Ball x Pit Update
The Ball x Pit Regal update is a free, content-heavy patch that’s live now on consoles and PC, bringing new characters, balls, passives, and the much‑requested Endless Mode. @BALLxPIT shared on X that BALL x PIT: The Regal Update is now available for free on all platforms.
It’s the first of three major free updates planned for 2026, with Shadow and Naturalist updates coming later in the year, so Regal feels like the opening chapter of a bigger post‑launch roadmap.
Players had been asking for more late‑game depth and build variety, and this patch leans right into that with new ways to break runs in the best possible way.
The update also fits neatly into the game’s worldbuilding: high‑society themed “hunters,” fancier (and nastier) projectiles, and fresh structures for New Ballbylon that slot naturally into existing runs.
It doesn’t feel like a bolt‑on DLC; more like the devs looked at the meta, saw what players were doing with status effects and evolutions, and said, “Alright, let’s turn that up a notch.”
Ball x Pit Update Trailer
Yes, Ball x Pit’s Regal update has a dedicated launch trailer, and it wastes no time showing off the chaos. The short clip cycles through the two new characters, flashy new ball effects, and a quick tease of Endless Mode with waves of enemies piling on as the timer climbs.
It’s the kind of trailer that doesn’t over‑explain; it just throws fireworks, debris, and crit numbers on screen until it clicks: this is still pinball‑meets‑bullet‑hell, just bigger.
Platform channels like Xbox and IGN have also pushed their own cuts of the Regal trailer, which helps because watching a Stone ball crumble mid‑bounce or Fireworks scatter across the arena looks better in motion than in patch notes.
For many players, the trailer has become the real “patch preview,” a quick watch during lunch, then straight into the game to try and recreate that one ridiculous build shown for half a second.
New Ball Evolutions in Ball x Pit’s Regal Update
The Regal update adds eight new balls, most of them evolutions, and they lean hard into status stacking and environmental control. Stone is the big new basic ball, a heavy hitter that smashes hard at first but gradually breaks down as it keeps bouncing, which adds a fun risk‑reward layer to certain builds. Around Stone and other existing elements, the update then wraps a set of wild evolutions.
A few of the standouts:
-
Fireworks – bursts outward in unpredictable patterns, spraying damage in all directions and turning the screen into a mini light show.
-
Banished Flame – a burn‑status variant that runs shorter but hits much harder, great for quick melts rather than slow cooks.
-
Brimstone – layers burn with poison, letting damage linger long after the ball has left the area.
-
Landslide – triggers a cascading wave of debris in front of impact, leaving a temporary danger zone that eats away at clustered enemies.
Behind the scenes, there are also new passive evolutions like Grotesque Artillery and Deadeye’s Impaler, which tie together earlier items and reward players who understand the existing recipes.
It nudges the game toward more “build crafting” runs, where part of the fun is hunting that last component needed to unlock a crazy evolution recipe.
Characters in Ball x Pit’s Regal Update
The Regal update introduces two new playable characters, The Falconer and The Carouser, each with a distinct gimmick that genuinely changes how runs feel.
The Falconer launches two balls via birds that flank the screen, giving attacks a wide, sweeping spread that’s perfect for covering big enemy formations or setting up chain reactions.
The Carouser, on the other hand, acts like a chaotic noble troublemaker, distorting ball trajectories with a personal gravity field that curves shots in unexpected (and sometimes brilliant) ways.
Both characters are unlocked through in‑game blueprints, tied to new structures like the Falconry Hut and Party House, which encourages exploration instead of just menu unlocks.
Once they’re in the roster, they slot alongside the existing cast as fully viable picks, especially in Endless Mode, where their quirks can carry or completely derail a deep run depending on how greedy the build gets.
It’s the kind of update where experimenting with “the weird new character” is half the fun, especially when a lucky synergy turns a messy, bouncing screen into a perfectly controlled storm.
