Town of Salem 2 news & patch notes

Townies, Over the past week, our servers were hit by a series of DDoS attacks that caused intermittent outages, disconnects, and downtime — including a prolonged incident starting July 28th. Our team worked around the clock with our hosting & security partners to investigate, apply protections & stabilize things.

Servers are back online & stable at this time We're continuing to work with our infrastructure providers on additional protections to help prevent this from happening again.

We know these outages were frustrating & we appreciate your patience. As a thank you for sticking with us, we'll be sending out a compensation package but we'll have more details on that soon.

Please review this list of Known Voice Chat Mode Issues below. You do not need to rereport any of these bugs. Stayed turned for information on the next ToS2 patch.

Known Voice Chat Mode Bugs:

- Pets do not follow players during transitions places

- When walking to the stand, sometimes you are slingshot straight through it

- Auto Wills don't display your role until you get your first feedback

- If RBed/Controlled on the night you die, it shows you as not targeting

- Ghosts incorrectly use proximity chat during trials, making them unable to hear anyone they weren't already standing next to prior to the trial

- Role changes in auto wills apply retroactively

- Can't target people as enchanter

- Horsemen, Stoned, and Hidden roles do not work with advanced mentions

- Being silenced also deafens you sometimes

- Able to text-chat whisper

- Able to send achievement, feedback, or prefix mentions in chat

Townies, We wanted to share that we have been & are experiencing unprecedented Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks that are impacting Town of Salem 2 servers. This is separate from the couple issues we faced immediately upon launching the patch live. We have been actively working to mitigate the DDoS attacks. Unfortunately, one of the security measures affects Town of Salem 1 mobile users. We are continuing to monitor & address these issues. At this time ToS2 servers are offline & ToS1 is not accessible through mobile platforms. We will continue to post updates & share information as soon as we are able to. Please keep an eye on official announcement channels. We appreciate your patience & understanding. Saturday, August 1, 2026 at 6:20 PM ET UPDATE: We are still working with our server partners to mitigate the DDOS attack. We appreciate your patience & understand how frustrating this is for everyone. We're also working with LootLocker to iron out the different methods we can utilize for providing various types of compensation to players for the downtime. The plan for the compensation for our most-recent previous downtime required extra tech so we restrategized & the distribution of that is still planned. Stay tuned for more information on server status updates + compensation updates.

Patch R1.5.14 - Introducing Voice Chat Mode! 📜🎉

Hey Townies! We're very excited to introduce the brand new Voice Chat Mode to Town of Salem 2. Enjoy a custom game mode that has been augmented to use only voice instead of text to communicate. Voice Chat Mode is only available to owners of the Deed to the Town who have Discord available in their region. This patch also contains several bug fixes.

Please review the patch notes below ⤵️

New Voice Chat Mode

Welcome to Voice Chat! This is an exciting new lobby-type that implements voice chat and a ton of core changes to the game. This lobby type is exclusive to owners of the Deed to the Town, and is currently available as a special version of Custom. Please note that it is only available for players who have access to Discord in their region. Voice Chat Mode Features:

• Proximity Voice Chat

  • This is the main way you will be communicating with other players during games

  • You will be able to hear and speak to any other players inside your Proximity Circle

  • Proximity Chat is enabled in the Lobby, Discussion and Voting phases

• House Locking

  • You can now enter other player's houses during the Discussion phase to talk privately with them

  • This feature has been implemented as a replacement for private whispers

  • You have a button on your hot bar allowing you to lock your house, preventing anyone from entering

  • Players may still freely leave a locked house, preventing you from trapping anyone

  • When the Voting phase begins, any players inside a house will be ejected

• Last Wills

  • Last Wills are now automatically typed for you

  • Only Town faction members will show their Last Will on death

  • We want VC modes to be fully playable without having to type anything on a keyboard, part of this meant removing the need to type your last will. We have zero plans to bring this over to text mode.

• Death Notes

  • Death Notes have been disabled in VC mode

• Phase Length Adjustments

  • The Discussion Phase is now dynamically paced depending on the number of alive players remaining in the game

    • 15-11 players: 75 seconds

    • 10-6 players: 60 seconds

    • 5-0 players: 45 seconds

  • The Night Phase duration has been shortened from 38 seconds to 26 seconds as players no longer need to spend time writing a Last Will or looking through previous Chat Logs

• Role Balance Changes

  • Various roles have received changes to work better in VC Mode, these changes are exclusive to the mode and do not affect Text Chat modes.

  • These changes are detailed below in the "Role Updates" category

We will be paying extremely close attention to feedback regarding voice chat, and have plenty of planned upcoming additions to the mode. We hope everyone enjoys this fresh experience!

