The 'Risen Ballbylon' expansion for BALL x PIT arrives on November 6, adding significant depth to the physics-based strategy game.

Buyers looking for fresh content can now access these features immediately upon release.
New crystals economy and 40 enemies arrive November 6
Devolver Digital and Kenny Sun developed this expansion to expand the core gameplay loop. The game is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Switch, PC via Steam, iOS, and Android. This broad availability ensures that players on any major platform can participate in the new content.
The expansion introduces four new battlefields, each featuring unique bosses and environmental challenges. Players will encounter over 40 new enemies and can utilize 45 new passive abilities. These passives include effects like Lucky Coin and Vampire’s Kiss, which alter combat dynamics.
Eight new characters join the roster, offering distinct tactical advantages such as directional aiming or wall-warping. The update also adds 24 new ball types, including the Beast ball that latches onto enemies and the quake-triggering Kaiju ball. Players can build 20 new structures, such as the Floating Fortress and Crystal Monolith, to expand their villages.
A new resource called crystals has been added to the game, requiring players to mine for it to fund their expansions. This addition increases the complexity of the game's economy and resource management. The expansion costs $6.99 and launches globally on November 6.
