Overview

  • Team Cherry released version 1.0.28497, now live on Steam and GOG, with Xbox and Switch updates incoming and PlayStation expected within 48 hours.
  • Early bosses Moorwing and Sister Splinter received slight difficulty reductions, Sandcarver damage was lowered, and select hitboxes were tuned for fairness.
  • Midgame expenses for Bellway paths and Bell Benches were trimmed, while rosary rewards from relics, psalm cylinders, and courier deliveries increased.
  • The patch fixes numerous progression issues and stability bugs, including soft-locks, inaccessible courier deliveries, enemies leaving arenas, and underwater invincibility on Swamp Squits.
  • Team Cherry says more fixes and a follow-up update are in development after pushing this patch out earlier than its stated mid‑week target.
