Update 5: Infinite Wisdom – Coming Soon!

In a couple of weeks or less, we’ll be releasing Pit People Update 5: Infinite Wisdom. The update will release in late September, so definitely check back in to get the full changelist when it goes out.

Here are just a few of the changes in the update: An entirely new challenging mode (Permadeath), a rebalance of the entire game to go with the rework of the new leveling progression numbers, ability to do the co-op intro online, faster PVP rounds, language translations, streamer-friendly music option, and more!

With the rebalance you’ll find that your fighters are dealing even more damage as they gain experience. All balance changes are retro-active meaning you do not have to worry about starting over or starting new characters in order to experience that – they’re all dynamically applied to what you already have!

The partial road maps:

Update 5 Road Map (Steam)

Update 5 Road Map (Xbox One)

As always, the main Story (although not included in this update) is being developed alongside all these improvements we have been releasing.

See you all in the Pit!

Pit People VO Spotlight: Ian Moreno

As we were fleshing out more voices, Ian and I had both felt that unique voices for each of the main story’s heroes would be a cool thing to try. Ian gave Yosef a shot and we all unanimously loved it. It’s got a really fitting vibe for him.


Yosef is a demi-clops, meaning he’s part cyclops and part man. His past is somewhat mysterious as is his present. Meeting Yosef for the first time can be unnerving to some players. He’s always at the ready and seems questionably okay with just about anything that occurs. One subtle joke in Yosef’s design is that he prefers ranged attacks and yet he clearly lacks the depth perception required due to having just a single eyeball.
