Dead as Disco news & patch notes

Welcome Back! We've had an amazing first month for Dead as Disco - okay, six weeks, but who's counting? - and the response to the game has been phenomenal. The 97% “Overwhelmingly Positive” review score is a badge of honor for us, and we're working hard to live up to your expectations. We just released Update 1 which brought the original song “Versus,” powerful new elite enemies, custom challenge playlists, selectable dance moves, new cosmetics, and a stack of new challenge modifiers so you can bring your own beatdown and keep this party going.

To celebrate, we're putting on an encore performance and bringing back the 20% off launch discount for three weeks! The sale starts today, June 18, and runs straight through the Steam Summer Sale, ending on Thursday, July 9. We could have gone deeper - plenty of games do - but that would mean charging our day-one supporters more than people who join up later, and that's not our style.

If you've had us on your Wishlist, this is a second chance to jump in. The Tour's rolling, and it's only picking up speed.

Thank you again for all of the love and support! - The Dead as Disco Team

Hey Disco Crew!

Your words: "When's the next update?" Our Response: Right now! A New song, New arena, New enemies, New Cosmetics, New dance moves, Fresh leaderboards, and a ton of other improvements!

This is our first big needle drop since we launched Early Access a month ago. Built from your reports, your feedback, and your frankly unreasonable high scores. The first two hotfixes warmed up the crowd, now it's time for the headline act. In addition we're celebrating with an extended 3 week sale. We will be bringing back the 20% off launch discount starting Thursday June 18th 2026. The party will roll right through Steam Summer Sale and end on Thursday July 9th 2026. Now onto the details for first stop of our Summer Flames Tour!

New on the Setlist

"Versus" by Dex takes the stage! Beat the new Versus Challenge to unlock a new record, and the brand new Mind's Eye arena. Clear it with 2 stars or more and there is a new outfit with your name on it. One Challenge, three rewards. Get in there and mix it up!

Fresh Faces in the Pit

Elite Surging Echoes have joined the Tour, and they did not come to be polite. Harder to hit, and packing new moves of their own they're here to shred. Yes, you can spawn them in Custom Challenges. Yes, we want to see what you do with that. The Versus Challenge also debuts Super Armored Enemies, extra health, zero flinch they will be a much tougher nut to crack. We haven't added them to Custom Challenges yet, but they will be next update. Tell us how they feel. We're listening.

A Step Up for Custom Challenges

We've written a love letter to everyone bending Custom Challenges into beautiful nonsense:

• Challenge Playlists are live. String Challenges together, Normal, Custom, any order, and see how many you can take down back to back. Works just like Free Play Playlists. Build the gauntlet. Break your friends. (Send us the clips.)

• Tunable Modifiers. The new Mods section lets you dial in your Challenge: enemy damage multipliers, enemy health, Fever bars, Takedown tokens, Fever generation speed, hearts, and max caps on all of it. Your rules. Your fight.

• Arena Swapping is back in Infinite Disco! You can swap dynamically in Free Play on a round count, a hotkey, or on Takedowns. Creators, this one's for you!

Enjoy the new toys, and let us know what you want to see next...

Bust a Move (On Purpose)

We've added Dance Moves to the cosmetics menu, where they can be unlocked and assigned to one of 4 inputs (1–4 on keyboard, d-pad on controller). Leave a slot empty and Charlie will rock a random unlocked dance instead. Is there a move that kills your groove? Then just remove it from the rotation via the cosmetics menu. Some moves from the old random pool now need unlocking, but we've added a bunch of new ones to chase too. Key bindings for Dance Moves have also been updated so the Pause screen and Move List now match.

Fresh Slate, Cleaner Boards

All of the leaderboards have been reset. With the gameplay changes in this update, everyone starts from zero, and we've increased anti-cheat protection, because you told us the boards mattered and we agree. The race for the top starts now. We've also added a setting to hide leaderboards entirely if you just play for the flow.

Tuning the Mix

Balance changes drawn straight from how you're actually playing:

• Singularity: damage after launch reduced; flat score bonus decreased; full-charge time increased; score is now awarded on black hole release rather than on reaching charge level

• Fever Meter: Fever gain from perfect inputs reduced; deflecting projectiles now grants Fever

• Tap Bass Invader now hits twice

You Reported It, We Fixed It

• Fixed Charlie not picking the correct counter when blocking a punch from his right side, thanks Ryze for the Discord report!

