• DZR 2 Clarification: Sequel Timing, Free Demo, and Why Not DLC - 16 May 2026

  Hi all! We want to clear up some potential confusion: We’re announcing that a sneak peek demo is coming soon for Deadzone Rogue 2, not a full game release. Early access will not be until much later. Similar to DZR 1, we want to bring in players early on for feedback and to help us craft a better game. Next, we wanted to address the most common question so far: why make a sequel instead of paid DLC? Paid DLC limits how much we can experiment to create a great experience, especially with nearly a million players already owning and enjoying DZR 1. A sequel gives more room to explore bigger ideas that take advantage of the new environments, new story, new mechanics, and updated meta progression. The demo → Early Access → 1.0 process lets us test ideas, gather feedback, and iterate much earlier to create a better game experience for players. Launching an early sneak peek demo allows all play…

Fixed an issue that could result in a crash on map transition. Fixed an issue on Switch 2 mouse mode where interacting with equipment would cause a double input. Added MARK II pack as available for Xbox and PlayStation Appreciate the feedback from everyone! If you do see any other bugs you'd like to report, let us know anytime in Discord, in #feedback! All the best! Prophecy Team

• Released Several New Fixes Based on Player Feedback - 23 December 2025

  Version 1.1.13.0 Disabled the freezing mechanic on the Ice Guardian bot. Dev Note: The freeze attack was causing a new crash for console players. We have removed the freeze attack for now, while we work on a fix for the issue. In the meantime, the Ice Guardian will use a chilling attack instead that is safe. Fixed an issue where the codex could not be scrolled using a gamepad. Fixed an issue where Synergies would stop working. This was caused from using a synergy a certain amount of times over the user's playtime, then either respawning or coming back to a checkpoint. Fixed several miscellaneous crashes. Thanks for the feedback! We'll continue to keep an eye out for more improvements and fixes. - Prophecy Team

• Fixes based on Latest Feedback - Thank You! - 19 December 2025

  Deadzone: Rogue Release Patch Notes Deadzone: Rogue Version 1.1.9.0 Game Browser Removed the ping metric in co-op lobby browser. Dev Note: The ping metric was too intensive on the host of the lobbies and could cause poor co-op performance. We removed this feature so co-op players can have a better experience. Avatars Removed unlock requirements for the Lost to the Void avatar Dev Note: This avatar was granted for early access participation. It was accidently unlocked for everyone and then the requirement reset, locking people out of it. We decided to keep it unlocked for everyone to resolve the issue. Bots Lowered Vassal's time between attacks so he doesn’t idle as much. Vassal's tractor beam weakpoint exposed later (1.5s ->1.9s). Lowered Vassal's weakpoint exposure time (7s -> 5s).
