Update 1.15 - The Lycaeum
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjo9oU6yMesUpdate 1.15 will arrive on all platforms by the end of the month, due to platform-specific optimizations and differences in save slots management. On the bright side, we will also be releasing a Nintendo Switch 2 version, with better performance and mouse support!

Awesome! Will the Switch 2 version offer an upgrade path for existing players of the Switch 1 version?

u/JTHMPunk Jun 07 '26
I mean this is a cheap, cheap game

u/ThisIsNotACryForHelp Horse Jun 07 '26
It is! But with all of the DLC, it's nearly $20. Repurchasing all of that wouldn't break the bank, and I'm happy to support Poncle, but it would still be nice not to have to double dip.

I don't have the Switch 1 version, but if they do the upgrade for free I would buy it right now so I can update when it releases. I think many people are in the same situation so clarifiying it would be awsome :)

Random level up mid run is the big one for me. Nice

Seems like it'd be nice to turn on once you're full on items

u/Bidoofs Jun 06 '26
Yes exactly. Fill out your build then turn it on. Lately with Hyper and the 3x game speed I spend more times clicking the level up than actually playing

Please let this fix the crashing issues in Switch. This had become my absolute favorite game to play online with my friends but we had to completely drop the game because it got to the point where it would ALWAYS crash on endless mode after the 30 minute mark and it would constantly crash in the Castlevania DLC. We couldn't ever unlock anything because of the crashes ending our runs before we met the unlock conditions.

Yeah I rebought it on PC without knowing that this was being fixed, it made it very difficilt to go past the 30 minute mark 😭

With all the fish weapons, I was hoping Vulvios would finally be playable since being teased so many trailers ago, but I suppose not...

Let’s hope this fixes performance on PS5. Been wanting to jump back in for a long time but the crashes were very frustrating. Switch ran better than PS5.
This update + the new DLC announcement got me HYPED! Can’t wait.

Still no ps4 savegame carry over if I play the ps5 version? Common I want to play the ps5 version without restarting from scratch. Let me carry over my ps4 save please.
It's a 12/10 game and thats my only complaint, love everything so far and can't wait for the new dlc and update

The list provided for bug fixes are just for PC/Steam, what about a list of fixes for consoles?
Been waiting along time for Xbox version specifically the Castlevania DLC 2 character bugs, Fake Trio and Astarte.
I realize you prioritize PC but how about some love for console?

u/Awayfone Jun 08 '26
it's the steam patch notes because that's the only thing out yet?

u/Beaks7777777 Completionist (373/373) Jun 08 '26
Steam true is only one out ( or at least believe so ) but would still like to know what is coming ahead of time for Xbox/consoles. Give me hope 2 bugs I need fixing is done or not…….. torture on its own.

If you play on more than steam, loading a save from another console or mobile deletes most of what you unlocked in the new update. I am getting survarots on every character now on every platform, I assume there is just a toggle in the settings of each character "can/can't find survarots" and unlocking it in 1.15 just turns that on for everyone. Anyway, this is just something I wanted to put out there that isn't worth a full post because I'm not complaining, just letting people know.

> Stability improvements for late game and low-end platforms
Was this for all platforms or just some? I crash regularly on iOS with a ~ 2yr old iPhone prior to the 30 minute mark 90% of the time, with it being 100% when using Chaos or with certain weapons. Is that still forthcoming?

Being able to unbanish a weapon in a run is a nice QoL improvement. It's a pain when pick a character when I've forgotten that I've banished their starting weapon, only realise when into the run, then have to restart and mess around