• Fixed Dex escaping bounds in the final phase of his boss fight (he's contractually obligated to stay)

• Fixed Hemlock ending up under the floor and occasionally refusing to transition his arena in phase 3

• Fixed enemies spawning outside the playable space in Infinite Disco

• Fixed enemies ending up airborne or above Charlie on perfect counters

• Fixed the Bass Invader change sound persisting after getting hit

• Fixed bridge transition sync in Dex's level

• Fixed a hiccup in Shield Guard's counter attack animation

It Just Feels Even Better

• New air juggle animations hitting airborne enemies is now as satisfying as it should be

• New quick get-up animations when knocked back and dodging in time

• New Meteor kick animation

• Charlie's ranged attacks flow better with smarter clockwise/counter-clockwise rotations

• Security guard baton slashes are more visible; pick-up FX for hearts and hidden objects pop more

• Objects blocking the view on Hemlock's platform now properly dither

• Lighting quality and optimization pass on Prophet Boss phases 1 and 2, plus updated car flyby sounds and more honk warning variations

• Repositioned the Finisher indicator and Health Bar

Access(ible) All Areas

Backstage at The Encore

• Jukebox DJ Cappy bobs to the beat (as is right and proper)

• Hemlock is no longer a broken record about the lack of Power Juice

• Idols do a lot less moaning and groaning in general

• Fixed a minor visual bug with the Encore's ceiling fog

Auto-Pause (Because Life Happens)

New settings to auto-pause when:

• The game loses focus or the in-store overlay opens

• The platform UI overlay opens

• Your controller disconnects mid-set

The Full Set List

• Slight redesign of the Custom menus in Infinite Disco; arena variations now listed directly in the arena list

• Fixed needing to exit and re-enter Infinite Disco to see newly unlocked arenas

• Removed stray blue dots near the border of the Green Screen arena

• BPM now displays with 2 decimal places everywhere it should

• Advanced Song Editor: beat offsets no longer incorrectly apply to custom BPM sections; setting Tempo now carries through to My Music on initial add

• My Music: fixed deleting a currently playing song; fixed re-added missing songs sometimes not saving to disk; fixed issues adding songs in the full game after adding them in the Demo

• Fixed DLSS quality mode being stuck on Auto when navigating left to right

• Frame Rate Limit (On Battery) no longer stays active while charging

• Fixed the game losing focus when tweaking Button Glyphs with a controller

• Fixed a Free Play bug where popups disrupted the system menu stack

• Correct controller "Back" prompt now shows when rebinding keyboard keys with a controller

• Fixed the "Failed to retrieve data" typo on leaderboards

• Turned down the Fever Bar full sounds in the mix

• Lighting adjustments across various levels and arenas

• Adjusted Arora's second-quest repeatable lines for clarity

• Widescreen support fixes, text spacing/wrapping adjustments, dialogue tweaks, and localization fixes

• Added an option to opt out of anonymous telemetry

• Various UI/UX improvements, particularly in Custom Challenges

The Summer Flame Tour has just started. Drop your feedback on Super Armor, Elite Echoes, and arena swapping, this is Early Access done properly, and your reports shape what comes next. See you at the next stop! - The Dead as Disco Team

We are in our 2nd week after Early Access launch and are excited to bring you our 2nd hotfix!

Gameplay

• Fixed issue where occasionally a perfect dodge wouldn’t be considered as such when dodging Arora’s meteors. The red indicator should now also be more helpful and consistent. If you felt like this attack was unfair sometimes — you were right.
• Fixed issue where Arora’s meteor and Prophet’s car throw could occasionally land instantly.
• Fixed issue during the Arora Boss where being at the edge of the arena can cause the meteors to miss the platform and the indicator will blink forever.
• Fixed rare issue where players could get stuck inside a falling meteor from Arora.
• Fixed issue in Dex’s level where it’s possible to get stuck floating on the edge of a platform after a Mosher attack.
• Adjusted the timing on Dex’s intro to not be as awkward (and show a random floating heart).
• Fixed issue where Charlie could get stuck and fall through the destroyed bridge in Dex’s level.
• Prophet should no longer get stuck out of bounds near the edge of the arena in Boss Phase 2.
• Fixed some sound effects not playing in Prophet, Arora and Dex levels.
• Adjusted sound effects for when the Fever Bar reaches full.
• Updated Shocked tooltip to include that enemies take extra damage when hit while Shocked.
• Fixed a bug where bosses could have missing indicators.

