Sphere Fight – Odysseus Update on August 24th
The upcoming update will introduce a local multiplayer mode. You can now play all game modes with a friend on one PC. With the Steam Remote Play feature, it's also possible to play online with one of your Steam friends.
In addition to the cooperative modes, you can compete against each other in the "Best of 5" Versus mode in all arenas. In this PvP mode, you arm yourself using pressure plates scattered throughout the arena. The focus is on fast-paced fun and a healthy mix of skill and luck.
You will be able to conquer a new arena and then face a boss who doesn't quite follow the rules of his predecessors. Be prepared to see how this opponent will challenge you.
Another major change is the introduction of a powerful new power-up and the ability to combine your equipment. You can combine different power-ups as you like to create the perfect setup for your playstyle.
In addition to the new amplifier, there are three new passive abilities that will greatly assist you on your journey. To help you distinguish your sphere, especially in multiplayer, there are now several skins to customize your appearance.
By popular demand, there will an expert mode. In this mode, you'll face your opponents unarmed, without a time limit. Skill and, above all, a good character build are crucial for success.
Besides the campaign, the other game modes now also have a target score. With a newly introduced scoring system, you can try to achieve the target score in each game mode. Instead of a "Fail," you'll receive feedback on how well or poorly you performed.
The existing leaderboards have been expanded with a new one that saves your combined scores.
The update will be released on Monday, August 24, 2026.
