- Explosive Odds 1st Anniversary! - 21 September 2026
Explosive Odds Turns 1!!On September 24th EO was released on steam! The past year has been very exciting for us and the game has surpassed our expectations. We can't thank everyone enough for playing the game over this past year. Whether you joined events in our discord, shared your face creations, posted videos, or just played and enjoyed the game with friends. It means a lot to us! Ok, enough with the sappy bit (for now) and on to some birthday stuffs!Birthday CelebrationsThere will be a small birthday update with a new minigame only setting and fun in game decorations. This is just a small update for now, however we do have some plans for some very cool stuff in the future. But nothing is far enough along to give any hints or dates. So for now just stay tuned! In the meantime Explosive Odds will be a whopping 60% off from Sept. 24th-28th to celebrate 1 year! This is the biggest sale…
- V1.5.2 Polish + 9 New Abilities! - 14 August 2026
New Abilities, Polish, And An UpdateThis update adds a bunch of fun (and evil) abilities to Explosive Odds! These abilities are all a result of an idea contest held over in the official Discord! We got a lot of fun ideas and now we are up to a total of 30 abilities in the game. These new abilities are all a lot of fun and your friends will certainly hate you after you kill them with Reroute or make them cut 10 wires on their turn by stacking Multithread and Exploit. I added some of these new abilities to existing rule settings (mostly as minigame prizes), but to fully experience them I recommend cooking up your own twisted ruleset in the match settings.You may have noticed things have been a bit slower on our end in terms of new content for Explosive Odds. This is because we are officially working on our next multiplayer project! Unfortunately I have nothing more to share on it at the m…
- V1.5.1 - 24 June 2026
V1.5.1 Patch NotesNew Costume Random Purchase OptionThere is now a 'Random Costume' button in all unlocked shop tiers (except for Kingpin and DLC).Random Costume costs 40% less than the costumes in that tier.Purchasing will show a fun animation and give you a random costume within that tier.It is possible to randomly get a costume you already own, if this is the case you are partially refunded. The chance for this gets more likely the more costumes you have in a tier.This should give players a cheaper way to acquire new costumes! With the tradeoff you don't get to pick and possibility for duplicates. (Though you will likely only get dupes if you own most costumes within a tier).FixesFixed 'Addictive Personality' achievement not working.Fixed Joint costume having incorrect subtype.Some Finnish translation updates.
- V1.5.0 Decked Out! - 17 June 2026
The Decked Out Update Is Here!It's finally time for the major update all about customization! There are a lot of fun things in this update to give player's even more creative control over their bots. I have been joking that Explosive Odds is now a robot dress up game... But we hope you all have fun creating your dream bot. Plus we now have Steam Workshop for faces!! I have seen a lot of really great faces, so if you want to share yours with the world that option is now here. With the addition of blinking and custom face emotes you can get even more creative with it. We also added a bunch of new costumes from the winners of our costume suggestion contest we held in our Discord! See the patch notes below for the details on which were added and credits. In addition to the new content the game is now available in French and Finnish! Huge thank you to Mathieu St-Amour and B. Suorsa respectiv…

- V1.4.3 QOL Update - 24 April 2026
V1.4.3 QOL UpdateIn this update we have better steam integration, password protected lobbies, drawing QOL and a variety of other suggested tweaks and fixes. Before I get into the patch notes I wanted to say... WOW. The game got so many new people this past week it has been crazy! Before last Saturday our highest concurrent player peak was 29, and it hit 157, that is over 5x! So thanks for all the attention recently and we hope you have been enjoying the game. All the feedback and ideas have been really good and we are working on getting a lot of it implemented. Many features in this update were requested in the Discord! And about what I said last time with Another Round being the last major update... I think all these new players warrant some more content updates down the line. If you have been enjoying the game this past week please consider leaving a Steam review. It helps us out a lo…
- V1.4.0 Another Round! - 18 April 2026
The Another Round Content Update Is Here!There are a lot of neat features in this update and I am excited for everyone to try them out! Patch Notes Below! But first, I want to give a big thank you to everyone who has enjoyed Explosive Odds so far. And also a hello to all the new people. I know this update was long delayed from what was originally on the roadmap so apologies for that, life gets in the way sometimes. But it has been a lot of fun working on this game and seeing players enjoy it. We love to see all the gameplay videos, screenshots or faces you draw! With that being said, this is likely the last big update for the game as we are looking to start work on our next project. (And if you are interested in following along on that join our Discord). However, that doesn't mean there wont be a few small updates for tweaks or bug fixes. And I'm never going to take the game or servers…
