Nevergrind Online news & patch notes

Season 6 will begin on July 24th at 6 p.m. EDT! We'll try to keep this short and sweet. Here are the planned changes:

• New early game crafted weapons designed for with each class in mind!

• New EPIC crafted weapons designed with each class in mind!

Possible changes:

• Some class adjustments may be made, but these changes will be lower priority and may possibly even happen after the start of season 6.

Sorry about the extra long season 5. We had to wrap up the release for Nevergrind!

778: Release Version 1.5.2

• Added historic leaderboards for season 4.

777: Release Version 1.5.1

• Streak mechanic has been disabled for season 5. I know this feature is somewhat controversial, but after trying it for a while I think it's a net negative. 🏂🏻

Season 5 will begin on January 9th, 2026! I know that it has been quiet on the Nevergrind Online front as of late, though we have been quietly working on future features and another project that some community members are aware of. In the near future, our top priorities are to release more crafting recipes, including class-specific items in the spirit of an "epic quest" type of item for all classes. An auction house is another major feature that we would love to add which would give the online economy an added layer of intrigue.

There will be no new features for season 5, so this reset simply offers a fresh start for current and returning players. Note that we are toying with the idea of removing the streak feature as many have commented on the "dark pattern" nature of such features, and I can sympathize with that sentiment.

We apologize for the sparse updates as of late, but we have been focused on converting the original single-player Nevergrind into a playable version on Steam. In fact, some community members have already played an early version! It is very completed, and playable in 4K, however it is still being translated for multiple languages. Look forward to its release in the 1st quarter of 2026!

Season 4 begins on September 26th, 2025! If you have been looking for a good time to jump in and climb the ladder, there's no perfect time than this Friday as the new season begins. The ladder will reset and all new heroes will begin at level 1 with a fresh economy! Note that all heroes' equipment and inventories will move to Eternal mode, but banked ladder items do not! Thus, you should retrieve all items from the bank that you wish to retain!

No new gameplay features are slated for the season 4 release, but we do plan to resume development on features that have been on the roadmap such as more crafting options and an auction house! Note that the season 3 leaderboard will be preserved just like season 2's leaderboard. In the future we plan to save hero leaderboards, but the account and guild leaderboards are not.

See you this Friday!
