Rogue Glitch Ultra is out now!

Hi everyone!

Today is the big day: Rogue Glitch Ultra has finally launched! :D

For new Rogue Glitch fans, that means you can expect roguelite precision platforming with 150+ weapons and items; 18 characters; secret bosses; and tons of secrets. You can either play solo or up to 4 player co-op (online or local)!

For existing Rogue Glitch fans, you can upgrade to the Ultra version can expect 31 new weapons and items; 5 new characters; 3 new secret bosses; an art style overhaul; myriad quality-of-life changes and bugfixes; numerous buffs, nerfs, and fixes for enemies, bosses, and items; and new rooms.



Fans that own the free base version of Rogue Glitch can of course keep playing it (though not with the new Ultra content without upgrading). Meanwhile, Rogue Glitch players that have already purchased the online multiplayer DLC will get the Ultra update for free!

This is the biggest update to the game yet, so we hope you enjoy the whole package! It was super fun to revisit Rogue Glitch and bring it to its ultimate form. We can’t wait for current fans and new players to dive into the chaos. :) Thanks for all the support you’ve given us on this journey, we wouldn’t have been able to do this without you.

Take care and see you next time!

Rogue Glitch is going into Ultra mode!

Hi all,

This is my first Steam news post for Rogue Glitch in a while – and it’s a big one! I wanted to let you know that Rogue Glitch is going into Ultra mode with a HUGE new update that is pretty much like a re-launch – that’s right, soon enough the game will be named Rogue Glitch Ultra!

I’m super excited for this update. 😄 We’ve been hard at work expanding the original game, and the biggest changes you can expect are a new visual look, 31 new items, 5 new characters, 3 new secret bosses, myriad quality-of-life changes and bug fixes, numerous buffs, nerfs, and fixes for enemies, bosses, and items, and new rooms!

Here is a trailer that shows some of the new content and the new style:



We’ll now have over 150 items that you can use to transform your playstyle, as well as 18 character variants, each with upgrading stats and skins.

Rogue Glitch Ultra will launch as a completely new game on Nintendo Switch November 14th 2023, and at the same time, the Ultra update will land on Steam too.

One other change we will make for the Steam version: we will switch from free-to-play to a classic premium game that includes all the new content and online multiplayer. For existing Rogue Glitch players and fans who have already got the online multiplayer DLC, the update will be completely free, and players of the free version will be able to purchase Rogue Glitch Ultra or keep playing the current free version that is already in their library. The main reason behind the change is that premium games are easier to manage for a small team (from a dev and business side) and I felt the whole package offers a very fair amount of content to make it a full premium indie game.

We wanted to release Rogue Glitch Ultra as a way of saying thank you for all the support and amazing feedback we’ve received from you. 😊 It’s been a challenging but fun road to make this game even bigger and better than before. The end is in sight, and it’s the best part simply because we get to share our work with all of you. Thank you for playing and leaving a review. I can’t wait to hear more from all of you on what you think of Rogue Glitch Ultra.

Take care and see you next time!
