- Patch 1.1.0 - 21 September 2026
QoL A monster's card now shows what it sells for, in gold, next to its rarity. The end-of-run summary screen now lets you inspect monsters and trinkets. The Batopedia, Settings and Quit buttons are now on the trainer select screen too. Added Background Audio setting, on the System page under Music, that keeps the audio playing when you alt-tab away. It is On by default. The Batopedia's tabs and its close button sizes increased on mobile, so it's easier to tap with a finger. Settings now opens straight from the title screen, and Run History has moved into the menu button beside it. Balance Changes Events The traveling merchant's exotic monster now joins your shop for the rest of the run.

- Future Update Plans - 20 September 2026
Thank you guys for making the launch of Batomon Showdown such an incredible success! I will continue to work on resolving server and connection issues due to the large influx of new players, but it should be fairly stable for most players now. All Future Regions and Updates Will Be FREEA lot of players have asked if future regions will be sold DLC. Due to the incredible commercial success of the game, I'm committed to making ALL future regions and content FREE! However, I will do a one-time, slight price increase of the game when the next region releases. The price increase will not affect any players who purchase the game before then.Regular Balance UpdatesI'm planning to do balance patches once every two weeks. However, for the first few weeks of the game's launch, I may do balance patches once a week. In the upcoming patch specifically, I'm looking to tone down the power level of the…
- Hotfix 1.0.3 - 19 September 2026
Bugfixes Fixed Extended Mode runs finding no opponents, leaving you to fight a copy of your own team every round. Fixed some players waiting 30 seconds before every battle and then fighting a copy of their own team. Fixed Android players who had just signed in fighting a copy of their own team for the rest of that session. Fixed signing in on Android sometimes doing nothing after the browser sent you back to the game, until you tried a second time. Fixed the page you land on after signing in having no way back to the game when your phone's browser was set to desktop mode. Fixed switching accounts on the same PC or phone offering the new account the previous account's run to continue, and the new account's progress not saving.
