Ballbylon has risen in Ball x Pit’s first DLC this November

A big expansion is coming to the hit roguelite ball ’em up Ball x Pit, as the Risen Ballbylon DLC will arrive for PC, console and mobile on 12th November.

There’s been some free updates for the game, but Risen Ballbylon will be the biggest expansion yet, and arrives as a $7 DLC.

Ballbylon floats high up in the sky for you to explore, each level representing a layer of the former city, which has been warped by a strange meteor. It will feature new characters, balls, passives, enemies, bosses, buildings, and levels, ramping up the potential variety through a run and increasing the gameplay challenge for veterans. You will need to be a veteran, as it is only accessible after completing the base game.

In numbers, Risen Ballbylon will include:

• 4 new battlefields (each with new bosses)
• 40 new enemies
• 45 new passives
• 8 new heroes
• 24 new balls
• 20 new buildings

The new characters include the Sentinel, who can aim in any direction, Stonewaller, whose balls warp to the other side the first time they hit a wall, and The Right Hand Man, with balls that deal double damage when they hit the right wall but only half when they hit the left. Make sense?

Ball x Pit was one of our favourite games of last year, Dom saying in our review, “Ball X Pit carries the spirit of an arcade classic, while imbuing it with modern roguelike ideas. It’s immediately one of the best indie games of the year.”
