Packmates Now Available - 1.0 Release Notes

We're very excited to finally bring the full release of Packmates to all of you. You have waited patiently. Your reward is more content, more danger, more loot, and significantly more reasons to blame your inventory layout.

More Packmates Expand the Pack

The full roster are now available to unlock and play:

🐺 Wolf — Master of Melee Combat: He enjoys sharp blades, close-range violence, and making personal space everyone else's problem.

🐰 Rabbit — Master of Ranged Weapons: A crack shot with a bow, and more than a little smug about it.

🦉 Owl — Master of Defense: Equal parts feather, heavy armor, and bad news for anything hoping to get through the front line.

🐱 Cat — Master of Summons: Uses her charm to convince half the forest to do the fighting for her.

🦝 Raccoon — Master of Magic: Always seems to have a new spell up his sleeve.

…and each Packmate comes with an additional Hero Class to unlock, for even more ways to play!

Act 3 & Endless Mode

Standard Adventure: Now includes an entirely new third act. Featuring new enemies, new areas, and a new boss with fresh mechanics (designed specifically to kill you).

Endless Adventure: As foretold by prophecy, wishlists, and people asking us about it repeatedly - Endless Adventure has finally arrived! Keep looping through the Acts as long as you can stay alive. Enemies are harder, faster, and more than ready to kill you. In exchange for the new risks, you'll be rewarded with Legendary Shards for unlocking powerful Legendary items. See how far your build can scale, and compete with your friends or the world on the Steam Leaderboards.

Item Infusing & Legendary Items

Keep running out of inventory space? Shove your trinkets inside your items with Infusion. Don’t worry about how it works. Just enjoy the freshly reclaimed inventory space, ready to fill with even more swords!

Use Infusion to merge items with Trinkets, transferring powerful adjacency effects onto the item.

Still hungry for power? Hunting for something obscene enough to break the game?

Take your Legendary Shards from Endless Adventure and unlock a Legendary item (or three). Each comes with a unique mechanic that opens up new build paths, new synergies, and new opportunities to look at your backpack and whisper, “This cannot possibly be intended.”

Pylons

Want even more loot and a bigger challenge?

Pylons have been improved, activating them now summons angry bosses to battle - INSIDE regular levels! The rewards are there for you to take - but you'll have to earn them.

Pets

Pet the cat. Pet the dog. Unlock the terrible and unstoppable power of friendship*. (*friendship with the cat may be one-sided)

Why does the Wolf have a pet dog? Or the Cat a pet cat? Don't ask too many questions… we’re just game developers, not philosophers.

Achievements & Progression

41 new achievements now lie locked, waiting for you to take on their challenge.

Each Packmate also comes with an expanded progression tree. Unlock their alternate class, Charms, and bonuses - that will buff not only you but your whole party in co-op!

In other words, your future victories can now be carefully planned, permanently upgraded, and shared with friends. (Assuming your friends pull their weight and aren’t being carried by you along with your backpack)

We're delighted to finally be able to share all this with you. Now go make a build that is clever, beautiful, or even deeply broken! And when you do, let us know your favorite builds and strategies!
