The Definitive Edition of Rivals of Aether is loaded with content. New features, modes, and extras are all bundled up with our full cast of characters from the entire span of Rivals’ development. Instead of buying our original and guest character expansions separately, the game is now one complete package with everything included for $29.99.

Players who already own Rivals of Aether on Steam have been automatically upgraded to the Definitive Edition for free.




Twelve original characters plus indie guests Shovel Knight and Ori and Sein battle it out in this pixel perfect platform fighter. Harness the power of the elements and unravel the mysterious conflicts of the planet Aether in Story Mode, band with friends to take on shadowy creatures in Abyss Mode, and bring your combat skills online to challenge players across the world.



The Definitive Edition of Rivals of Aether includes updates to fan favorite modes like Abyss, along with a new game mode – Tetherball. It’s a sports battle mode that allows players to use their character skills to compete in a best-of-three beach tetherball game!


The Definitive Edition also features a massive upgrade to the online functionality in Rivals of Aether. The player count is going up from 2 to 4 players max which introduces 2v2 and Free-for-All to Online Play in Rivals of Aether. We are also introducing online support for Abyss Versus, Abyss Endless and Tetherball.


The Definitive Edition has a great new system called the Milestone System for unlocking cosmetics. We could explain how it works but no one can explain it better than Adam Carra.


Everyone who currently owns the game on Steam has been upgraded to the Definitive Edition for free. Everyone who has purchased a DLC character before the Definitive release will also unlock an exclusive Infamous Skin for that character.


Steam Workshop is graduating from beta branches to a part of the base game of Rivals of Aether. We are also introducing Workshop Skins in both the Basic and Advanced varieties. Basic Skins are just visual changes to characters while Advanced Skins feature gameplay changes along with visual changes. Steam Workshop support is not available for the Switch version of the game.

We hope you check out the Definitive Edition of Rivals of Aether, either as a first time player or a returning veteran trying out your free Definitive Upgrade. Thank you to all of our longtime fans and community for your support.

Sorry for the delay on this patch guys I was working hard to get us a better online experience with this patch. Updates will most likely go to a 2 week period but it depends on what is reported and the severity of the issues.


1. Added more recovery frames to Bigfoot's second hit from this P M P combo string.
This fixes an issue that was making this string not be able to complete at times. The extra recovery allow for more stun on the move.

2. All Unleashed Attacks damage have been increased to do 30% or more damage. This makes doing these moves more rewarding and doing big damage within combos.

3. Fixed some collision issues with Mary's Dress.

4. Fixed an issue causing characters health and position to reset mid game.

5. When using reset in training mode assist type characters will not reset (Chupacabra, Bird and etc.)

6. NEW FEATURE : Online play now uses steam to allow for a P2P connection within online matches. Bugs may be possible if your in a match room and your inputs are not working you may have to relaunch steam.

Side Note For 6: Stage loading can cause disconnects if it takes too long to load the stage, when this happens one player will be loaded waiting on the opponent to sync to the game this may appear that your game is frozen. If a disconnect happens in this way the opponent won't receive a disconnect. Best case if your system has trouble loading stages first play on each stage to cache these stages assets. Hopefully in time with more optimization this will be fixed.

7. In order to keep online matches flowing once you enter a room the match will automatically start in 10 secs.

8. Helsing's Standing Strong no longer causes a knockdown type animation it now staggers the opponent back this move is also an overhead attack.

9. Due to Unity removing the config tool in the latest version of Unity we now have graphics settings in the options menu. When first entering this screen your settings may change you will need to redo them in order to save a new config.

10. Fixed an issue making projectiles unable to be dodged.

11. Sasquatch's EX invisibility makes him projectile invincible he must be hit with a physical attack in order to cancel this state.

12. Neverman's Air strong now knocks the opponent down can no longer be used to restand the opponent from a juggle.

13. Fixed an issue on Mary's and Frankenstein's move list showing duplicated moves.

14. Fixed an issue with Mary performing her Blood Skull Death Sentence vs herself wasn't using the correct animation.

09/16 Update Patch v20200915.2236

◆ Critical bugfixes and improvements

Hey folks! Dom T. Reviewer here! And so is 1.0.4! (Great segue, huh?) No typos this time! It's all about the soundtrack, baby!

Don't get too scared! The soundtracks's just been remastered. I've been meaning to remaster the soundtrack just to up the bit rate. It was at 160 before, which is fine and all for cartoons or YouTube videos, but 320 is closer to the standard for music. (I just wasn't thinking.) I know some of the instruments I use don't sound the greatest, but I can definitely hear a difference, so it's worth it in my book. Hopefully your high-end gaming rigs can handle the awesome power of the extra twenty-something megabytes! Wooooo!

P.S. This remastering applies to both the game and the soundtrack folder for personal use. (Remember, you can 'Browse local files' if you want to grab it.)
