Ball x Pit is getting a substantial expansion. Revealed at PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, Ball x Pit: Risen Ballbylon launches November 12, 2026 on Steam.

The expansion adds 20 new ball evolutions, eight new hunters, four new biomes, 20 new buildings, and 46 new passives to the roguelike Breakout hybrid. New playable hunters include a sentinel, a character referred to as Potager, and the Scandalmonger, whose mechanic involves rotating balls around the player continuously.

Ball x Pit released to significant engagement at PC Gamer's offices, where staff members spent weeks playing through the game's blend of Breakout mechanics and roguelike progression systems. The expansion aims to provide substantial new content for players who have completed the base game's loops, introducing mechanics and characters that expand the strategic depth of runs.

Players can add the expansion to their Steam wishlist now ahead of the November release.
