It's Spooky Update Season For Megabonk, Even Though It's Technically The Festive Season
"Developer Vedinad has released the Spooky update for Megabonk, bringing a new map, character, and bosses. The Spooky update was initially "going to be a small Halloween update," according to Vedinad on Steam. That checks out, per the free DLC's name, but the developer added the desire "to make it a bit bigger." As such, the update is arriving for the festive season, with the Megabonk account on X promising a "new meta.""
"Megabonk launched in September, sharing similarities with Vampire Survivors and Risk of Rain. It's a roguelike game where you do your best to survive against an onslaught of enemies on randomized maps. While doing so, you level up and find various items. Last month, Vedinad withdrew Megabonk's nomination from The Game Awards for Best Debut Indie Game. The developer stated that it had "made games in the past under different studio names," so Megabonk's inclusion didn't "feel right.""
The Spooky update for Megabonk adds a new map, character, weapon, multiple items, new enemies and bosses, plus new achievements and challenges. The update began as a small Halloween DLC but was expanded and released for the festive season with a promised shift in the game's meta. Megabonk is a PC-only roguelike launched in September that blends elements of Vampire Survivors and Risk of Rain, featuring randomized maps and item-driven progression. The game's Game Awards nomination was withdrawn due to prior releases under different studio names. The title holds an Overwhelmingly Positive Steam rating, peaked at over 117,000 concurrent players, and is on sale until December 17. The patch notes list late-game FPS improvements and a long list of bug fixes and balancing adjustments.
