Game developer Dark Point Games is expanding the mythological chaos of Achilles: Survivor with a new content update, the biggest since its Early Access launch in early 2025. Known for their steady stream of engaging post-launch support–beginning with their action RPG Achilles: Legends Untold–the Polish studio now delivers a major new update for Achilles: Survivor, packed with fresh features, a blazing realm, and plenty of new faces for bullet heaven fans.
The 0.6.0 update delivers the biggest wave of new content and community-driven improvements yet. Players can now venture into the Mountain Fortress, a new volcanic realm filled with tougher enemy variants, lava-drenched environments, and the deadly cult of Hades. New gameplay features added include adjustable difficulty levels, including both an easier and a more difficult one from the standard, and 10-minute runs for every location. A new survivor also joins the fray, introducing Phalanx the Venomous Spider, joining the roster with speed, poison, power, and range. Two new bosses and two minibosses are also eager to say hello to your chosen survivor–challenge Talos, Agamemnon, a Stone Golem, and a Fire Plant.
Today’s content drop also introduces a new location goal, where you have to seal a massive rift pouring out elite enemies that are here to deliver you a ticket back to the underworld. Playing the new hard mode unlocks higher favour tiers and Divine Crystals, and major balance updates are set to keep late-game builds exciting. A myriad of quality of life improvements are also part of the update, including new ‘unseen’ markers, and more. 29 new achievements have also been added, as well as new pick-ups.
Achilles: Survivor has been steadily growing over the past few months. Across previous updates, the team has focused on game stability, boosting performance, fixing bugs, improving UI, and implementing key community requests based on feedback, like screen shake toggles, FPS limiters, and more. Cursor-aimed attacks were also introduced, and most excitingly, Dark Point Games has continuously added plenty of new enemies, survivors, champions, transformations, powers, and structures. The game also now supports Japanese and Korean.
Achilles: Survivor is currently available in Early Access on Steam for $4.99 USD / £4.99 / €4.99 and is featuring a 20% discount for a limited time. As the Dark Point Games team works towards the 1.0 launch, they continue to incorporate player feedback as they did throughout the development of Achilles: Legends Untold. Players can join the Dark Point Games community Discord for support and updates.
