The first of smash hit roguelike Ball X Pit's three major free updates adds a falconer who fires balls out of her two pet birds

After the huge success of the game's launch, Ball X Pit developer Kenny Sun and Friends announced three big updates to come in 2026. Now the first of the trio has been dated—and we've had a glimpse at what it's set to include.

The Regal Update is due January 26, so it's not long to wait at all. It's adding two new characters, eight new balls, "several" more passives, and a "nice surprise we don't want to spoil just yet"—which all in all seems like a very robust set of features.
