It’s been thrilling to see so many people playing and enjoying Hexarchy since launch. It’s been brilliant seeing a huge number of people connect with the game, and enjoying fast-paced 4X sessions either solo or in online multiplayer.
We’ve read everything you’ve sent us. And whilst the positives have been overwhelming, it’s those of you who have taken time to offer constructive feedback which we’ve really appreciated. The team has been working incredibly hard to respond to everything that’s been suggested – and we’re delighted to unveil our latest update which hopefully addresses some of the most common observations.
By far the biggest request has been to introduce the option to save a game during a single-player session. There were some technical challenges behind the scenes which had originally made this a pretty complicated feature – but we’re really pleased to say that from this update onwards, players will be able to return to a game mid-session. There are some caveats: the game only saves between turns, you can only have one save game activate at any time, and you will be unable to continue a Challenge or Hegemon game if the time to complete has passed. But hopefully this offers players a way to enjoy the single-player game with a little more freedom. One additional note of caution: we can’t guarantee saves will be compatible between versions, so you may need to roll back to complete a game in progress occasionally. We’ll do our best to keep that to a minimum.
As you would expect: online multiplayer is a little different – all players need to be on the same version, and you can’t save mid-session. We’re working hard to ensure you have a reason to return to the game over and over, and will confirm what’s next for Hexarchy shortly. But until then, please do read the full patch notes below – and happy hexing!

I'm happy to announce that Wanted Shadows is part of the Bullet Heaven Fest! This means it's getting featured with tons of other cool games for the genre.
But... There's another bonus!
In case you didn't know, we've also developed another Bullet Heaven Roguelike called Soul Stalker. If you already own Wanted Shadows, you can get the game at a further discount with the link below!
Anyways, that's it for this update, and I'll post soon regarding future patches! If you're enjoying the game, a review would also be greatly appreciated :)
Endgame Progression Bug: We've squashed a pesky bug that was stopping the game from proceeding after the final boss's defeat. Players can now continue their adventure smoothly without any hiccups following that climactic battle.
Enemy Health Exploit: Attention, heroes! We've reinforced the laws of survival for our enemies. Due to a fix implemented, villains will no longer be able to drop below 0 health points. This fix addresses the exploit where players could abuse the "Enemy Health -XX" feature to create negatively-valued enemy HP.
Shop Item Description: We've tidied up the shop shelves and corrected the descriptions of items available for purchase.
We're thrilled to share some exciting news ahead of Worldless' launch November 21st!

Listen, there’s only one Lightning McQueen. But thanks to the newest in Soccar simulation technology, you can have your very own precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics in Rocket League! Equip the Disney and Pixar’s Cars-inspired Lightning McQueen Car*, and you’ll be hoisting the Piston Cup in no time. The Lightning McQueen Mega Bundle also includes three race-ready Decals, the Ka-chow Goal Explosion, and more!
Speed to the kickoff—the Lightning McQueen Mega Bundle will be available starting November 7.
LIGHTNING MCQUEEN
Ahhhh, breathe in that new preset smell—this is the Lightning McQueen Car you’ve always wanted.
The Lightning McQueen Car is the very first in Rocket League to feature dynamic expressions! Lightning will look around the pitch while you cruise the Arena, then narrow his eyes in focus as you approach supersonic speeds.
With the Lightning McQueen Mega Bundle, you’ll be able to play as three different versions of the Route 66 icon. First up is the classic. With number 95 on the side and a flashy lightning bolt, you’ll be taking the winner’s podium with plenty of style to spare.
Life is a journey, so enjoy the trip. Once you’re off the race track, slip on the Cruisin’ Decal and savor a bit of well-earned rest and relaxation. Doc’s orders!
Being friends with The King has its benefits, and now that Strip Weathers has retired you can don racing’s most famous blue hue with the Dinoco Decal. Wish you could perfectly match your party’s colors in the Arena? You can! Since there’s both a red and blue Decal, you’ll be able to assign each to a team color in your Garage.
The whole world should know when you’re winning. Celebrate every goal with the Ka-chow Goal Explosion. Throw in the “Life Is A Highway” Player Anthem by Rascal Flatts, and they’ll have no choice but to get drivin’.
Of course, no champion race car is complete without a set of wheels to match. The red Lightyear Racing Wheels and blue Lightyear Dinoco Wheels are both tuned and ready for the pitch! Prefer an old-school look? The Lightyear Whitewall Wheels bring back memories of classic hot rods and roadsters.
The Lightning McQueen Car, Ka-chow Goal Explosion, and “Life Is A Highway” Player Anthem will also be available for individual purchase.
