Hi everyone!
We have some good news to share: Demonic Mahjong’s new free DLC, “Heatwave Carnival,” will officially launch on July 29!
We recently wrapped voice recording for all of the new characters appearing in the DLC.
For the Chinese voice cast, Zhenxin voices King Dushi and Dragonvine, Danaodai voices Mandra and Sweetie, and Dalu voices Monotropa and Lycoris.
For the Japanese voice cast, 青木陽菜 voices Sweetie and Mandra, 立石凛 voices Monotropa and Dragonvine, 生田善子 voices King Dushi, and 篠原なるみ voices Lycoris.
For the English voice cast, Melissa White voices Lycoris, Alexa Kaye voices Monotropa, Laura Lockwood voices Dragonvine, Kitty Jay voices King Dushi, Chloe Elmore voices Mandra, and Danielle Ferguson voices Sweetie.
(At the voice recording session in Tokyo)
At the same time, the scene art for the new DLC is also nearing completion. Today, we’d like to share an early look at some of the new maps and match scenes.
In folklore, this sweltering hell is ruled by King Dushi, one of the Ten Kings of Hell. Hidden deep beneath the sea, under the western Wojiao Stone, it is one of the most scorching and restless places in the underworld.
Building on that legend, our artist created the new maps and scenes around the theme of “a sunken city beneath the sea.” A ghostly metropolis swallowed by the ocean, and a hellscape where heat and dampness press together, will be one of the defining visual impressions of this DLC.
See you on July 29 in the free DLC “Heatwave Carnival”!
Hello everyone! The brand-new DLC for Demonic Mahjong, “Heatwave Carnival,” is now available for testing!
If you’d like to join the test branch, right-click Demonic Mahjong in your Steam Library, select “Properties” → “Betas” → “testbranch,” then wait for the game to finish updating.
In addition to the 6 upcoming new characters—Dragonvine, Sweetie, Monotropa, Lycoris, Mandra, and King Dushi—this test version also adds 42 Figurines, 18 Relics, 2 Treasure Tile Spirits, and 15 brand-new Patterns.
As the new DLC is still in development, some character models, animations, voice lines, and other content may have missing art assets or temporary placeholder assets. Thank you for your understanding.
If you run into any issues during the test, please go to \ → \ in-game and submit the details so we can investigate and fix them. Thank you for your support!
Regarding two questions many of you have been asking:
1) After the DLC is officially released, it will be optional content. There will be an in-game toggle, so you can choose whether to enable the new DLC based on your preference.
2) This update will not add any additional Steam achievements, but related achievements will be added in-game.
We expect the official version of the new DLC to meet you very soon!
Demonic Mahjong will reach a new historical-low 20% off discount on June 17! This discount will last until the end of the Steam Summer Sale on July 10!
In addition, our studio’s other game, Murders on the Yangtze River, is also currently at a new historical-low 40% off discount. Starting June 17, if you purchase the bundle containing both games, you can enjoy an extra 10% off on top of both games’ historical-low discounts!
Hello, everyone!
Today, we are revealing the third character from the brand-new free DLC for Demonic Mahjong, “Heatwave Carnival”!
In the previous update, we introduced the second DLC character: Dragonvine.
This time, we are introducing the third brand-new character: Monotropa.
Monotropa is a soul guide serving King Dushi, who governs “Indulgence” in the sweltering hell. She is always raising her wine glass, smiling as she invites others to drink, luring them into ruin amid clinking cups and flowing wine.
Her skills are:
Active Skill · Toast
Sell all your Tributes. For each Tribute sold, gain +3 extra Gold, and the Mult provided by this skill permanently increases by +5%.
Passive Skill · Refill
Can score. When scoring with a Straight / Straight Flush, randomly copy 1 Tribute. If you have no Tributes, randomly gain 1.
So far, we have revealed the first three characters coming in the DLC: Lycoris, Dragonvine, and Monotropa.
Three more characters will be revealed one by one in the future!
The brand-new DLC is coming this summer—see you there!
Hello, everyone!
