BALL x PIT is Breakout with a town to run, and Devolver Digital says its new expansion, Risen Ballbylon, is out now for $6.99. It launched on November 12, 2026, on PC, Xbox, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and mobile. You will need to finish the base game first, because the Steam page says the new content opens only after that.
In the base game the lift takes you down into the pit. This time it is “going up,” as the store page puts it. You climb toward Risen Ballbylon, a floating city, and each level is a layer of the old city, home to people the meteor changed.
The numbers are big for $6.99, starting with four new battlefields, each with its own boss, and more than 40 new enemies. There are eight new characters, including the Sentinel, who can aim in any direction, plus 24 new balls and 45 new passives. The balls have names like the Beast, Kaiju, Misfortune and Hedgehog.
Back at base you get 20 new buildings, among them the Floating Fortress, Crystal Monolith, Soup Kitchen, Circus Tent and Fission Chamber. Crystals are new too, a resource you mine that feeds the base economy. If you rushed through the town half, the crystals give you a reason to slow down.
Game Informer described the base game as a mix of roguelike, bullet hell and town-building simulation, which is the more formal way of putting my comparison. It came out on October 15, 2025, reached Nintendo Switch 2 on October 28, and arrived on iOS and Android on March 12, 2026. Devolver now puts sales at 2 million copies. That is a long way from the more than 300,000 it sold in its first five days, or the million it passed that December, according to Wikipedia. The studio credit reads Kenny Sun and Friends. Wikipedia names Sun as director, designer and programmer, and Amos Roddy as composer.
If you rolled the credits on BALL x PIT, $6.99 for 24 new balls is an easy yes. If you have not, the expansion will wait for you, and you can find both on the game's site.
