Hi, Backpackers! It’s Jasper and Calvin aka Jas and Gangs!
We wanna let you know that we’re coming to PAX East - you can meet us and play Backpack Hero on our stand from March 23rd till 26th.
But there’s more! We'd love to get to know Backpack Hero community members better! That's why we're thinking of organizing a small get-together outside of PAX - meet up in a bar, have a drink, and just hang out. Let's see how many of you are interested first. Just fill in the form [HERE] and we'll get in touch with more details once everything is set up.
Can’t wait to see you there!

Tote's rework. Part 2...
Hey, Backpackers! A new update is here, and with it with two highlights we're excited to share with you:
Tote’s magical re-rework
The Tote rework continues! With your feedback on the latest changes, we added a few more items for her to use, as well as improved abilities: now you can do damage based on the amount of carvings in your bag, while discarding them.
She also got two new skins and looks absolutely magical now! 🪄
Twitch integration is live
Let your chat help you, or, more likely, mess with you as you storm the dungeons! Your viewers can now vote for items that you get as combat rewards. We're trying out Twitch integration with items right now, but we’re excited to expand it to different aspects of gameplay soon! You can enable Twitch integration in the options menu!