Previously we officially announced that Demonic Mahjong will be launching a brand-new free DLC, Heatwave Carnival, this summer!
This DLC is themed around a summer beach party. The Flaming Hell, which should have been a terrifying place in legend, has been given a completely different look—molten fire lights up the night sky, heat waves become the beat, and a Mahjong-themed beach party is about to begin in full swing!
In our previous post, we introduced the first character coming in the new DLC: Lycoris.
This time, we’re introducing the second brand-new character: Dragonvine.
Dragonvine is a soul guide under King Dushi, responsible for “Lingering.” She greets everyone who approaches with a smile, yet before they realize it, she has already wrapped them in her grasp—never to leave again.
Her skills are:
\: Choose 2 tiles from your concealed tiles and turn them into random Mid Tiles.
\: Can score. When scoring, if the number of played tiles is ≥ 3 and every tile is a High Tile / Mid Tile / Low Tile, gain Growth: Mult +15%.
In addition to Lycoris and Dragonvine, there will be a whole lineup of new characters. We’ll be revealing them one by one in future updates!
Thank you all for your support of Demonic Mahjong! We look forward to seeing you soon in the brand-new free DLC!
Hello everyone!
Demonic Mahjong has started a historic low discount of 18% off from April 26 to May 6!
But beyond the discount, there is something even more important—
Since the release of the brand-new version The Snake & Horse during this year’s New Year, we’ve received a great deal of attention and feedback from players.
And today, we can finally make it official—We will be launching a brand-new DLC, Heatwave Carnival, in the middle of this year!
This update will once again be a completely free major DLC, with a total content volume close to one-third of the base game.
Heatwave Hell is the domain governed by King Dushi, one of the Ten Kings of Hell.
Legend says it lies deep beneath the ocean, under the scorched rocks of the western sea—the fiercest and most restless inferno in the underworld, where flames burn without end and even the air seems charged with scorching fury. But in the world of Demonic Mahjong, this fearsome prison of fire takes on a very different form—molten light paints the night sky, heatwaves pulse like drumbeats, and a mahjong-themed beach party bursts onto the scene!
We hope this new DLC will bring everyone a fresh and exciting new experience.
In this new version, we will be introducing:
6 brand-new characters
Nearly 40 brand-new Figurines
And one very important new gameplay mechanic
That’s right—in this version, you can even play poker with mahjong tiles!
In this new version, we will be introducing a crucial new gameplay mechanic: “Scoring.”
Unlike the traditional flow of “play tiles → wait → win → score,” the new version allows you to use Scoring during the play phase when certain conditions are met, based on specific tile patterns.
Those tiles will directly calculate multipliers and points, then immediately convert into rewards.
This means—
Scoring no longer happens only at the moment you win a hand.
For example: if you play 1 Bamboo, 2 Bamboo, 3 Bamboo, 4 Bamboo, and 5 Bamboo, then choose Scoring, those five mahjong tiles will form a Straight Flush and score according to that hand type.
This brand-new system will bring much richer and more surprising possibilities to both deckbuilding and match strategy. Whether you are a veteran player who loves digging into synergies, or someone eager to try fresh new mechanics, this DLC will offer a different kind of fun for everyone.
Of course, in addition to the new mechanic, several brand-new characters will also be making their debut in this DLC:
The first one we’d like to introduce is:
Lycoris
A soul guide under King Dushi, presiding over “desire” in the sweltering hell. Amid her revelry, everyone receives what they long for— until the price begins to be collected.
Her skills are:
Echo
Consume 15 Energy to choose up to 2 tiles from the top 30 tiles of your discard area and exchange them with tiles in your hand.
Siphon
Can score. When scoring with a Full House, Four of a Kind, Five of a Kind, Flush Full House, Flush Four of a Kind, or Flush Five of a Kind, absorb 25% of the opponent’s current score. If the opponent has no score, no Hu Slot is consumed.
And there is a whole lineup of new characters still to come, which we will reveal one by one in future updates!
At the same time, to support this new gameplay system, we have also added nearly 40 brand-new Figurines.
