Kenny Sun and Friends’ two-million-selling roguelite ball-breaker Ball x Pit is back with its biggest and most transformative expansion yet, Risen Ballbylon. The expansion is available to play right now on PC, consoles and mobile devices.
According to information Oyun Günlüğü obtained from Kenny Sun and Friends, the lift no longer descends into the depths of the pit but rises instead. Risen Ballbylon takes players high into the sky, where each new level reveals a layer of the former city whose population has been warped by the effects of the meteor. Alongside new characters, balls, passives, enemies, bosses and buildings, the expansion introduces fresh gameplay mechanics designed to challenge even the most hardened veterans of the pit.
4 new battlefields and over 40 enemies
The expansion features 4 new battlefields, each with its own new bosses, as well as more than 40 new enemies. It also adds 45 new passives, including Lucky Coin, Eldritch Gauntlet, Vampire’s Kiss, Volatile Explosive and Relentless Whip.
8 gameplay-transforming characters
Risen Ballbylon introduces 8 new characters that change how runs play out. Among them are the Sentinel, who can aim in any direction, The Stonewaller, whose balls warp to the other side the first time they hit a wall, and The Right Hand Man, whose balls deal double damage when they hit the right wall but only half when they hit the left.
24 new balls and new fusions
The expansion also adds 24 new balls for players to experiment with and combine into powerful fusions. These include the Beast ball, which latches onto enemies and damages them until they die, the earthquake-causing Kaiju ball, the enemy-cursing Misfortune ball and the deadly, spiky Hedgehog ball.
Base-building expands
Base-building has been radically expanded as well, with 20 new buildings including the Floating Fortress, Crystal Monolith, Soup Kitchen, Circus Tent and Fission Chamber. Players can also mine crystals while growing their base, a new resource that adds further complexity to the game’s economy.
Published by Devolver Digital, Ball x Pit: Risen Ballbylon is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iOS and Android for €6.99. The expansion’s content becomes accessible after completing the base game.