Infinite Disco

• Added a separate tab for Free Play vs Custom Challenges. Added an initial panel to select which mode to start with. This was to address feedback that the experience could be clearer.
• Free Play songs now have heart drops from enemies. The Free Play experience is intended to be easier (like the demo), and Challenges are where to go for a more challenging experience.
• Free Play songs now have Leaderboards.
• Fixed issue where the shuffle checkbox UI could become inconsistent with the actual playlist shuffle state.
• Fixed issue where restarting Challenges during the countdown causes the next countdown to start earlier.
• Challenges - Gravitational Pull challenge objective now works for any level of Singularity charge (not just max).
• Challenges - fixed an issue where Match Made in Heaven was awarding Fans instead of Points at certain thresholds.
• Dead End Drive arena: the crowd shouldn’t invade the playable space anymore and should dither on low-medium settings.

Accessibility

• Added color blind settings in Video > Settings.

New Challenges

• There are 2 new Challenges to play: Complex Situation and Studio Smash Hit.
• Complex Situation has you rush to complete 7 Takedowns while weaving in Heavy Attacks. Unlock the new “God Complex” arena on completion.
• Studio Smash Hit has you focus on mastering the Showstopper ability. Unlock the new “Studio Speakeasy” arena on completion.

General

• Level Select - Levels now show a brief description for the selected level. Story levels show the highest scores and stars.
• Level Select - Changed the names of the difficulties from Easy/Normal to Chill/Amped and added descriptions about the differences. This was done after watching players automatically select Normal instead of an experience that fits the type of gameplay they want. The goal is to make the differences clear so players can select what is best for their playstyle.
• Fixed issue where Dex was playing some of Hemlock’s VO.
• Prophet’s hood should no longer clip into his head during the finale cinematic.
• Fixed sound effects on some transitions.
• Adjusted the tutorial to have the player do more of each action.
• Reduced the amount of work during the initial benchmark and Auto-Set in Video Settings. This should solve rare issues where players were getting stuck here.

Localization

• Fixed Ukrainian difficulty names so they fit correctly and no longer overlap on the level select screen (should be fixed for real this time).

Hey Disco Crew!

We have been blown away by all the positive reception and support we’ve received from our players! Dead as Disco has an 95% Overwhelmingly Positive review score globally, and it's sold over over 200k copies in less than a week. This is absolutely mind-blowing, and it's all thanks to you! We've spent the last week watching player streams and reading feedback, which has helped us narrow down key issues so we can respond to them quickly. This included fixing Hemlock issues we'd never seen before and stack of custom challenge issues we discovered thanks to the crazy things players have been building with them. On Monday we rolled out Hotfix 1, fixing over 30 items directly reported by players.

Check out the full Hotfix 1 Patch Notes here:

We are going to continue that quick response time with another hotfix planned for next week, followed by a fuller patch in June.

Hotfix #2

The next hotfix will be focused around Free Play and Challenge improvements, With over 30 unique songs Free Play has a ton of content for players to experience, so we're focusing on making Free Play more chill and inviting (like the Demo) while challenges continue to offer players, well... a challenge.

• Adjustments to Stage Select to give players more information about each stage and what each difficulty entails. Now you’ll actually know what the differences are!

• Reducing the amount of friction for getting into Free Play

• Leaderboards are returning to Free Play songs!

• Heart drops will be added to Free Play to make the experience more chill

• Arora’s meteors are still a pain in the butt. We’ve got a couple more tweaks there to make them feel better

• Some new arenas and challenges! Even with our focus on fixes, we still want to make sure we are putting in some new content as well - even in a hotfix

• Bug fixes - yup, plenty of these!

Then in June, we’ll be looking at a larger patch that’s more feature/content focused. Things to look out for in that patch:

• Selectable Dances feature. The current Dance Move randomly selecting a dance was always a stopgap. We’ll be introducing the ability to select which dance you want and multiple control bindings so you can style the way you want. Of course, there will be some new dance moves to earn and collect as well!

