Added:

• Added an animation for the "Old-school TV with a Heart" item.

Fellowship will be going into a brief maintenance on October 31 @ 10:00am CET to apply some hot fixes that address a few issues discovered since today's patch.

Maintenance Details:

• Start Time: October 31, 2025 @ 10:00 AM CET

• Servers: Offline during this time

• What’s This Maintenance For?

  • This brief maintenance is for us to apply some hot fixes that address a few issues discovered since today's patch.

  • See below for patch notes!

• Fixed an issue where AFK timer was tracking inactivity during the login queue.

• Updated the store entry of Ardeos’ \[Emberjack Lord Regalia] skin to use Gold instead of Supplies, in line with the rest of the event.

• Fixed an issue where the ‘Crafting’ station Tutorial prompt kept re-appearing, despite having been completed.

Meiko

• \[Stone Shield health] increased by 10%.

• Reverted \[Unwavering Spirit] to once again be multiplicative, rather than additive (without making her armor infinitely grow).

• Reduced the armor gained from \[Unwavering Spirit] to 30% (was 50%).

  • Note: This is not reflected in tooltips until we do our next localization update.

• Increased the armor granted by each \[Stone Shield] charge to 50% (was 35%).

  • Note: This is not reflected in tooltips until we do our next localization update.

Helena

• Helena's Max \[Toughness] and Toughness generation was increased by 10%.

• The Sapphire Gem Power \[Ancestral Surge] no longer shows an Icon while active due to a bug that was causing the Icon to stay permanently. The gameplay functionality has not been changed and works as expected.

• Fixed an issue with \[Fated Strike], causing it to not refresh its buff when reapplied while still active.

• Fixed an issue with \[Fated Strike], causing it to sometimes fail when standing very close to the target.

Bugfixes

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s been playin’ the Far Far West Open Playtest so far. Seeing so many of you jump in and cause absolute chaos has been incredible to watch.

We actually hit a peak of 2424 concurrent players last night, which is honestly wild to us. When we started working on this weird little cowboy game, we never imagined we’d see so many of you playing together so soon. You’ve made our dusty dev hearts real happy <3

To celebrate (because it’s the season), we’ve just pushed a Halloween update to the playtest build!

play on normal+ difficulty and you might see a Halloween modifier on the Far West map

Complete at least 3 Halloween events to unlock the Pumpkin SPOOOOOOKY Skin

1. update the game!

There’s still time to play solo or with friends, and help us test (or just blow things up for fun).

If you haven’t already, come hang out with us over on the FFW Discord - it’s where we share updates, gather feedback, and chat with you all more directly about the game.

Thanks again for playing, for the feedback, and for helping us make Far Far West into something special.

See y’all out there!

Here are the patch notes for Echoes of the End: Enhanced Edition:

For the last few months, we’ve been going through the mountains of feedback you guys have given us since release. We’ve been seeing what we can do to improve on frequently highlighted points of frustration; what we can do to add in features you felt were missing for the game to feel complete. And today, we’re happy to release the culmination of that work, with this Enhanced Edition update for Echoes of the End.

The full patch notes will be linked below, but some highlights include:

• A brand new equipment system that lets you mix and match cosmetic outfits with relics that modify your stats and abilities.

• A combat overhaul that takes the changes already made in our first combat update and pushes them even further.

• A complete rework of Ryn’s core animation set, designed to tackle the feeling of “floatiness” and detachment from the world.

• A redesign of the game’s first chapter and tutorial experience, designed to get you into the flow of the story quicker.

• A reduction in menial interactions.

• New Game+

• And so much more.

Alternatively, you can check out the video here for a deeper dive into everything the Enhanced Edition has to offer.

We want to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who played the game and took a moment to leave us your thoughts and feedback. Your support has been invaluable in helping us make Echoes of the End the best it can be, and we want you to know that we will continue listening as we move forward.

Whether you’re returning to Aema or stepping into it for the first time, we hope you enjoy the Enhanced Edition as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.

Folks, when I tell you the team has been cooking, I mean we’ve been cooking up a full course menu.

  • This soundtrack is enabled by default when playing Shovel Knight.

    • It can be selected for other characters in single-player via the 'Change Soundtrack' menu.

    • Achievements can still be unlocked while playing with the Shovel Knight soundtrack.

• Added a 'Character Restrictions' menu, allowing the host to lock certain characters for everyone in online lobbies

  • This menu can be found in Customize > Custom Rules > Gameplay Options > Character Restrictions

  • This allows any sprite to be resampled using a 2D affine transformation while preserving outlines

  • This is mainly intended for downscaling sprites to generate miniature in-world attachments, and may not preserve stray pixels (e.g. weapon sparkles)

  • To prevent pixels from being detected as "outlines" by this filter, adjust the R/G/B components of at least 25% of transparency-adjacent pixels by 1
