Megabonk has become an absolute sensation among indie game lovers, quickly becoming one of 2025’s most talked-about solo dev projects. With an addictive and highly replayable gameplay loop, hundreds of challenges and unlockables, and a quirky and hilarious design, Megabonk is a huge hit among fans and has sold over a million copies since its release earlier this year.
According to a post by developer vedinad on the game’s official Discord server, Megabonk is getting a “(totally not delayed) spooky halloween update” that is expected to launch “this or next week,” and confirms that there “will be some new content instead of just bug fixes and balancing.” While players have been expecting new content at some point, this announcement confirms it’s coming sooner than expected.
Megabonk Update With New Content Launching Soon
Delayed Megabonk Halloween Update Will Release Within The Next Few Weeks
Things have been quiet over at Megabonk for the past few weeks, but in a post addressed to the community yesterday, developer vedinad announced that he is still working on a “spooky halloween update” that has presumably been in the works for some time. Since Megabonk was created by a one-man crew, updates and patches are expected to take some time, and delays are not surprising.
Megabonk fans have been speculating over when they’ll receive new content or the next patch, and ved’s post yesterday was an unexpected surprise. New content could come in many forms, such as additional challenges, characters, items, enemies, areas, weapons, and more. So far, details are limited, but ved seems confident that the update will release in the next two weeks.
While it’s well past Halloween and the spooky update is more likely to launch closer to Thanksgiving, it’s unlikely players are going to care all that much and will simply be excited to get their hands on some new Megabonk content.
New Megabonk Content Is A Great Sign For Players
Megabonk Keeps Giving Fans Reasons To Jump Back In
It’s hard to believe how much Megabonk content is included in the base game considering it’s only a $10 game, and the fact that players are going to be getting additional content for free is really amazing, especially this soon after the game’s launch. While it isn’t clear exactly what type of content will be included in the update, the game’s developer hasn’t let players down so far.
Outside the new content, I’m interested in seeing what sort of bug fixes or balancing tweaks ved plans to make in the update. Previous Megabonk updates have completely changed certain character mechanics, nerfing/buffing abilities and creating an entirely new OP meta-build for Noelle by switching her passive to increase Size instead of Duration. It’ll be interesting to see if any of the tweaks in this next update will have similar impacts on gameplay.
Regardless, the Megabonk update will be exciting news for players, and if you’re a fan of the game, keep your ear to the ground for an official announcement in the coming days.
