- The Storm Temple - Stability & Survivability Update - 10 March 2026
Hello everyone,Today we’re releasing our Spring update, bringing fixes to multiplayer save issues, smoother early and mid-game progression, and a new area to explore. Over the past two months we’ve focused heavily on stability, combat balance, and progression based on player feedback. The update also introduces a new area: The Storm Temple, a domed ziggurat built on the cliffs above the southern beach.If you haven’t played in a while, now is a great time to return to the island and see how MycoRelic has evolved.

It helped guide a lot of the improvements in this update.Let’s take a look at what’s new.Progression & World FlowWe’ve made significant changes to the early island experience to reduce friction and improve the pacing of progression after the Lighthouse.Scrap Beach AdjustmentsReduced early combat fri…
- The Flaming Wind Pre-Release - Early Access v0.3.058 - 20 December 2025
Flaming Wind ZizifekZizifek is the hardest boss we've made to date. Bring plenty of water. We really enjoy the fight but are interested in feedback surrounding balance. Some of you may remember Zizifek from very old versions of the game. The fight has been revamped while preserving some of the original spirit. There are a few tools we are withholding which will make the fight easier. We will release those in future updates. We also intend to add more loot to the drop table as we receive feedback surrounding the fight. New Mini-Dungeon: Zanorian ApproachGuarding Zizifek's volcano are its acolytes, denizens of Zanor who worship The Flaming Wind. These wayward knights sit atop their walls and smolder for your approach. They wield piercing blades, disk launchers, and fire. Uncommon Fungal Minds Now Drop from MinibossesWe saw people get frustrated that they couldn't find a specific green tie…
- Early Access Patch v0.3.010 - 9 December 2025
Protochasm Changes: Added a work around for the first floor not generating by re-triggering the generation in circumstances where it doesn't generate. Enabled level streaming for all floors of the protochasm, this should boost fps significantly especially on floor 3. Floor 1 and 2 are slightly more complex. Fix for issue where clients in multiplayer would see the entrance door being closed when it was open for the host. During internal testing, we have found that Floor 1 reliably generates, but there may still be issues especially on slower CPUs.
- Early Access Patch v0.3.003 - 6 December 2025
Thanks to a few bug reports, we've fixed a few things wrong with the most recent update. Fixed blade traps dealing damage every tick Fixed enemy spiritballs dealing double damage Fixed a fungal mind having 200 charge Fixed some collision issues preventing AI from traversing across modules in the Protochasm Fixed issue with a certain miniboss not being retriggerable after failing the fight Fixing the protochasm floor 1 occasionally not generating We've also made it so you no longer drop soft/volatile moldmetal on death. There's a lot to say on this last change, but we'll save that for a more thoughtful dev blog or something. We've found many frustrating things can happen and this system is pending a rework. We're always listening to you guys so if you have thoughts about this we'd love to hear them.
- Into the Protochasm - Early Access Patch v0.3.000 - 4 December 2025

- Development Branch Patch v0.2.953 - 20 November 2025
Dev Branch Now OpenHey everyone. We've made the decision to open up the dev branch and get feedback on new things before we push this update to the live branch. If you're interested in seeing what we've been cooking for the last month, you can enable the dev build by going into your betas tab and selecting "dev_branch" from the drop down menu. Keep in mind that Unreal Engine dev builds run a bit slower than shipping builds. It's also worth noting that the save location for a dev build is not the same as a shipping build. You will have full access to the console including the ability to spawn WIP items, etc. Some of you have already done this with third party tools. If you want to use the console, press ' or " once. Expect a more detailed devlog when we push this update out after we've had a bit of time to polish and balance the new content. Below we've listed a few key points about what…
