // 11:00 PDT!
Here's a full recap of everything coming in tomorrow’s update:
A new Character
A brand new parry system
Level Progression for each character!
New Codex Entries for characters and enemies!
A new Final Boss!
Difficulty D8!
Fully localized in 11 languages
Full SteamDeck Support
And much more, including a True Ending quest
It's finally time to formally introduce Nera, the newest Dice Knight entering the dungeon!
Nera is a young Dice Knight with a lot of potential, trained under Cinder for years. She's shy and tries to avoid direct conflict whenever possible, a trait that can make life difficult for a knight...
One day, Cinder's sudden disappearance pushes her to leave her post and search for her master. All clues lead to the dungeon, so that's where she's headed.
Nera's starting relic, Broken Memento, introduces a new modifier that reflects her personality: Parry! This modifier fundamentally changes the way your block behaves, letting you not only absorb damage, but also reflect some of it back!
Nera starts with lower HP than other characters, so focusing on defense is key. If you play carefully, you can deal significant damage while coming out of fights unscathed.
We have a brand-new progression system! Now, every run matters, even if it ends in defeat. At the end of every adventure, your frogs will gain experience and unlock new, unique items that are permanently added to the loot pool.
But it's not just dice and relics, you'll also uncover new lore fragments that will help you understand a bit more about the story behind Die in the Dungeon. And if you manage to reach the final level with any character... well, let's just say you will be able to add a touch of gold to your future runs!
The world of Die in the Dungeon holds many secrets, and now you'll have a place to study them. We've updated the Codex with lots of new entries for each enemy, including their habitat, suspected place of origin and final notes from the Dungeon Explorers Volunteer Society (D.E.V.S, for short). To unlock these new pages, you'll have to defeat enemies in specific ways during your runs. Who knows, maybe there's more than meets the eye in these fragments of information?
For those who find the usual dungeon crawl too easy, we're finally introducing: D8 difficulty! This is the final difficulty level of the game and presents a steeper challenge than anything that came before: the Decadent Deck. This deck gets its name from the brand-new property found in your starting dice. The Decadent property is a double-edged sword, giving your dice an extra boost in the early battles while slowly degrading their power over time. Only those who can craft the perfect deck on the fly will be able to conquer this challenge!
Now, we have something for the most observant players: a new secret quest will be introduced in the game! Of course, we won't spoil anything for now, but completing it will require you to follow certain steps during your run.
If you manage to do it right, you'll be rewarded with a new type of relic and at the end... a new boss even stronger than the Mosquito Duke! Are you ready to uncover the true ending of your journey through the dungeon?
The 1.0 version launching is already officially Steam Deck Verified! We've worked hard to ensure the experience is seamless on the handheld, from controls to UI readability. You’ll be able to enjoy the best portable dice-rolling experience wherever you go!
For our console fans - we haven’t forgotten you! A console release is definitely in the works for later on, so keep an eye out for future announcements.
We have worked incredibly hard to make the game as accessible as possible, ensuring the story and mechanics can be enjoyed by players all over the world. Here is the full list of supported languages:
English
French
German
Spanish - Spain
Portuguese - Brazil
Russian
Turkish

We've decided to add new skins to the Supporter Pack! The price is not increasing even with this new content, the Supporter Pack remains the same. If you already own it, the new skins will be waiting for you in the 1.0 update!
