Major Update v1.1: New Endgame Buildings, Set Items, and Expanded Talent Tree

Night Swarm · published 20 Jan 2026, 16:03 UTC · build 21561896

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone! We’re excited to share a major update that adds new long term progression options and more build variety to Night Swarm.

1) Two New Endgame Buildings: Ore Exchange Machine & Ore Eater

As more of you reached the endgame, we noticed a common issue: many players were starting to sit on excess endgame resources, and some currencies were gradually losing their meaning once the main progression milestones were completed. We wanted to make sure your late-game runs always feel rewarding and that your hard earned resources keep contributing to your long-term power.

That’s why we’ve added two new endgame buildings to give your extra currencies more value. By investing your endgame resources here, you’ll be able to purchase permanent stat upgrades to strengthen your character over time.

2) New Set Item System

We’ve also seen that players who push deeper especially in Endless Mode need more ways to scale and specialize their builds. Once you reach a certain point, survival and damage often come down to having more meaningful item choices and stronger build identities, not just “more of the same stats.”

To support deeper runs and more variety, we’ve introduced a brand new Set Item system! Collect and combine set pieces to unlock powerful bonuses and create more specialized builds. Our goal here is to give you exciting “chase” items and clearer build directions as you progress.

3) Expanded Talent Tree

Finally, we wanted to ensure that progression doesn’t feel “done” too quickly.

So we’ve expanded the Talent Tree with new talents and more options, giving you more ways to customize your playstyle and progression. This update is designed to keep long term growth meaningful, while letting you experiment with different builds more easily.


What’s Next

We’re already working on the next wave of content and improvements, planned for February:

  • New playable characters

  • New active relics and fused relics

  • Professional studio voice-overs (we’re replacing the current AI VO with professionally recorded lines)

As always, thank you for your support your feedback helps shape the game. 💛