For example, the Figurine \, designed to work with the Scoring system, boosts your multiplier to 666% when you complete Scoring with 6 different hand types. Another example is \, which allows your wind tiles to provide a 150% multiplier when used for Scoring. Then there is the legendary Figurine \, which can turn 4 random tiles in your hand into \; when the \ effect is triggered, this Figurine can also grow stronger. And the \ series of Figurines has gained a new member as well: \, which can randomly hatch one of the Four Great Fiend Beast Figurines when you achieve the \ hand type.
In addition, starting with this version, we will also begin experimenting with separating DLC content from the base game, allowing players to choose whether to enable DLC content according to their own preferences.
We hope this brand-new DLC will officially meet everyone in the middle of this year.
We’ve also created a bundle with the roguelike strategy game Deadly Dice: Menherarium, where battling cute girls—and even cheating—is all part of the fun. Mahjong and dice gameplay brought by a cast of distinctive girls, combined with roguelite elements unbound by the rules (?)—this special collection brings both titles together. Purchase the bundle to enjoy an additional 10% discount on top of the current sale!

Hello everyone!
The long-awaited major FREE DLC for Demonic Mahjong — The Horse & Snake — is here!
Yes, you read that right. This is a large-scale FREE DLC!
On February 10, we’ll see you in The Horse & Snake — don’t miss it!
The Horse & Snake is themed around the Lunar New Year. “Snake” represents both the Lunar Snake Year that has just passed, and the Bamboo-focused playstyle in mahjong. “Horse” represents the coming new year, and in-game it also stands for Odd and Even tiles.As the name suggests, in this DLC, the Bamboo set receives a huge boost, and we’re also bringing many brand-new archetypes and strategies centered around Odd/Even tiles. Wishing everyone a joyful Lunar New Year and happy mahjong grinding!
I、7 brand-new characters join the roster!
Seven distinctive new characters arrive!They’re not only playable characters — each of them is also a powerful opponent standing in your way through the Underworld!
Wither
Wither excels at absorbing the opponent’s Mult.By claiming Chow, she can steadily generate Energy, allowing her to frequently use skills to reduce the opponent’s Mult while increasing her own.
Marionette
Marionette specializes in Triple Pung patterns.After achieving Triple Pung patterns such as Triple Pung and Mixed Terminal Chows, she can grant a large Tile Value bonus to the corresponding tiles in your Tile Pool. Her Active Skill can freely change a tile’s Suit.
Nightmare
Nightmare helps you fully utilize Energy. With her Active Skill, you can convert all Energy into Fan; and whenever you Discard, she also helps you recover Energy.
Temptress
Temptress is a character who specializes in Bamboo tiles.The more Bamboo tiles you claim as Chow within a single turn, the higher her Mult growth becomes. Her Active Skill can duplicate even more Bamboo tiles.
Day Warden
Day Warden loves Odd tiles.Her Active Skill can create many Odd tiles, and she also enjoys patrolling the Underworld — each time you enter an Unknown Event, she adds Tile Value to Odd tiles.
Night Warden
Night Warden loves Even tiles. Her Active Skill helps you Draw even more Even tiles; if you achieve an Even-type Pattern, she will grant you a Relic reward.
King Taishan
King Taishan excels at Kong.Her Active Skill makes it easy to complete Kongs. If you achieve Out with Replacement Tile or Olden·Double Flower, you’ll also gain rewards of Gold and Mult.
II、40 new Figurines added!
Nearly 40 brand-new Figurines! Around them, players can build entirely new archetypes and strategies! For example:
【Tao Wu】 After you Chow / Pung and then Discard, move the newly formed Sequence / Triplet back to your Hand Tiles. Tiles of the corresponding type gain Tile Value +5 for this game; it helps you break free from the traditional Chow/Pung playstyle.
And also:
【Hollow Egg】At the end of each round, there is a 3/5 chance it is destroyed, and you obtain 1 random Altar.(This Figurine counts as empty).
III、16 new Patterns!