Regular Game Updates:

• Added Discord Integration

  • You can now link your TOS2 account to Discord via the settings menu

  • Linking this will bring your Discord Friends list into your TOS2 friends list

  • You will be able to invite friends to your TOS2 lobbies through Discord

  • Your Discord profile will display more information about what you are specifically doing in TOS2

• Added 6 new Role Silhouettes:

  • Spy

  • Veteran

  • Coroner

  • Wildling

  • Lookout

  • Enchanter

• Added the "No Scrolls" Modifier

  • This modifier disables Scrolls & The Tome of Fate

  • This modifier is not available in Anomaly

• Enchanted players now have a status effect in the player list

• Player Numbers are now displayed on character nametags

• The Night + Role Reveal phases now skip the intro of the music if the phase is shortened to ensure the ending plays at the right time

• Added a new Summer Splash Art, this will show on the login screen from the 1st of June to the 31st of August

• The Attributes Icon will be replaced with the Necronomicon Icon if you are holding it

• The Necronomicon Tab has been removed from the rolecard

• The Quality Slider in settings now applies Anti-Aliasing, the strength of it scales from 1-5 based on the quality you choose

• Win Cinematics now include players who won separately, such as the Pirate

• Ranked mode has been temporarily disabled, it will be re-enabled in a future update alongside some improvements to the mode

• Various roles have received balance changes that apply *exclusively* to voice chat modes:

  • Jester

    • Chatterbox has been replaced with a Shufflebox

    • The Jester must now walk 20-30 silly steps (important distinction from regular steps) each day, or they will die of boredom

  • Wildling

    • Wildling can no longer spy on whispers, as they do not exist

    • Wildling has a new day ability named "Attune"

    • Attune allows the Wildling to listen to a player at full volume regardless of their distance, and regardless of them being in a house

  • Jailor

    • Jailor can hear their prisoner, but cannot speak back to them.

    • We are planning to either add a voice filter for the Jailor, a list of questions the Jailor can send in chat, or another solution in a future update. We are actively seeking feedback on this

  • Enchanter & Illusionist

    • Enchanter can no longer Alterate other players due to Auto Wills

    • Illusionist can no longer Disguise as another role due to Auto Wills

    • We are actively looking for an appropriate replacement/solution for this in the future

  • Voodoo Master

    • Silence mutes a player during the day preventing them from talking. The "..." message on trial will no longer be sent

    • The purpose of "..." was to show that the silenced player is not afk, due to free roam being enabled a silenced player can now run around to prove they are not afk

    • Deafen prevents a player from hearing others during the day, they will still be able to talk freely

• Fixed overcharged Oracle, Admirer, Monarch, and Arsonist not working

Patch R1.5.11 - Flexible Factions Update 📜🎉

Hey Townies! The Flexible Factions update is now live! This update brings multiple balance changes primarily focused on the Coven faction, the Anomaly modifier, gamemode updates, and a brand new roledeck mechanic called Flexible Factions.

Please review the patch notes below ⤵️

• Flexible Factions:

  • Roles and rolebuckets can now have their starting faction specified in the roledeck. This allows for countless new gameplay scenarios, such as a Neutral Apocalypse bucket in the Coven, or a Hex Master in the Town!

  • Only Flexible roles and role buckets can have their factions changed. All roles, except for Neutral Evils and Vampire, are Flexible. All rolebuckets that do not contain Inflexible roles are Flexible.

  • The available Flexible Factions are Town, Coven, Apocalypse, Vampire, Wandering Souls, and the role/rolebucket's default faction

• New Modifier: Anomaly

  • The Anomaly modifier adds random Modifiers and Bans at the start of the game

  • There will always be at least 1 Modifier and 1 Ban added

  • Each additional Modifier or Ban added is half as likely as the previous one

• Casual:

  • The total number of roledecks in the Casual mode rotation have been increased from 8 to 10

  • Two roledecks will now be rotated out every 2 weeks instead of only 1

  • We have updated almost every existing roledeck, check them out in-game to see what's different!

• All Any:

  • We will be testing a mixture of the Grace Period and Secret Killers modifiers in All Any over the next few weeks. Based on community feedback and gameplay statistics, either of these modifiers may become permanent parts of the mode.

  • A new All Any variant named "Anomaly All Any" has been added. This variant uses the new "Anomaly" modifier.

  • A new All Any variant named "Many All Any" has been added. This variant allows you to vote for which existing variant (AAF, TAA, AAA) you would like to play before the game starts.

• Coven Power roles are now mutually exclusive, meaning there can only be 1 present per game

• Hangover now grants Control Immunity

• The roledeck UI now features modifier, faction, and ban headers

• The roledeck UI will now resize to fit the screen as much as possible before needing to scroll

• Modifiers are now sorted alphabetically in the roledeck

Upcoming Change to Seasons:

• We will be moving away from the seasonal "Ranked + Content Update" structure soon. This means there will be no "Season 6" content update, but instead there will be titled content updates (Such as the "Flexible Factions Update").