• Challenge playlists. We’ll be giving you the ability to string together challenges back to back to create your own Challenge playlists. We are excited to see what sorts of custom craziness y’all come up with!

• More mods for Custom Challenges. Custom challenges is an area that we will continue to improve with each and every patch. We’ll keep adding more - and we want to hear what you want!

• The return of Arena Swapping. Players from the early demo and playtests will remember the ability to dynamically swap arenas that we had to remove due to a number of issues. We are bringing this back!

• We’ll also introduce a totally new song and arena with this update, so keep your eyes open for more info on that

• Accessibility improvements. One goal for us during Early Access is to continuously improve accessibility. We’ve gotten some feedback from you and we’ll be taking our first step on improving this.

• Of course, plenty of bug fixes and balance adjustments

And this is just all the stuff coming in the short term! You can check out our roadmap here:

As we move into Summer, you’ll start hearing more about the next Idol and all the great new content coming in the leadup to their reveal.

It’s worth noting that our roadmap is intentionally flexible so that we have the ability to respond to what we see from our community. We are always looking at our bug reports, Discord, streams, etc to determine what are the most important things for us to address next. So please keep it coming! We appreciate all your support and can’t wait to keep making Dead as Disco better for you! <3

Kytsu (James)

Executive Producer

Hey Disco Crew!

Welcome to Dead as Disco Early Access! Thank you so much for jumping on the bus with us. For those of you already in the Discord, you know it’s already been a wild ride over the last year. So many playtests and patches, and so much feedback! From advanced beatmap UI polish to late night balance suggestions, you have already helped to shape this game so much.

But now it’s time to buckle up, because the road to 1.0 will be glorious.

Each season of patches is themed around a music festival, containing multiple update patches along the way. The Summer Flames Festival kicks everything off, with 3 major stops:

=====

May:  HOTFIXXXS

=====

Update 1 – June

Our first update brings major additions to Infinite Disco and My Music. Highlights:

• Custom Challenge Playlists linked to My Music

• The return of Arena Swaps (new and improved)

• Selectable Dances so you can customize your flow

• New Arenas, Challenges, and Mods

• And tons more

With every update, you can expect quality of life improvements asked for by you, as well as balance changes, ability improvements, narrative additions, and a list of additions too long to mention (honestly, I really can’t stop the team sometimes).

Update 2 – Midsummer

Midsummer turns up the heat with a major expansion to our rockstar wardrobe options, a wave of fresh memorabilia & collectibles, and a few summer surprises. We’re also planning to pair it with a mid-season balance and abilities pass based on your feedback.

Update 3 – Boss Idol Finale!

We finish out the summer with an XL patch dropping our first new Idol, along with everything you’d expect: full music video story level, new killer music, skills and signature ability, enemies, narrative, collectibles, fashion, and additions to the UGC tools.

Fall, Winter, & onto 1.0

Our Festivals will continue into the Autumn holiday season and through the depths of Winter, revealing new Idols as we go. With each festival we gain a clearer understanding of how close we truly are to 1.0.

We currently plan to launch 1.0 in 2027, with a massive launch patch focused on refreshing the experience for everyone, infusing the game with final secrets, and delivering the final narrative arc.

Along the Way…

Many Early Access features are bigger than any single patch, so let’s call them out: 

New Idols / How Many Idols Are There? We haven’t confirmed the full roster of the band formerly known as Dead as Disco, but 4 of them are the Boss Idols available at early access launch.

Difficulty, Challenges, & End Game. These items will be added in pieces through many updates. New enemy variants, mods, enemy behavior, level patterns, and true hard mode are among the many pieces we will release over the course of early access. But the final end game battle against Harmony Corp (and true ending) will be saved for the 1.0 release.

Co-op Multiplayer. This is a big one, and we won’t release it until it's ready. Our Beat Kune Do gameplay introduces a lot of new multiplayer problems to solve. Our goal is to add even more spectacle without sacrificing the flow that makes the gameplay so special.

Even More Music Coming. More licensed music, more covers, more streamer safe originals – the hits just keep on coming! We have an incredible year of music lined up for you. 