In this update, we’ve also introduced a series of brand-new and fun Patterns! For example: as well as a series of Patterns related to the zodiac “Horse”, such as:
【Olden·Oddities Bloom】All tiles are odd-numbered tiles and contain Characters / Dots / Bamboos numbered 13579.
【Olden·The Man & Steed Surge】（Contains 4 sets of Character Sequences numbered 123, 345, 567, 789 respectively.）

V、A Lunar New Year theme look for Horse-face!
With the Year of the Horse approaching, everyone’s beloved Horse-face is also getting a brand-new Lunar New Year themed outfit!
Hey Mahjong Buddies, long time no see!
Since the launch of the Ksitigarbha update last October, we’ve been racing to develop new content. We’re also fully committed to the mobile port, controller optimization, and Steam Deck adaptation—soon you’ll be able to play mahjong across even more platforms!
First off, we’re excited to bring you a massive update in Q1 2026:
The Underworld is welcoming 7 new companions:
Minions: 4 Ghost Brides (Chilla, Misa, Wispie, Lila)
Elites: Day Warden, Night WardenYama
King: King Taishan
Around 30 brand-new figurines are joining the fray. These will not only strengthen the Chow/Pung, Suit Tiles, and Soul Power playstyles, but also introduce two fresh builds: Shuffle and Odd-Even patterns.
A batch of new relics will drop alongside them. These relics will not only amplify each character’s unique traits, but also play a pivotal role in different playstyle systems.
We’ll also be fixing the gameplay issues you’ve reported in the current version, and upgrading the overall smoothness of matches!
Let’s take a sneak peek at the new characters coming your way!
A Ghost Bride surrounded by mysterious butterflies. She can wield Soul Power flexibly with her skills, synergizes perfectly with Soul Power/skill-related figurines, and brings more varied strategies to the Soul Power playstyle.
A Ghost Bride draped in silk threads and holding a mask. Her skills let her freely switch the suit of her tiles, and she excels at utilizing tile values—she’s a huge fan of triple-suited patterns.
A Ghost Bride blindfolded and bound by a red cloth. For some reason, she only favors Suit Tiles, and can easily obtain tributes related to them.
A Ghost Bride dressed in a wedding gown, with an eerie aura surrounding her. She loves draining the life force of others; it’s said that those who face her are barely left with 10% of their strength.
Day Warden: Loves wandering the Underworld and experiencing all kinds of strange tales. Always alone, so she prefers the Odd playstyle—her power seems to grow stronger with every new experience.
Night Warden: A fan of the Even playstyle. Completing an Even pattern grants her extra relics, which give her a major boost during her nightly patrols.
King Taishan: Heard about the players’ feats and became interested in them. Specializes in the Kong playstyle, and is recognized as the "Kong Master" of Underworld Mahjong. He firmly believes in the mantra "Kong instead of Pung—Kong to turn the tide", with a fierce and domineering playstyle that uses consecutive Kongs to reverse the fortune of the game.
Besides the new characters, Demonic Mahjong will be available at a 15% discount—its lowest price ever—during the Steam Winter Sale from December 19 to January 6!
Don’t miss out if you’re interested!

Purchase the bundle of these two games to enjoy an extra discount on top of the individual offers!
Furthermore, we have also released a bundle in collaboration with Backpack Battles, another highly acclaimed roguelike game loved by players!

Ksitigarbha, who makes his debut in this new version, is not only an extremely majestic opponent but also an incredibly powerful playable character:
She has two distinct forms: “Blessing” and “Lotus.”
She can infuse mahjong tiles with special treasure effects, granting overwhelming multipliers and hand bonuses.
As a BOSS, she first appears in a solemn statue form upon certain conditions, and finally descends in her “Black Lotus” form in the last stage—accompanied by the dazzling “Cyber Hell” scene and an oppressive deck—becoming your toughest and most unforgettable rival!

More new characters, figurines, and relics—expand your strategic options.
Final secret stage—a "Hell Heart" challenge awaits the most skilled players! (Coming within two weeks of launch.)

Additional mahjong variants—more diverse battle modes.
Character stories & affinity system—deepen bonds with the underworld’s "ghosts."
