Rift of the NecroDancer changes
It’s Rift of the NecroDancer’s first birthday today! Can you believe it? One year old!
For this extra special occasion, we have a ton of celebrations planned – not just for the day, but for the whole MONTH. We’ve got DISCOUNTS, we’ve got GIVEAWAYS, we’ve got FREE CONTENT DROPS, we’ve got a FAN ART CONTEST, and we turned Cadence into A MARKETABLE PLUSHIE!
Okay, but for real we have so many things planned, and only so much space to talk about it with, so let me get into it.
Anniversary Roadmap
Starting TODAY and every Thursday until February 26, log in to Rift of the NecroDancer each week for a new gift from our team to you. Today, we’ve released a brand new Rhythm Rift – Portabellohead by Danny Baranowsky from the Crypt of the NecroDancer soundtrack.
We’ve also got a breadth of sales each week, and giveaways in our newsletter, so if you’ve been dying to pick something up, or if you’ve been hoping to get lucky in our newsletter draw, now’s the time.

2025 Edition Launch
Finally, we're also launching the Rift of the NecroDancer 2025 Edition! The 2025 Edition of Rift of the NecroDancer is your comprehensive package of all content released from February 2025 - February 2026.
The 2025 Edition contains all 81 songs released last year, and features music from ten amazing collaborations with other games and musical icons.
If you read this whole thing, THANK YOU. We simultaneously can't believe it's already been a year. and ONLY been a year of playing Rift of the NecroDancer with you all. If you leave a comment with your favourite Rift memory so far, I’ll give you a Steam award (not a bribe).
Have a wonderful February!
