A Shuriken To Fix Them All
Hope you had a blast last weekend during the Shuriken Parry free weekend! We'll admit that for the longest time, the Shuriken Parry game mode was a teeeeeeny tiny bit broken. Determining what made it crash proved to be quite difficult, so we rewrote it completely from scratch! That's the Shuriken Parry you played in the Free Weekend.
We can't be 100% it's going to work for everyone, but it's proved to be more stable than the previous version you were all used to crapping out. No more broken game mode! Hurrah!
As a token of our appreciation to those of you that played Shuriken Parry during the Free Weekend (read: were our guinea pigs, we love you), we've gifted it directly to the inventories of everyone who played it online. Those that already owned the game mode will have received 3400 Not Coins.
All the best,

Shuriken Parry Free Weekend And Localization Update!
The days are slowly getting gloomier (at least, around our part of the block) and that means itâs becoming stay-inside-and-play-video-games season slowly but surely!
What's a better way to get into that than by making Shuriken Parry FREE this weekend for everyone? Weâll admit itâs been a bit broken, but weâre excited for you to try the new and updated (less-broken) version! It's going to be available for everyone to play between September 16th, 2 PM UTC until September 19th, 12 PM UTC.
On top of that, weâre also launching updates for all our Asian languages this weekend made possible through our collaboration with Beep Company, so enjoy our updates to Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
What are you still reading this for?! Go play some silly video games with your friends!Â
Get your warm bevvie (kara-tea, anyone?) ready and take care,Â

Celebrating the World Nature Conservation Day with a NEW character!Â
Hope youâre all enjoying your summer vacations, frolicking in the sun and whatnot. Actually, thatâs what we wanted to talk to you about. Not only summer, but nature.
Today, July 28th, is the World Nature Conservation Day - a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of preserving the environment and all its gifts. This year, we wanted to take part in the celebration ourselves, so we made a donation to the Clean Air Task Force, an environmental organization thatâs all about reducing global carbon emissions to address climate change.
And that's not all! We came up with a cute new character to remind ourselves always to do our part to protect nature.Â
Everybody, meet Beanie! The little ecosystem on legs that started in a jar and grew all the way to our hearts.Â
Beanie will be unlockable for anyone playing online matches between July 28th - August 28th So all you have to do to get in touch with your inner conservationist is obliterate some joes. Easy!
Last but not least, weâd like to encourage each and every one of you to reflect on how you can do your part to preserve and protect this planet we call home. If not for yourself, do it for Beanie!Â
Take care, and stay hydrated!

PS: Bonus little comic strip about our Beanie already making waves in the MoD team.
Community Collab Characters are ready for their Move or Die debut!
- UnOriginal_1 with YVX, the hollow cutie with an eldritch demeanor
- theburningshamrock with Wi-Fry, the ever-buffering accursed connection
- TeqieLemon with Statik, the tuned out TV character
As we promised, the winners will be awarded the 3 characters and will have their names mentioned in their respective characterâs description. Theyâll also get a bunch of not-coins to spend as they please. As for everybody else, you can get into the skins of the collab characters by simply unlocking them via the Not-A-Store.
And if you missed that event, join us on Discord for more fun collabs.
Thanks again for taking part and see you in the lobby!
Move or Die and Dead by Daylight present: the Thrill of the Hunt Update!
Hey there buds or shall we say survivors? đ±
This summer, Dead by Daylight and Move or Die try to play nice together in the aptly dubbed Thrill of the Hunt Update! Surprised? Careful, thatâs one of the first steps in getting yourself murdered.Â
Hereâs what youâll find or, more probably, what may find you in this killer collaboration!Â
Killers on the loose
This wouldnât be much of a guest appearance without us giving the olâ Move or Die makeover to some of Dead by Daylightâs creepiest killers⊠plus Genny! You can now bump in the dark, especially when playing with the Lights Off mutator, against certified slayers like Trapper, Huntress or Blight, but also sigh in relief at the sight of Genny, a lighter addition to our roster.
Blood-curdling cosmeticsÂ
Killers often leave their mark at the scene of the crime, so we came up with some appropriate items for you to hang on to while cowering in fear. Thereâs a Scratches Trail to let others know that danger is near, a new Dead by Daylight-inspired Emote Wheel for when youâre too terrified to talk and new Death Splatters for when you inevitably meet your demise.Â
All of the new characters and cosmetics will be unlocked at random by playing online matches.Â
Game Mode Makeover
Â
To keep up with this updateâs killer theme, certain game modes have also gotten the horror treatment - Radiation, Loot Grab and Spike Ball are now adorned with Dead by Daylight cosmetics which will be available for a month from now.Â
Last but not least, weâre unlocking 6 New Community Debt Characters for you to enjoy. As per usual, all you have to do to unlock them is contribute to the ever-increasing Community Debt Bar.
For more info on everything we've added, tweaked, fixed, and made spooky:
đ Head over to our patchnote list!
Before we say goodbye, weâd like to thank the awesome people at Dead by Daylight for making this crossover update possible. For a bunch of stone-cold killers, they seem really nice.Â
Now go out there and make a killing!Â
See ya in the bloody lobby \o

