If you've recently fired up The Pit, you'll have noticed a small update and a new Main Menu screen... [does best theatrical arm gesture]

...The Osmium Edition!

And immediately you ask, "The what edition?"

The Osmium Edition is our way of closing this chapter of The Pit series. A fancy name for a fancy Roguelike that we've enjoyed sharing with you these past four, nearly five, years (I know, right?)

It's not just a name though. We added;

- 9 new monsters
- 1 new weapon
- 1 new achievement
- 2 new items
- 1 new recipe

...and we fixed that annoying bug where the Time Hole moves the player, but does not actually display new level. Also, the Healer DLC is now available for Mac/Linux users!

If you have The Pit Gold, you'll get the new content. We renamed it The Osmium Edition a) so you'll know you get the new stuff and b) while we have left the DLCs on sale separately, eventually we're going to bundle it all together at a final, single, bundle price. On that day, The Osmium Edition will be everything we've released for The Pit.

As this chapter closes, we've begun new chapters in The Pit series, including The Pit Boardgame - all the dying of the digital original, no electricity required! If you want to know more, be sure to check out The Pit series website and newsletter.

Now. Go try the new content!

Sword of the Stars: The Pit - castewar
Three years after the initial release of the Sword of the Stars: The Pit, Kerberos Productions is celebrating with a sixth and final Pit DLC,
Medic!

In Medic, you will brave the perils of the Pit as Astryd Jemison - the 12th player character in the series - a SolForce Medic racing against time to save the people of Arbuda IV from a raging epidemic. Trained as both a medical doctor and an armed combatant, she has come to the Feldspar Mountains looking for the source of the deadly Xombie Plague.

Sword of the Stars: The Pit is a fun, fast, light-hearted action RPG, made in the tradition of Rogue and other old school dungeon-diving games. Set in the popular Sword of the Stars universe, it delivers a rich backdrop and modern gameplay.

“We are humbled and continually amazed by the fans of the series.” Martin Cirulis, Kerberos CEO and designer of The Pit. “As ever, we are happy to show that The Pit always has new challenges to offer players.”

“As our first Indie title, we are quite proud of The Pit and the place its earned in the Roguelike genre. We could not have done it without our fans and everyone that supported the game.” Said Kerberos COO Christopher Stewart. “The release of the Medic DLC on The Pit’s 3rd anniversary is the perfect place to wrap things up for this incarnation of the game and start looking to the future of the series.”

Besides the new playable character class, Medic includes new enemies, new items, new weapons and armor, as well as new recipes and achievements!

Sword of the Stars: The Pit - castewar


Yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year, even on Arbuda IV.

The Zuul captured some very incautious carolers, psionically devoured their yuletide cheer, and as a result even the inhabitants of the Pit have gotten into the spirit of the season. This has compelled the Zuul to leave wrapped presents under brightly decorated trees - the foolish slave-apes' holiday rituals were easily mastered by the Bloodweaver's favored children!

But something has stolen all the gifts they'd left - if you can find them, maybe you can score some sweet loot, including new Christmas-related recipes and achievements. But only for a limited time, so load up The Pit today!


Everything in the Pit still wants you dead. Happy Holidays!
