Ball x Pit: Risen Ballbylon is available now for $6.99, adding a post-game ascent above the pit to Kenny Sun and Friends’ roguelite. The expansion launches on PC, Xbox, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and mobile.
Publisher Devolver Digital also reports that the base game has sold two million copies. You’ll need to complete the base game before accessing the expansion, which introduces new stages, characters, balls and buildings.
Four Battlefields Take the Fight Above the Pit
Instead of descending, Risen Ballbylon sends the lift upward through layers of the former city. The meteor’s effects have transformed its inhabitants, creating another set of threats to fight.
The expansion includes four battlefields with new bosses, more than 40 enemies, and 45 passives. New passives include Lucky Coin, Eldritch Gauntlet, Vampire’s Kiss, Volatile Explosive, and Relentless Whip.
Eight Characters Change How Your Balls Behave
The eight additional characters introduce different rules for aiming and attacking.
The Sentinel can aim in any direction. The Stonewaller’s balls warp to the opposite side the first time they hit a wall.
The Right Hand Man rewards a more specific approach: balls deal double damage after hitting the right wall, but only half damage after hitting the left. That trade-off makes wall placement another consideration during a run.
Experiment With 24 Balls and 20 Buildings
Risen Ballbylon adds 24 balls for new fusions. The Beast ball attaches to enemies and damages them until they die, while the Kaiju ball causes earthquakes. Other additions include the enemy-cursing Misfortune ball and the spiked Hedgehog ball.
Base building expands with 20 structures, including the Floating Fortress, Crystal Monolith, Soup Kitchen, Circus Tent, and Fission Chamber.
You can also mine crystals, a new resource that adds another element to managing your village’s economy alongside the expanded construction options.
Ball x Pit: Risen Ballbylon is available now for $6.99. Its content becomes accessible after finishing the base game.