Skill & Abilities. We’re just getting started. In addition to the new skills and signature abilities introduced with every new Boss Idol, we’ll be revising and expanding the existing skill trees over early access. The skills have already benefited tremendously from player feedback, and we don’t plan to stop now. 

Leaderboards. As we listen to feedback and tune the game, the competitive landscape will naturally change, so we will employ a “Leaderboard Seasons” strategy. The names of the winners of each season will be saved in the community (and hopefully the game one day) so they can be celebrated properly before resetting the Leaderboards for the new season of balance.

Narrative, VO, & The Encore. The game will have full VO, but currently VO is limited to the story levels and tutorial. VO will be added to The Encore – our dive bar and music club hub – over time. New narrative arcs will be added as each Idol is revealed, but the final story arc won’t land until 1.0. 

Replay, Editing, and Photo Support. We want to give our creators the ultimate tools to capture every moment and angle of the violent kaleidoscope. Photo mode will arrive sooner than replay, because replay functionality is linked to many of the same issues as multiplayer and will take time.

Automatic BPM Detection for My Music. We’d love for you to pop in a new song and for combat to “just work”. We’re looking into solutions, but for now you’ll still need to manually calibrate the beats per minute when you add songs. 

More Mod Support. We have been blown away by the modding of the demo, and will continue to keep the game moddable during Early Access. We are also looking into the best way to support mods more officially, whether through a third party integration like mod.io, or something in-house. For now, it’s safe to say that we can’t wait to see what you do with the game, and we look forward to providing even more.

Additional Accessibility & Calibration Settings. Due to the vibrant nature of the game, we need to pay special attention to accessibility to keep Dead as Disco enjoyable for as many folks as possible. We also have to do it for two genres that both demand a lot of accessibility and calibration options: rhythm & action. But the good news is that Early Access is the fastest way to get the feedback we need to improve our settings. (Special call out to those of you waiting patiently for on-press attack options – it’s on the list)

And So Much More...

Thank you again for all the support and feedback that got us here, and for all it will take to get us to 1.0. It’s going to be a year to remember. 

See you on the dance floor!

-Will Cook

Hey Disco Crew,

May 5th is right around the corner and we have some new announcements to share, including pricing and how you can get your hands on Dead as Disco’s killer music.

Early Access Pricing

Pricing & Packages

Early Access launches at $24.99, but for two weeks, it’s 20% off at $19.99!

(And pricing will be regional, as requested)

We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the support of our early adopters, so the launch discount is meant to reward our day one fans with the best deal possible–the price won’t go lower than this until long after 1.0.

Speaking of 1.0, joining Early Access means you’re getting everything we add along the way. Every boss, balance patch, My Music update, and more, is yours automatically. 

We’re also launching the official Dead as Disco Soundtrack across most major music platforms, so you’ll be able to get all our killer music whatever way you like best (more details below). 

If you’re a true superfan, we’ve bundled the game and streamer safe soundtrack. The price depends on the platform, but it’s on sale for around $25 during our launch (regional pricing will apply here too).

Where to Buy

In order to get Dead as Disco to as many players as possible we are partnering with Steam, Green Man Gaming, Xsolla, and the Epic Games Store. This will allow us to make the game available globally wherever you normally buy games.

What about the Demo?

We’re keeping the demo available for free for those who would rather wait for 1.0 but still want to crack some skulls on the dance floor.

Albums & Music Streaming

Let’s talk about music! Many of you have asked us how you can get your hands on our sick beats, and do we have some good news for you! We will be releasing two versions of the soundtrack alongside the game’s launch.

Dead as Disco, Streamer Safe Soundtrack Vol. 1

With the launch of Early Access you will be able to buy the streamer safe version of the soundtrack directly alongside the game. This studio recorded album will contain all 15 Original Songs as well as 5 bonus tracks, and a slew of themed wallpapers (See some of them in this post) for your PC or Mobile device. 

Cover songs and licensed music will not be included in the streamer safe album, due to how music licensing rights are handled. The streamer safe album will be priced $9.99, but for two weeks will be discounted 20% to $7.99 (localized to your region.)

“One Night Only”, Dead as Disco’s Radio Play Soundtrack Vol. 1

We will be releasing the 27 track soundtrack to all digital platforms including Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, iTunes and many more! No matter how you listen to music you should always be able to get your Disco on! This release will include both the Original Music as well as the Cover Songs. The prices for Singles, Albums, and Streaming will vary depending on retailer but will be in line with what you’d expect to pay from these platforms, including any of the free streaming services and platforms.

