We’ve listened to your feedback and have been working hard to make Night Swarm even better and we’re still improving!
This update brings tons of exciting new content, biome-specific systems, and deeper combat variety.

• All Companions Reworked!
  Every companion now has their own unique skill, and the old skill slot system has been completely removed.

• Roderic’s Power Expanded
  He now wields 6 skill slots instead of 2, allowing for far more creative builds.

• Forest Biome – Poisonous zones can now appear, forcing players to adapt their routes.

• Ice Biome – Added cold & warmth mechanics, introducing survival-style gameplay.

• Desert Biome – Sandstorms now act as new environmental hazards, and you may even encounter deadly Sand Worms.

• Corrupted Vampire Duels
  1v1 battles are now more dynamic and challenging with improved mechanics and pacing.

🔥 This is our biggest demo update yet, setting the stage for the full release in December.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, jump in, test the new systems, and share your feedback!

We’re thrilled to announce that Night Swarm will officially launch on December 4!

This is just the beginning — the full release will bring new boss variants, deeper progression, and expanded Totem systems, all built on the foundation of your incredible feedback during Next Fest.

What an incredible week it’s been! We want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who played Night Swarm during Steam Next Fest.

Seeing so many of you dive into the chaos, experiment with builds, and share your experiences has been truly inspiring for our small team.

Next Fest wasn’t just a demo, it was a dialogue.

We’ve read your comments, watched your playthroughs, and taken your suggestions to heart.

Your feedback drives us to optimize, polish, and push Night Swarm further every single day.

Please keep sharing your thoughts — they truly shape the future of the game.

From the entire Night Swarm team — thank you for your passion, your time, and your support.

We’re building this world together, and your enthusiasm keeps the swarm alive.

Stay tuned, stay sharp, and we’ll see you on December 4.

During the week of October 27 to November 1, we worked intensively on the ability system, improved numerous animations, and laid the groundwork for the new horse AI, which will make behavior even more realistic in the future.

The "Information" section in the horse manager has been revised to present the details of each horse more clearly and in a more structured way.
In addition, the subcategories Genetics, Stats, and Victories have been added, allowing more information to be displayed and better organized.


The ability system has been completely redeveloped from scratch.
Our community especially appreciated that horses could previously be trained over time through repeated actions, we are keeping this core principle but significantly expanding upon it.

In the future, every horse, whether purebred, mixed, or hybrid, will be able to use every ability path. This will make training more flexible and personalized.

The new system works similarly to the previous one; however, instead of collecting experience points (EXP), you now earn ability points in specific areas when performing matching actions frequently enough.

Example:
To earn Bonding Points, you can regularly feed your horse its favorite treat or brush it.
If this action is repeated often enough, the horse will receive a Bonding Point.
These points can then be used to unlock new abilities, special movements, or other unique traits.

But what happens once you’ve unlocked everything?
Even then, it’s still worth continuing to train, because:
The more points your horse collects, the higher its overall value becomes. This way, training remains rewarding even after reaching the maximum.

Additionally, it will be possible to exchange points between paths, for example, converting Agility Points into Bonding Points if you’ve accumulated too many in one area but want to focus on another.



Our goal is to make the system flexible, motivating, and exciting in the long term, with clear progress mechanics, as well as meaningful balance and difficulty levels to ensure it doesn’t become too easy.

We have begun planning and developing the foundation for the new horse AI in detail.
In the future, we will use Unreal Engine 5’s “A.I. Behavior Tree System” instead of integrating the AI directly into the horse.

This tool allows for a more structured workflow, better multiplayer replication, and enables the horses’ behavior to dynamically adapt to different situations.

Our goal is for horses to actively respond to their environment, for example, to weather, the player, other horses, terrain, or bodies of water.
Furthermore, with the “A.I. Behavior Tree,” we can also integrate each horse’s individual personality, making their behavior feel even more natural and diverse.

Riding System
All basic riding movement animations have been completed, walk, trot, canter, and gallop are now fully implemented.

Dressage
The basic movements (walk, trot, canter) for the dressage mode are complete.
The first dressage lesson, the Passage, has been successfully implemented.
Work has begun on the leg-yield movements.


Show Jumping
Initial test animations for jumps have been created and are currently being evaluated.

Horse in the Stable
First test animations for the horse’s behavior in the stable have been produced.

Progress on implementing the new horse coat and related functionality in Unreal Engine.
(Currently still in an early testing phase.)

• The width of the show jumping obstacles in the game has been adjusted to provide a more realistic gameplay experience.
  
• A first draft of a stable for the campground map has been created.

All content is currently in WIP (Work in Progress) status and may still change before release!
As always, you can follow our progress live on our public roadmap:

Stay in touch, pilot. Over and out.

Hello everyone! It is time for the November 2025 Stable Update.

But first, some news. This last week we hosted our third official mod jam on our Discord server. The theme was "Anything Can Happen on Halloween!" and we had several spooky mod submissions. We thank everyone who participated and hope it was fun and a great practice! We encourage players to check out the mod jam submissions on the workshop here.

If you are interested in participating in the next mod jam, be sure to come to Discord and grab the "ModJam Ping" role to be notified.

Also, here is a collage of new mods released this past month. There were over 320 new mods this month! Have you tried any of these mods yet? Find any hidden gems? Be sure to regularly check the workshop for newly released mods, we're positive you'll always find something fun and interesting to try out. Click here to see the most popular new mods from this month.



We are grateful for the massive amount of community participation in developing and testing new features each month.

This month's release contains mostly bug fixes and smaller features. We've fixed several UI inconsistencies, fixed a major sound volume issue, and even fixed major issues with how liquids are drawn, especially around sloped tiles. We've also implemented changes to support launching the game on ARM processors, which should prove useful to those looking to host dedicated servers on ARM machines. For modders, this month's release contains a few new features, most notably new API for modifying potion delay values. Other new features include more fixes for biome conversion and support for uploading server-side mods in-game. The full listing of other features and changes is detailed below.

Modders: As usual, we'd like to encourage modders to test out new tModLoader features on the preview branch if they are relevant to your mod. Major features in preview are announced in the preview-update-log channel on our Discord. Some features in preview for next month include support custom pressure plates along with new hooks for tile interactions, as well as new hooks for custom armor set shadow effects and transforming the full player rendering. We encourage mod makers to experiment with these and other new features on the preview branch and provide feedback this month so that they are ready for the stable release next month.

If you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on GitHub or reach out to us at our Discord.

The following is a list of the most noteworthy changes made for this release. As a reminder, modders should consult the Update Migration Guide to see how to adapt to the new changes.