• The Ranked mode will move to an independent ranked season schedule starting at Ranked Season 6

• Every 4-6 weeks (TBD!) Ranked progress will reset and the mode will move onto the next Ranked Season (Ranked Season 7, 8, etc.)

• There will be other changes made to the mode and progression alongside these, so stay tuned!

• Coven Leader Role Rename:

  • With the introduction of Flexible Factions, the Coven Leader can now start on any faction. Due to this, we have deemed its current name no longer suitable and have renamed the role to "Archmage".

• Archmage (previously Coven Leader) Rework:

  • Archmage now has infinite retrains instead of only two

  • Archmage can now only retrain other faction members into Common Coven roles, they can still retrain themselves into any valid Coven role

  • Archmage's defense has been removed

    • Silencing a player will prevent them from talking or whispering during the following day. A Silenced player will only be able to vote once per trial, and will not be able to switch or cancel their vote.

    • Deafening a player will prevent them from hearing any chat messages or whispers from other players during the following day. A Deafened player will still be able to talk.

  • Medusa will now start the game Stoned

Howdy Townies,

Wanted to give you all a quick update on our status as well as highlight some of the new things that you’ll start seeing.

The backend update itself was a bit rocky upon going live with server crashes & newly introduced issues/bugs, however we think we’ve got most of those issues sorted at this point with a few issues remaining (related to the Cauldron, cosmetics, F2P keys & a few others). The initial crashes were a combination of how the new backend was interacting with our servers + game code (some being unnecessary legacy code) as well as some oversights on our part. The good news moving forward is that we have enhanced logging & crash dump information for future issues which will help us analyze & resolve them in a more efficient way.

Over the past few weeks we’ve done a lot of backend optimizations as well as removed a bunch of legacy code that is no longer needed. Alongside those improvements, we’ve also increased our efficiency for calls back and forth between the game and our servers.

An important update is that with the new backend we have a much better system for data protection/security as well as reliability. Legally we have certain responsibilities with your information & data. However, we’re actually doing a lot more than the bare legal minimum in order to protect your data to the best of our ability.

We’re continuously working through support tickets via ModMail & the support email. If you have any issues please feel free to contact us so we can assist.

An exciting new feature we’re debuting soon is our new in-game news tab thanks to LootLocker. This allows us to host a news hub within the game home screen to alert players of news, updates, and more in a more integrated way, in addition to our current messaging going out via Discord, Steam News or Social Media.

Other new things are all mostly backend support and in-game efficiency that may not appear all that noticeable to players, but we're monitoring the data speeds related to the number of active players & seeing significant improvement which decreases strain on our servers going forward.

We're also hard at work on the next content update for the game! This brings multiple reworks and balance changes focused on the Coven roles, and the brand new "Flexible Factions" roledeck mechanic. Stay tuned for more information!

Thank you greatly for your patience & understanding.

See you in Town,

Lance, Executive Producer at Digital Bandidos

Hello Townies!

We have applied some adjustments to the Town of Salem 2 servers. We've done all of the testing we are able to do internally, so our next step is to set the game servers live & see how they behave in the live environment. This is NOT an all clear notice that everything is for certain stable. NOTE: It is possible that servers crash again or other issues may crop up. If there are significant issues we will likely take the servers offline again & investigate all of the new information we have collected. Servers will be going live to the public for testing at approximately 12:45 PM Eastern We request that you post all issues during this testing time within this Discord thread. Please make sure you have joined the Discord server & you have the Town of Salem 2 role.

Remain respectful & follow Steam's posting guidelines as well as our pinned board rules. You are not required to participate in this live testing. Any players are welcome to wait until we give an official all clear notice regarding the issues. We appreciate your patience while we are sorting out these issues. - Digital Bandidos 🦝

Howdy Townies,

Lance here, sharing some important updates for Town of Salem games.

Over the past several months, we’ve been focused on a range of behind-the-scenes improvements aimed at enhancing the overall experience. The process has required rethinking how core gameplay translates to new control schemes, more player options, and more communication options. While this has presented challenges, we’re committed to ensuring the experience remains intuitive and engaging across all currently supported devices as well as future devices. For now, we can say that the console versions of Town of Salem 2 will not be coming out in 2025.

We’re also working hard on new ways to connect you with more players via other platforms. We will keep you posted on our progress so stay tuned for more announcements on the horizon, but in the meantime, we hope you all have an amazing holiday break.

Please note that the Digital Bandidos team is on holiday for the remainder of the year after today. We'll still be checking in periodically.

See you in Town,

Lance, Executive Producer at Digital Bandidos