Why do you have two albums?

It’s a long story, but the simple answer is, Licensed Music rights are pretty complicated. Our goal is to support artists who partner with us, so we can bring you all some more amazing collaborations in the future. As a result we need to distribute any licensed music through traditional music retail channels and pricing structures. 

What about future music?

Volume one of the soundtracks are stand alone albums, but we’re excited to keep sharing our music with all of you! As new songs are released we will be adding them to streaming services ASAP. Once we have enough new music, we will assemble additional albums and release them. This means you can expect a full standalone vol. 2 album to be released alongside the 1.0 launch, with additional songs.

Supporting our Creators

Our creators have been a large part of our success, so we wanted to do something to give back to them. We will also be launching an Affiliate program with the launch of Early Access in partnership with Xsolla. Creators can sign up for the program and once they are accepted they will be given their own custom shop & links for Dead as Disco, and we will share 25% the revenue with you. Over time we’ll continue to do more for our Creators, hopefully expanding these programs to offer other incentives like platform Integrations, drops, unique in game creator rewards & More! So get out there and support your favorite Dead as Disco creator!

Bring the noise!

Thank you all for coming on this ride with us. None of this happens without you showing up, playing, breaking things, and sharing what you thought. We can’t wait for you to jump into Dead as Disco on May 5th!

• The Dead as Disco Team

Hey Disco Crew!

A little less than a year ago we revealed Dead as Disco, a game focused on bringing to life a combat fantasy shared by so many of us: Brawling to the beat of your favorite killer track. Since then you all have helped us crank the volume to 11! Playtests, bug reports, discord feedback, and all the comments, messages, and viral clips have helped shape the game into what it is today.  

Your feedback is at the core of our development process, which makes Early Access the natural next step. We can’t wait for you to join us for the journey ahead, starting with the Launch of Early Access on Tuesday May 5th! The Opening Act…

For the past year Hemlock has taunted you from atop his speeding train, well we say NO MORE! It’s time to crash some concerts, are you up for the challenge? Hemlock - A former punk rocker who sold out the revolution, Hemlock now serves as Harmony Corp’s number one enforcer, unleashing his vandalism-prone fans on a whim.

Arora - Engineered for global domination, Arora is a next-gen AI pop idol customized just for you…based on personal data Harmony Corp promises it doesn’t have.

Dex - Dex is a cybernetically enhanced guitar god hardwired into Harmony’s grid, shredding endlessly in pursuit of perfection.

Prophet - Rapper, producer, and kingmaker—Prophet birthed a thousand careers. Now he buries them for Harmony Corp. … and “The Encore” Defeating your former bandmates is only the start of the journey. Restore “The Encore” music club, and collect unique memorabilia to help you piece together the mystery behind Charlie Disco’s death and return. While you're hanging at the club, you can also... Unlock each Idol’s unique boss ability & skill tree, channeling fan energy across 30+ skills (and counting). Style your own look with skins, accessories, and animations to unlock The Hits Keep on Coming

So stay tuned! We’ll be announcing more of the 2026 Early Access Tour stops soon!

Excited? So are we! We can’t wait for you to play and tell us what you think! See you on May 5th! - The Dead as Disco Team

Hey Disco Crew!

Welcome to the official Dead as Disco Demo Patch Notes thread.

This post will be continuously updated throughout development and serves as the central hub for all demo-related changes. Whether we're fixing bugs, improving combat, polishing visuals, updating localization, or introducing new features, you'll find the latest information here.

The Triple-i Initiative has announced its return on the 9th of April at 9am PT/6pm CET, and we’re excited to share that we will be revealing something there!

The show is only back-to-back trailers of games from other studios like us - all in 45 minutes - with world premieres, gameplay reveals, launch dates, demo drops and more. There's no hosts, ads or sponsors – just games!

It'll be streamed on Youtube , Twitch and right here on Steam.

You can watch the announcement trailer below, or check out https://iii-initiative.com/ for more information.

That’s all for now, hope to see you at the show, it’s gonna be fun and we’re excited to show you more of what we’ve been cooking!

