Hello, Explorers!

To kick off 2026, we’ve rolled out a new update to push the game’s overall polish to the next level. Along with a brand-new system, this patch focuses on improving gameplay flow and exploration experience.

Check out the highlights below!

🛠️ Update Details

  1. New System: Skill Fusion

This update introduces the Skill Fusion system that lets you combine Engraved Skills to create Fusion Skills with new properties.

  • You can select up to 5 Engraved Skills to fuse.

  • Results vary based on the order of skills. Even with the same skills, changing the arrangement counts as a different combination.

  • The Skill Fusion feature unlocks after obtaining the Combinator through a specific event.

  • If a fusion Formula does not exist, the fusion fails and Kannics are consumed.

Each Fusion Skill has a unique attack style and use, designed to expand your build options.

Hints for Formulas are naturally placed throughout exploration, so be sure to take a closer look at your surroundings.

  1. Jack’s Room BGM Improvements

We've improved the tone and arrangement of the BGM to better capture the atmosphere of Jack’s Room.

This track is also provided as free-to-use audio for platforms like YouTube and other social media channels.

Feel free to use it in gameplay videos, Shorts, reviews, and other content!

  1. Key Guide and Popup Text Improvements

We've refined key guides and tutorial pop-ups shown during gameplay.

We've also updated wording for clearer information and improved timing so guidance feels more natural in context.

  1. Journal Updates

We've added new exploration elements and story content to certain sections of the Journal.

We hope these new changes bring more variety to your builds and uncover new, fun discoveries during your adventures.

Fatal Claw is currently aiming for a full 1.0 release in 2026, and we’ll continue expanding content and improving overall quality.

We’ll also be sharing a development roadmap soon to give you a clearer view of what’s ahead.

Your Early Access feedback is an important reference as we plan future updates. Whether it’s something you loved or something you’d like to see improved, please feel free to share your thoughts anytime.

We hope you have an exciting year of exploration with Fatal Claw in 2026.

Happy New Year, and thank you as always!
