By Odin, we are joining Steam next fest next week! And we've got some rock-solid new content for the upcoming Fest. This means that you’ll get to test one of our favorite new missions: Rocky! (and even more content, but more on that another day)

This string of three special missions (Normal, Hard, and Brutal) is all about rocks. When a Viking encounters rocks in a playfield, they’ll randomly switch lanes. But in Rocky we have placed out so many it is turning the battlefield into something like a pinball machine. Well... until the Hammer Vikings show up and smash their way through everything!

The goal? Chaos! But for the clever player, it’s also a chance to shape the battlefield to your liking. How to counter all this madness? That’s up to you! But may we suggest Hildur? She’s a stunner, depending on how you feel about trolls. Fun fact: she won “Miss Troll” thanks to her charming ability to rip off her own head and lob it over, well, pretty much anything—including rocks!

Oh, and don’t forget: you can also change the battlefield by dropping rock spells. Wait until a Viking gets close and then—STOMP! Rock smashed, Viking smashed. Two for one, or many if you stack up those vikings!

Thor Palsson (our senior game designer on Trolls Reborn, and part-time god of thunder) had a blast making this level, balancing the “ping-pong effect” of lane-switching Vikings with the brute force of hammer attacks. Hopefully, we hit the just-right sweet spot, but don’t expect the Brutal difficulty to be a walk in the park!

You will be able to play this cool new mission next week! In the meantime, I chucked together a video so you can see a little glimpse of it.



During Next Fest, please let us know what you think of this special mission! We’d love to use this mechanic more in future missions (maybe with stilts?), so if you’ve got ideas on balance or content, give us a shout.

All the best,

Jørgen Tharaldsen
Game Director
Trolls vs Vikings Reborn

Howdy! Just doing a small update containing a few fixes that slipped through the cracks. The next update will include a fun little fishing mini game so stay tuned for that in the next month or so. Thanks for playing!

Patch notes:
- Journal back buttons were not correctly displaying the previous page
- Journal back buttons didn't have the correct controller settings
- The credits screen text has been updated to include what button is needed to skip them
- Some ground work for a small mini game has been added (you can find it but it's not done yet!)
- Couple of the frogs values were incorrectly rewarding points so these were adjusted
- Some of the kart speed values were updated to flow better in levels

This update adds the following...

1. TOW missile flight characteristics have been updated to make it a little more reliable and prevent it from sometimes overshooting its target.

TOW missiles (including HOT) will now fly a more direct path to their target with less "lofting".

Care still needs to be taken when using these missiles especially when firing at close range as they are not very agile and take time to course correct. The best practise is to always make sure your target is centred in the targeting circle and that you are flying steady and stable before launching.

2. Fixed a bug in the Sidearm which was causing some errors when it was operating outside of the player bubble.

3. The Combat Lynx 3 now has selectable M-60 door gunners. This is a 1st pass at getting them to work and as such they do have difficulty tracking a target when moving and sometimes get fixated on targets they cannot hit.

Gunners will target infantry, utility, APCs, IFVs, AAA and SAMs

If you load door gunners then you probably won't be able to load troops at the moment. I will fix that shortly.

The turret system the gunners use is the same as the Shilka and other turreted vehicles and so isn't really optimised for very mobile platforms. Best usage is to fly slow and steady and let the gunners get a good bead on their target. Sometimes they will still refuse to fire though and this is something I will be looking at over the next day or two.

Lock in for the end of the regular season during Season 5 of NBA 2K25.

Victor Wembanyama has officially touched down in Season 5 of NBA 2K25, bringing new anime-inspired player cards in MyTEAM, a host of MyCAREER rewards, and more content with him as the 2024-2025 NBA regular season comes to a close. Hone your craft in The City before the start of the NBA Playoffs to ensure you’re ready to perform in clutch time. As you compete and earn XP this Season, you’ll climb the Season rewards ladder and receive new cosmetics, consumables, MyTEAM cards, and more—let’s get started!




Chosen to carry the weight of the San Antonio Spurs on his shoulders, Wemby isn’t deterred by the high expectations, he rises above them with his towering 7-foot-3 frame. At 21 years old, the former No. 1 overall pick is determined to lead his team into the Playoffs and make some noise. Gain inspiration from Wemby and power your team to victory as MP in MyCAREER, and set your sights on clinching a coveted spot in the postseason.

As you motivate your teammates with superhuman performances, you’ll earn XP with each completed game and level up the Season rewards ladder. Season 5 boasts a bevy of exciting items that you can add to your MyPLAYER’s collection.