Hey Disco Crew!

It’s been a minute since our last update, and we haven’t been idle… Over the past few months we’ve been heads down focusing on building out more of the game, and we’re excited to start sharing more of that progress with you all.

Turning up the Volume

We know we’ve been quiet for a while, but now it’s time to turn up the volume again. This developer update will be the start of a flood of new information about Dead as Disco. We’ll kick things off with a small but mighty feature… introducing THE BEAT METER! That’s right the beat meter will be coming to our next demo update! Ok, that’s obviously not enough, how about a peek at the Idol boss fights instead? This is just a taste of all of the great content we have lined up to share; from content teases to in depth BTS videos about the game. We’ll also be doing more Development Blogs, AMAs and other community activities across all of our social channels. All of this will be kicking off in April with…. 

The Triple-i Initiative 2026

Dead as Disco is coming to the triple-i initiative! Tune in on April 9th @ 9am PDT (Noon EDT / 6PM cest).  We’ll be kicking off the next phase of development with a big announcement, as well as sharing a preview of all the great stuff we’ve been hard at work on over the past few months.

Playtests

Want to check out all of the new goodies in person? Sign up for the Playtests! We’re continuously playtesting the game and your feedback has been invaluable. Our next closed playtest will kick off during the week of March 30th, and we’ve got even more playtests lined up for April! 

What about the Demo?

Over 1.2 MILLION players have busted a move on the infinite disco’s dance floor. This is a hard act to follow, so we’re not going to try… We’re happy with the amount of content, and the experience that the Demo gives players, but there is still room for improvement. With our next Demo update we’ll be bringing the demo up to the latest and greatest build of the game. The update will bring more polished graphics, improved performance, smoother combat, and a ton of quality of life improvements (like the beat meter). We’ll also be updating the Demo to be localized in 11 different languages, bringing the joy of Disco to even more players! We’ll be dropping the new version of the Demo right before the triple-i announcement on April 6th.

That’s a Wrap!

Thank you all for supporting us and loving Dead as Disco as much as we do. We’re excited about the road ahead, and we’re looking forward to all of you joining us on that journey!

See you on April 9th!

Hey Disco Crew,

The tour bus is revved up, the setlist’s locked, and August is about to be a showstopper. We’re rolling into Gamescom, cranking out fresh demo updates, and lining up new playtests all while keeping the groove alive with your feedback. So grab your backstage pass and let’s dive into what’s next for Dead as Disco.

Dead as Disco @ Gamescom!

The tour bus is packed and we’re taking this show on the road! Dead as Disco is coming to Gamescom August 20th to 24th! Come see us at the Firstlook Festival booth in the Indie Games area - Hall 10.2. This is your opportunity to meet the Developers and get hands on with the latest game update. We’ve even got a special surprise in store for players that challenge Hemlock and emerge victorious!

We can’t wait to see you at the Show!

July Demo Update Feedback, We Hear You!

July’s update brought new features, bug fixes and balance changes to the game. The response so far has been fantastic. It’s been exciting to watch what players have created using Arena swapping & playlists, and we’ve received a ton of really great feedback. Dead as Disco is still very early in development and we’re constantly trying out new things! Our goal is to have buttery smooth music-matched gameplay that works with any song. It should be easy to pick up and play, but also provide depth for combat masters. You'll see us continue to refine and experiment in pursuit of this goal, and we fully expect there to be ups and downs along the way. Most importantly we want YOU to be an active part of this process! Feedback is the lifeblood of any great game, so keep it coming! We’re constantly observing the Steam community posts, Discord discussions, and Demo reviews. We’ve already made some adjustments internally based on your feedback, and we’re excited to hear what you think once we roll out the changes for playtesting!

Playtest update - August and beyond…

We’re not taking our foot off the gas! After we get back from Gamescom we’ll be dropping a brand new playtest for our Closed Alpha participants! Bug fixes, balance changes, and a new story level to try out.

Not in the Closed Alpha? Fear not! We will continue to update the Demo with balance changes, and infinite disco updates as they are ready. We’re also working on a plan for larger Open Alpha playtests later this year. In the meantime enjoy this sneak peek, coming soon to a playtest near you!

