BALL x PIT’s free The Shadow Update is available now

Publisher Devolver Digital and Kenny Sun and Friends have released BALL x PIT’s free The Shadow Update. It features new characters, buildings, mechanics, and balls.

The Shadow Update includes the following:

• 11 game-changing new balls, including new mechanics such as bending time, freezing enemies in place, or teleporting unpredictably around them.
• Two new playable characters: the Tiptoer, a deadly ninja who stays undetected by enemies at close range, and the Tunneller, a miner whose balls don’t stop at the edge of the screen, but wrap around it and come back in from the other side.
• Four new Passives, including the chaotic Full Metal Rapier, which sees each ball scaling its damage based on how many baby balls and enemies are currently on the battlefield, or the Arrow of Fate, which makes you immune to incoming projectiles and fires back a burst of baby balls whenever you’re hit.
• A new building to construct in your base: the Guildhall. Build one of these, and you can re-roll previously chosen character upgrades.

BALL x PIT is available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and mobile platforms.
