Check out the Kaz's Adventure 2: Lost Souls Roadmap!
For Kaz's Adventure (2022.) and Physics Lab (2023.), we used a simple naming system for our major updates being Major Update #1, Major Update #2 and so on but with this game, it's support is planned to last longer then the previous two games and as such it would be better to give each major update its own name rather then get to a point when major updates are called something like "Major Update #55".
Starting with the originally named Major Update #2, every major update will now have its own name with the next one being called The Level Creation Update, see below for further details.
The Level Creation Update - V1.2.2
The Level Creation Update will add the instantly unlocked Level Editor 2.0 mode which first appeared in Kaz's Adventure (2022.) as a secret unlockable mode after collecting a particular amount of power jars.
This level editor will be a massive improvement on the original 2022 mode with grid snap, camera movement, more tiles, custom level saves and more, I don't want to reveal to much about the mode as there will be alot you can do in this mode and we plan to add to the mode in future updates too.
V1.2.2 will also bring some extra additions like a redesign of the main menu, reorganised way to access your paid content and French localisation.
We hope to bring you our biggest update yet around Q3 2025.

Kaz's Adventure: Legacy DLC - Wishlist Now!
Kaz's Adventure: Legacy is a Paid DLC that will release with Major Update #1, Check the store page for more info!
Kaz's Adventure 2: Legacy is a Paid DLC expansion for Kaz's Adventure 2: Lost Souls that will release in 2025 and will include 8 levels with new / returning environments from Kaz's Adventure (2022.), 6 levels will be reimagined versions of the original games World 1 and two completely new levels using the level design philosophy of Kaz's Adventure (2022.).
Classic Features and Enemies:
Kaz's Adventure 2: Legacy will return to the original camera follow system of Kaz's Adventure (2022.) where it will follow Kaz on both the X and Y axis during gameplay, enemies will also only be from the Kaz's Adventure (2022.) selection pool, so there won't be any skeletons or other underworld elements.
An old enemy thought to be dead makes a epic return in the final level of this expansion in a climatic boss fight.
Timeline / Story:
I won't confirm if this takes place before or after Kaz's Adventure 2: Lost Souls main story, mainly to avoid spoilers for the base games ending and the DLCs ending but it's timeline placement is a main part of the DLCs story and it is canon to the storyline unlike previous DLC.
Extra Content:
Along with the 8 levels you will also automatically unlock 4 free cosmetics that will be announced at a later date.
In addition to all, survival mode will get 3 new environments added that can be randomly selected once you unlock survival mode.
Thank you for your Support!
Thank you for your Support!
Thank you to everyone who has tried out Kaz's Adventure 2: Lost Souls, this took along time to make, the game and its story took many different forms along the way!
As a extra thank you, if you type the word "festive" on the main menu, the current menu theme will switch to the Kaz's Adventure: Festive Edition level theme.
V1.0.1 Details
With V1.0.1, the main aim is to add extra stability to the game, across the couple of days Kaz's Adventure 2: Lost Souls has been out, a couple of issues relating to minor gameplay or visual bugs have been found and are being worked on such as NPC dialogue being slow or the attack speed taking too long.
There will also be a few content additions such as the "Race the Lava" unlockable minigame mode and a new trail cosmetic to unlock, there will also be some quality of life improvements like attack and dash changeable key binds so you can traverse the underworld how you want.
There will also be some background adjustments to the upcoming paid DLC which will be announced early next year, I aim to release this update around January next year.
