- Patch 1.4.13.0 - 10 June 2026
Hello Heroes!Since the release of the latest update, we’ve been genuinely impressed by your talent for pushing Monsters Are Coming! further than we expected and, sometimes, for completely breaking the game in ways we didn’t think were possible.Endless Mode especially has already shown us how creative, determined, and terrifyingly efficient some of you can be.

- Road of Fortune Update and Power Corrupts DLC - 22 April 2026
Hello Heroes!This is Edouard, Game Director, and one of the folks making this game.If Monsters follows one law, it’s this: you survive by changing faster than the danger around you. So for Patch 3, we pushed in a direction that matters a lot to us: giving you more ways to fight, more ways to build, and more ways to shape your runs.That’s a big reason why we added Luck and Critical Hits. From the start, our goal has been to make every run open the door to more distinct builds, stronger synergies, and sharper strategic choices. We want the game to reward experimentation, and we want each new stat or system to create more variety in how you survive.We also wanted to bring more madness into the run itself, with bigger swings, riskier moments, and more battlefield chaos. That’s what led to the new Power-Ups: tools that can suddenly shift the pace of a fight and create the kind of high-impact…
