Megabonk Guide: Characters, Weapons, Bosses & Update Status

Updated October 22, 2026 · Patch covered: Megabonk v1.0.69 (Feb 4, 2026), still the latest on Steam as of Oct 22, 2026

Megabonk is a 3D survivors-like by the solo developer vedinad, released on Steam on September 18, 2025 for $9.99. You run, jump and slide around a large map while your weapons fire on their own, pick a weapon, tome or stat upgrade at each level-up, open chests for items, and beat three stages per map before a final boss. It is single-player only. The latest patch is v1.0.69 (February 4, 2026) — see update status.

Megabonk at a glance

Developer / publisher	vedinad (one-person studio)
Released	September 18, 2025 (Steam)
Price	$9.99 US list price
Platforms	Windows and Linux on Steam; Steam Deck support announced Feb 2025

How a run works

Maps and tiers: Forest (default), Desert (reach stage 2 of Forest Tier 2 as CL4NK) and Graveyard (added Dec 14, 2025). Each map has Tier 1–3 difficulty.
Stages: three stages per map, with timers of about 10, 9 and 8 minutes in the player guide we checked. Bosses appear around 7:00 and 2:00 left and when you activate the exit portal; when the timer ends the Final Swarm starts.
Build: up to 4 weapons and 4 tomes. Weapons attack automatically; tomes raise one stat each (Damage, Attack Speed, Projectile Count…). Items from chests stack passive effects.
Final boss: the stage 3 portal leads to the final boss, which takes away your weapons except the starting one and returns one per phase (patch v1.0.4). Details on the bosses page.

Is Megabonk still getting updates?

Not recently. The last patch is v1.0.69 on February 4, 2026. As of October 22, 2026 there has been no patch for more than eight months, and no next update has been announced on Steam. That is not an official end of support — the developer has never said development stopped — but there is no public date for new content, multiplayer or a fourth map.

Before the gap, updates came quickly: balance patches every week or two after launch, then three content updates in six weeks (Spooky, Christmas, Hats).

Sep 18, 20251.0 launch — Release on Steam with 2 maps (Forest, Desert), 20 characters and roughly 80 items.
Sep 28, 2025v1.0.7 — Balancing; Kevin no longer gives invincibility. Developer: "I definitely wanna try to add multiplayer down the line".
Oct 8, 2025v1.0.12 — Leaderboard and anti-cheat fixes, harder Final Swarm, Chaos Tome rewards +50%. Multiplayer and more maps listed as future 'major stuff'.
Oct 19, 2025v1.0.17 — Full map with fog of war, particle opacity slider, DX12 option, Chaos Tome double-luck bug fixed.
Dec 14, 2025Spooky Update (v1.0.41) — New map (Graveyard), new character, new weapon, items, enemies and bosses; Shrine Counter setting; late-game FPS work.
Dec 25, 2025v1.0.49 Christmas Patch — Wizard's Hat (a Pot for tomes), easier Graveyard achievements, Fox and Clover changes, Kevin moved to Epic rarity.
Jan 25, 2026v1.0.64 "H A T S" — 21 hats, save recovery from Steam achievements, buffs to Vlad, Robinette and Spaceman, crit upgrades for Bone and Shotgun.
Feb 4, 2026v1.0.69 hotfix — Latest patch on Steam as of October 22, 2026.

The developer had promised "regular updates after launch" (Jul 31, 2025) and listed multiplayer and more maps as future major work (Oct 8, 2025). We will update this section when a new patch ships.