Check out some of the rewards available during Season 5:

• Level 9 Skull Player Indicator
  
• Level 12 Black and White Maze Eyes

Introduced in NBA 2K25 at launch, Badge Elevators are permanent boosts to an individual Badge, and can be used within 3 levels of its max potential (if you have a Bronze Badge it can be boosted to Silver, Gold, or Hall of Fame). For the first four Seasons, Badge Elevators have been available as Season Level rewards, but they’ve been capped at +2. Now, starting in Season 5, Badge Elevators are eligible for a +3 boost! From now through Season 8, you can use your Badge Elevators to climb three levels from Bronze to Hall of Fame. Take your game to the next level and improve your strengths, or fine tune some skills that need some polishing.

Turn up the intensity with all-new content in Season 5 and stay tuned for more information about upcoming events in The City and The Neighborhood by following NBA 2K across our social channels.




Overshadow the competition with a MyTEAM lineup that features imposing length at every position. Season 5 of NBA 2K25 introduces a bevy of stunning hand-drawn, anime-inspired MyTEAM cards, including the face of this Season, Victor Wembanyama, beginning at Level 1 of the Season rewards ladder. Add to your card collection with the Level 1 EVO Victor Wembanyama card (Amethyst to Diamond) and blot out any shots that enter your orbit. With this superhuman talent protecting the rim, your MyTEAM’s defense will be on another level, with the ability to swat shot attempts into the atmosphere.

Propel yourself up the rewards ladder by accruing XP and earn the Level 10 Diamond Kelly Oubre Jr. card to strengthen the wing with a rangy, three-point specialist who can play impactful minutes when given the opportunity. Oubre can be inserted and excel in any lineup as an athletic forward who can snuff out guards on the perimeter or on the attack.

Long before Domantas Sabonis started commanding the paint and the glass for the Sacramento Kings, his father, Arvydas Sabonis, established himself as a physical playmaker in the NBA during the mid-to-late ‘90s. The former Portland Trail Blazer was an exceptional rebounder and creative passer, especially for his position and the era. Reach Level 33 and add Galaxy Opal Arvydas Sabonis to your lineup, and pair his well-rounded skillset with Wemby and Oubre for a complementary 3-man lineup that boasts size, length, and three-point range.



Complete the Season 5 rewards ladder with another former Portland Trail Blazer, three-time All-Star, and former Rookie of the Year, Brandon Roy. Despite a relatively short NBA career that spanned six seasons, Roy possessed superstar potential and was a potent offensive threat. Implement the Level 40 Dark Matter Brandon Roy card into your lineup and wreak havoc with his freakish athleticism, gifted handles, and exceptional shot-making. Take the court with Wemby, Oubre, Sabonis, and Roy, and enjoy even more MyTEAM content as you progress through Season 5.

Below are more available rewards during Season 5:

• Level 18 Cyber Basketball
  
• Level 25 95+ Option Pack
  
• Level 37 97+ Galaxy Opal Door Game
  
• Level 38 Legend Badge

NBA All-Star Weekend is all about watching the best of the best go head-to-head in front of the world. While the 2025 All-Star Game is officially past, you can still challenge NBA superstars and legends during their prime in MyTEAM’s Domination mode.

During Season 5, NBA 2K25 will feature a Team Heroes Domination mode, where you can compete against the best player from all 33 teams during when they were at their peak. Defeat all 33 teams and earn 99 stars to receive a special Galaxy Opal Bob McAdoo card.

Showcase your new cards in MyTEAM’s single-player and multiplayer modes, and put your skills to the test against endless lineup combinations.


WNBA free agency has been a blur, with several of the league’s biggest stars trading in their old jersey for a new one; Brittney Griner left the Phoenix Mercury after 11 years with the team to join the Atlanta Dream; two-time WNBA champion Kelsey Plum was traded from the Las Vegas Aces to the Los Angeles Sparks; and the Indiana Fever continue to build around Caitlin Clark.

That's right!! 500 sales!! Can you imagine that?! And that's not counting Itch.io players, review codes or playtesters - 500!!! I can't believe it!!

I'm eternally lucky and thankful for every single person who helped me get this far - friends, family, web mutuals, and work acquaintances, everyone who gave the game a shot in its infancy, everyone who ever tweeted about it or made a YouTube video, anyone who ever told a friend they thought it was cool - you guys are all rockstars.

Since SomnaBuster's launch, I've been working on another game - a boss rush called 'Disaster Arms - Impact Project B.A.H.N.'. Conceptually, it's a game in the spirit of Treasure's Alien Soldier, though the core gameplay combines elements I've used in both Cycle Chaser H-5 and SomnaBuster. I don't have a lot to share about it at the moment, but I can promise development is rolling smoothly. With luck, it should be the first of many SomnaBuster follow-ups to come.

Lastly, I've created a survey for SomnaBuster players. It should take 3 minutes to fill out, I'd really appreciate if everyone could take a moment out of their day to record their responses.

Here's to another 500!
