Overview

• Super Evil Megacorp will release the paid Metalhead character pack and a free title update on September 30 across all platforms, with a Deluxe physical edition the same day and a Collector’s Edition on October 24.
• Metalhead arrives as the first full‑range playable hero, using a laser gun, explosive landmines, and tactical tools, and the DLC adds five new artifacts to broaden build variety.
• The free update debuts Arcade Mode built around Hex and Flex combinations that apply run‑specific buffs and drawbacks, designed for quick solo or co‑op sessions.
• All players get three new biomes—Spectral Sewers, Astral Ship, and Manic Metropolis—plus a Wraith enemy set and Enemy Invasion variants that reshuffle encounters.
• The patch delivers 100‑plus visual, balance, bug‑fix, and quality‑of‑life updates, and it includes free Metalhead‑themed companion content such as a Robotics Turtle Power tree, Drone tools, the Pizza in Peril story, and a Positronic Motherboard artifact.