Is this thing cursed? Check out our NEWEST GAME MODE - Pandoraâs Blast!
Hey there!
We teased you, now itâs time to please you! It's been a cool minute since we last came up with a new game mode ,but now it's time to deliver. Pandora's Blast is ready to make its big Move or Die debut starting today! Letâs take a peek inside, shall we?
A tale tailor-made for troublemakers
It all started with our 6-Year Adventure, which like the past actual year, quickly turned kind of grim. As our four trouble-seeking protagonists went about their yearly anniversary tour, they found themselves blundering about an ancient temple. One thing led to another and one of them, most likely Count, couldnât help themselves and opened the mysterious Pandoraâs Box. This promptly led to every evil breaking free into the world starting with the damned box itself. Some of these evils are worse than others, with a few even taking Joe form and finding their way into Move or Die.
The all seeing eyes of ouch!
The gist of the curse is straightforward. To survive Pandoraâs wrath all you have to do is hide from her all-seeing eyes and evade their beams of death. The last Joe standing is spared and gets to declare himself the winner. If it sounds a bit unnerving itâs because it is:
To get this new Rare-rated game mode all you have to do is provide the appropriate amount of Not-Coins and enjoy the havoc.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the drop rates for game modes and mutators has been tweaked since the 6 Year Anniversary Update rolled out and weâd really appreciate the communityâs input on this change and if itâs been noticeable so far. Please let us know in the comments or on our dedicated Discord channel. We're really trying to find a good balance for this, that makes the unlocks feel rewarding for everyone involved.
A silver lining for a sinister curse
Now, preaching all doom and destruction can get a little dull, so here are a few positive things we can look forward to in the following months.
Another great game-mode is in the making that weâre pretty sure youâll absolutely die for. Itâs a bona-fide killer! Make sure you join our Community Discord Server to get the latest news, and while youâre at it why not make some game-mode suggestions of your own? Weâve made a âgame ideasâ channel specifically for this, so check that out too - Join the Discord Game Suggestion Channel
Last but definitely not least, get your thinking-chicken-caps ready for The Community Character Collaboration (contest)! Weâre opening submissions for new Move or Die characters and are in dire need of dumb ideas. Make sure to check out our Discord server because all the details, as well as submissions themselves, will be posted in the #character-collab channel - Join the Discord Community Character Collab Channel
Thatâs it for now but stay tuned for other exciting friendship-ruining announcements!

NEW UPDATE! - 6 Year Anniversary Update for Move or Die!
Remember that last update where we made a ton of promises? Those sounded good, right? Well, we came to deliver with the MOVE OR DIE 6th ANNIVERSARY UPDATE!
That's right, some of you die-hard fans have been playing our party game for 6 whole years! Time sure flies when you're having fun! Doesn't it just fill you with existential dread? Now, let's all calm down a little bit and finally get back to addressing those promises that we made.
First of all, we finally have a new game mode in the pipeline!!! It's not launching today, as we're still doing some last minute balancing and testing, but you shall be able to play it very soon.
This first new game mode is called Pandora's Blast! We don't wanna spoil too much about it, but you can be sure that avoiding those demonic eyes is gonna be one of your top priorities.
Complementing the new mode, we have the titular Pandoraâs Box as a character! This box loves making people miserable, and hopefully you can use it to make your friends hate you even more than they already do. I mean, that's the point of the game right?
You can get Pandora's Box by simply playing an online match during the next couple of weeks.
But the box ainât all, as we have a whole slew of new characters coming to the Community Debt Unlock Bar! Some quick spoilers below, for your personal enjoyment.
Wow, we are really getting stuffed with characters, huh? And speaking of the Community Debt Bar, remember all of last year's characters? Well, since you've most likely missed some of them, we're giving you a second chance. All of the 2021 released cosmetics will now be available in the Not-A-Store and Bid Wars rotation.
Of course, this means a new Daily Contribution season is starting today, so your previous progress has been reset.
As promised, there's a whole lot of bug fixes and quality of life improvements that we plan on bringing to the game in 2022. This update will contain the first set of changes that we think will make the game more stable and enjoyable. To check out the most recent changes, please head on out to the Patch Notes page on our website.
Thank you for sitting through all that, we appreciate your time and hope it was worth it.
To reward all your hard work, here's a sneak peek at whatâs coming next, later this year:
- some exciting crossover content you will NOT expect
- more bug fixes and quality of life improvements
- more game modes
- more mutators
- many more cute characters and cosmetics
- and more Move or Die fun!
Make sure to follow us on Twitter and join the community on our Discord Server!
We hope you enjoy, and thank you for playing.

