🏛️ BALL x PIT: Risen Ballbylon is out now on PC, consoles and mobile for $6.99 / £5.99.

⬆️ This Time, the Lift Goes Up
You’re used to the lift descending into the depths of the pit. In Risen Ballbylon, it’s going up instead, taking you high into the sky above.
Each new level reveals another layer of the former city, whose population has been warped by the effects of the meteor. Expect new bosses, new enemies and fresh mechanics designed to test even the most hardened veterans of the pit.
Rise above the abyss.
Kenny Sun and Friends and publisher Devolver Digital have launched Risen Ballbylon, the biggest and most transformative expansion yet for BALL x PIT. The roguelite mixes brick-breaking, ball fusion and base building, and it’s sold more than two million copies since launching in October 2025. It follows three free content updates, and unlike those, it’s a paid expansion. If you’re into Devolver’s physics-driven roguelites, the pachinko roguelite HYPERDROP is also worth a look.

🦸 A Few of the 8 New Characters
• The Sentinel can aim in any direction

• The Right Hand Man’s balls deal double damage when they hit the right wall, but only half when they hit the left
Balls to the Wall
⚪ New Balls and Passives
Highlights among the 24 new balls include the Beast ball, which latches onto enemies and damages them until they die, the Kaiju ball, which causes earthquakes, the Misfortune ball, which curses enemies, and the deadly, spiky Hedgehog ball.
The 45 new passives include Lucky Coin, Eldritch Gauntlet, Vampire’s Kiss, Volatile Explosive and Relentless Whip.
Base Instinct
Base building gets a big overhaul too, with 20 new buildings for your village. You can build a Floating Fortress, Crystal Monolith, Soup Kitchen, Circus Tent, Fission Chamber and other strange structures as you expand your base and mine for crystals, a new resource that adds extra complexity to the game’s economy.
