During yesterday's Nintendo Indie World Partner Showcase (the title keeps changing), Red Nexus Games' unique pachinko roguelike hybrid *Peglin* (Free) was surprise-launched on Switch. What flew under the radar was its simultaneous 1.0 release on Steam. After testing the Switch version (full review coming soon), I'm pleased to report *Peglin* has officially graduated from Early Access across all platforms - iOS and Android included.
This major update brings exciting new content:
- Completion of the Cruciball system with levels 17-20
- A challenging new forest miniboss
- A powerful rare roundrel relic
- Gameplay tweaks including dull peg mechanics
- Bestiary research adjustments
- Numerous balance changes
The full changelog is available via Steam's news section.
For newcomers, check out *Peglin*'s gameplay trailer:
While this marks the official 1.0 release, the developers have confirmed ongoing support with future updates. Having covered *Peglin* since launch, I'm eager to see how the experience evolves.
