"Ball x Pit" Takes Chaos to the Next Level with Latest Update
The highly-acclaimed roguelite "Ball x Pit" has just received its first major free update, and it's packed with a plethora of new features that are sure to take the game to even greater heights. Developer Kenny Sun confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that endless mode was a top priority for fans who demanded it, and it doesn't disappoint.
Once you've defeated a level's boss, the game becomes an exercise in survival, as you're free to keep playing for as long as you can stay alive. This adds a whole new layer of strategy to the game, as you'll need to carefully craft your builds to maximize your chances of success.
But that's not all - two new playable hunters have been added to the mix. For fans looking for something new, The Falconer offers a unique twist on the game's ball-blasting mechanics, using a personal gravity field to pull shots off their usual paths and deal extra damage. Meanwhile, those who prefer a more traditional approach can opt for The Carouser, whose balls orbit around him to deal even more devastating blows.
The update also introduces eight new special balls with powerful abilities, including the Stone Ball, which may look powerful but disintegrates on impact, while the Fireworks Ball promises to add even more chaotic visual flair to the game. And for those looking to optimize their builds, a trio of passives has been added to help out.
But that's still not all - "Ball x Pit" is also now available in six new languages, including Spanish (Latin America), Polish, Italian, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian, making it more accessible to players around the world.
For fans who, like our reporter, are guilty of getting sucked back into the game with alarming regularity, the latest update is a welcome addition. With its endless mode, new characters, special balls, and passives, "Ball x Pit" remains an existential threat to our free time - in the best possible way.
