Mall Rivals: The Comeback Update

Mall Rivals · published 25 Jun 2026, 17:14 UTC · build 23916402

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello Rivals!

After a successful run on Unstable, The Comeback Update is now live on the main build for everyone. A massive content drop and a heavy fix pass landing together.

⚠️ We strongly recommend starting a fresh save. Stores are now expandable and a lot has changed under the hood. Old saves are very likely to behave unexpectedly. ⚠️

👀 Before we dive in

Quick heads-up before the changelog: the mall exterior isn't fully built yet. We'll be wrapping the rest of the outside world in the coming updates. After that, the focus shifts to mid-game and late-game content: new store types, deeper progression and the systems that keep a run interesting hours in.

Now, here's what's actually in this update.

🎰 New: The Casino

The mall just got louder. A full casino space has opened its doors, and the first machine is live.

  • Slot Machine: Pull up to a physical cabinet, place your bet, and spin. House edge is real, so play smart.

🎲 New: Dynamic Events System

Random events now hit the mall mid-round: trending products, wholesale opportunities, supply shortages, security incidents and more. Each one shifts the economy in real time and is broadcast to every player via on-screen banners and the ShameTV.

💈 New: The Barber

You're not stuck with your starting look anymore. A barber/styling shop has been added to the mall.

  • Walk in, sit down, and change your outfit and look on the spot.

🏗️ New: Store Expansion

Outgrowing your space? Now you can do something about it.

  • Expand your store: buy adjacent floor area and grow your sales floor as your business scales.

📺 New: In-Store Monitors

The screen on the wall isn't just decoration anymore.

  • Open any monitor inside your store and play the video or music of your choice.

💡 Mall Interior: Redesigned & Lit

The inside of the mall has been completely reworked. New layouts, new materials, and proper lighting throughout. The whole space finally feels alive instead of flat.

🌆 New: The Mall Exterior

For the first time, there's a world outside the mall. The exterior area has been added and you can walk out and look around. Construction on the outside isn't fully wrapped yet, but the foundations are in. The rest is coming soon.

🧍 Characters Reworked: Everyone Got a Makeover

We've completely rebuilt the character models, players and NPCs alike.

  • All NPCs (customers, employees, mall cop, shady dealer) refreshed to match the new style.

🏦 Bank: Visual Refresh

The bank area has been redesigned from the ground up visually. Same functionality, completely new look and feel. It finally matches the rest of the mall's quality bar.

🔧 Fixes & Improvements

A massive bug-fix pass landed in this build. Too many individual items to list cleanly, but the major categories:

  • Multiplayer sync issues across several systems

  • Save/load edge cases tightened up

  • NPC pathing and stuck-state recovery

  • Store interior interaction reliability

  • UI/HUD glitches across the tablet and HUD

If you ran into something specific before that isn't mentioned here, please retest it and let us know on Discord.


Thanks for sticking with us through the break. Your bug reports and feedback are the reason this update is what it is.