The Act Like Itâs Christmas Mini-Update! The stage is set!
So suit up and get ready to break some legs because this holiday season weâre setting the stage for The Act Like Itâs Christmas Mini-Update!
Five new characters are making their theatrical debut and all of them are tough acts to follow. We have the front and rear ends of a reindeer, a kid with a needlessly complex Shakespearean costume and, because itâs Christmas after all, a Bible-accurate angel to watch over you while you sleep. Itâs just a kid in a costume, but the fear is real.
A special snowflake of a character will also be added to the Move or Die roster. His name is Deepflake and what makes him unique is that he wonât be coming to the Debt Bar or Not-A-Storeâą, but instead heâll be awarded for FREE to anyone playing an online multiplayer match between December 22nd and January 5th.
And of course, it wouldnât be a holiday update without our classic 75% winter discount - perfect as a last-minute gift idea or a great icebreaker for the olâ Christmas table!
What's to come in 2022!
Last but not least, we leave you with the greatest gift of all - promises!
This year, we dedicated all of our time and resources towards guaranteeing a steady flow of cosmetics and professional localization work to the game. While this was a very pretty big deal for us, we're once again confirming the fact that we hear you loud and clear.
You want NEW GAME MODES and MUTATORS, as well as other additional ways to spice up your Move or Die experience from a gameplay standpoint.
For 2022, while the speed at which we bring updates to the game might slow down a bit, we are 100% committed to bringing at least 3 new game modes (that are already in development) as well as a handful of new mutators, to make them even more crazy.
In 2022, we're also dedicated to fixing a lot of the longstanding issues and bugs that have been plaguing the game for the last couple of years. Yes, this includes such classics as the Shuriken Parry issue, the infamous audio glitch, as well as a slew of other stability issues for all platforms (Linux included).
So keep your eyes peeled for the 6th Year Anniversary Roadmap, which will be announced sometime in early Spring 2022.
Besides these, a steady flow of new characters & other cosmetics will continuously be added to the Debt Bar unlock system every month!
Thank you so much for your patience and continuous support. We promise to make 2022 worth it for everyone.
See ya on the other side!

The Grand Russian Heist is now in motion!
Weâre happy to be continuing our localization endeavours with a thrilling new chapter! This time itâs got grandeur, itâs got grit and even a dash of danger, so without further ado please welcome The Grand Russian Heist mini-update, complete with a new and improved Russian language localization! It hasnât been easy, but as with any heist, we expect a big payout by the end.
But the lovely Russian language isnât all we bring to the table, there are also three brand-new heist-themed characters that canât wait to crack some in-game skulls.
Thereâs the stern but fair Barry - our trusted security guard that may or may not be in on the whole thing. Then comes Egg-Eggovich, the priceless egg-shaped artefact that makes-up this mini-updateâs main object of desire and, last but not least, MaâTrioshka - the last line of defence in a highly sophisticated security system. Think of her like a frag grenade disguised as a museum exhibit. We hope youâll have as much fun playing them as we had dreaming them up!
But this heist thing is a two-way deal. We get to steal the love and appreciation of the Russian people and all of you get to steal Move or Die for 75% off as part of The Steam Autumn Sale going on between November 24th and December 1st! Win-win? We think so too!
This will probably be all we have in store in terms of localization updates for this year, but as per usual, we highly appreciate the reporting of any language bugs or other feedback you think would be of use.
Thank you for supporting Move or Die throughout our 5th year! We wonât be done yet though. Expect one last hurrah this year with the new Winter Holiday Mini-Update in December when weâll also talk about whatâs to come in 2022. *Spoilers - it wonât just be new cosmetics.
See ya soon!

Welcome to the Smart House of Horrors Mini Update!
This Halloween weâre focusing on one of the scariest places ever - your own home! Thatâs right, your house has a mind of its own and is indeed out to get you. If you donât believe us, all you have to do is take a closer look. Your computer may be spying on you, your vacuum cleaner might be plotting your murder and that whole mess of cables youâve been meaning to untangle is allegedly one step away from achieving sentience and strangling you in your sleep. Feeling paranoid yet? Perfect! Itâs exactly the state of mind you need to be in when experiencing our new Smart House of Horrors Mini-Update!
As with every Halloween update, weâve given Move or Die a monstrous makeover, complete with bloody splatters, a sinister soundtrack and all the scary imagery needed to keep you awake at night.
There are also new, scary characters! Please make your acquaintance with Lando - the corrupted Wi-Fi Router, Big Sys - the all seeing eye of the establishment and, finally, the Demo-chordon - a tangle of cables with demonic predispositions.
But the fun doesnât end here, weâve also prepared some new in-game items for you all to frolic with - a crypto trail, binary confetti and a hi-tech digital splatter, so that your data can be accessed even after death.
And, of course, no seasonal update would be complete without our already classic 75% discount. So cheap itâs almost on the house! Get it?
Thanks for making it this far,
- Team Move or Die