That’s a wrap for August! We’ll see you on the Gamescom floor and in the thick of the action. Stay sharp, stay stylish, and keep it Dead as Disco. And hey, if you want to swap tips, share feedback, or just hang with the crew, hop into our Discord, we’d love to have you. -The Dead as Disco Team

July Update - Playlists and Arena Swaps

After two successful playtests (thank you all!), we’re rolling out a fresh wave of features, fixes, and improvements to the Dead as Disco Demo! Let’s break it down

Infinite Disco Feature: Playlists Playlists are now supported in Infinite Disco! • Create your own set of songs to fight through back-to-back • Simply select “New Playlist”, name it, and then start adding songs with the plus button next to each song • Multiple playlists can be created and saved • Playlists can play in song order, or the “Shuffle” option can be selected to get a different experience each play

Please let us know what other features you would like to see for playlists!

Infinite Disco Feature: Arena Swapping A variety of new Arenas are now available in Infinite Disco for players to experiment with. We can’t wait to see what crazy stuff y’all do with this!

Arenas: • Disco Floor (default) • Bubblepop • Astral Waters (each with 2 different color variations)

Choose how you want these arenas to appear during the run: • Static – select a single arena that stays active during your whole song/playlist • Swap Every – every 5 or 10 rounds (selectable), the arena will switch to a different random arena • Swap on Hotkey – press V (keyboard) or R3 (controller) to swap to another random arena (future updates will offer more control) • Swap on Action – swaps whenever a takedown is performed (more triggers planned in future)

🎥 Special note: A Green Screen arena is available for those who want to make silly videos (only available in Static mode, not part of the random pool)

Combat Changes • New Enemy in Infinite Disco: The Fallen bots will start a self-destruct sequence when they become stunned. When they explode, they do small damage and knockback in a small radius around them. NOTE: Effects on the Fallen are still WIP • Some enemies are no longer automatically put in a stunned state at the end of a non-perfect counter. This was done to make non-perfect counters a bit less rewarding and give some more noticeable differences in enemy types. For those used to the way it functioned in the previous playtest, it may take a minute to get used to. Please check it out and then hit up the feedback form to give us your thoughts! • The Stardoll Sniper attack timing is now 1, 2, fire (previously was 1, 2, 3, fire) • The red “dodge” indicator is now over their heads for consistent messaging and to help folks who aren’t as strong at feeling the music’s rhythm • Standard Security Guards now have a fast counterable attack in addition to their dodgeable attack • Fixed an issue where Charlie would always get a perfect dodge when mashing dodge during another animation. Charlie now no longer can get perfect dodges from mashed inputs

UI Updates • Moveset sync counters are now denoted by a yellow star (previously was a green circle and skull icon - which caused confusion with takedowns) • Offscreen attack indicators now exist to show direction and timing of counterable and dodgeable attacks. There is also the option to turn on indicators for non-attacking enemies. They will show as grey dots. These can be turned toggled in the settings. Attack indicators are on by default, non-attacking enemy indicators are off by default • A simple health bar now appears over the currently targeted enemy. This is something we are trying out in the playtest and would love your feedback. It makes it a bit easier to know when an enemy will be KOed and helps to avoid unnecessary missed attacks that can end a combo. This can be turned off in the settings • Targeting indicator is now an X instead of a dot

New Songs in Infinite Disco • Maniac (Punk Version) – A punk cover of everyone’s favorite • Killa Music – Expanding Dead as Disco’s rap selection • Neko Neko Let’s Go – 194 bpm of pure saccharine

Other Changes • Infinite Disco enemy balance has been tuned therefore the Leaderboards have been reset • R3 on controller used to be Dance Move. Dance Move is now up on the D-pad for controller • General visual polish in Hemlock’s level and Infinite Disco • Fixed an issue where the camera could get stuck sideways when moving it very quickly • Fixed an issue where strong attack outline and gamepad vibration weren’t getting cleared after Charlie gets knocked out • Fixed issues where the camera could get under the playable arenas • Fixed an issue on Stardoll Sniper lasers that made their hittable area appear shorter than it really is • Many other small improvements and bug fixes!

Let us know what you think, especially around playlist features, combat flow, and the new arena swapping options! Your feedback helps shape Dead as Disco. Join our Discord to be part of our Community and sign up for our upcoming Playtests! Thank you for your support! - The Dead as Disco Team
