The 20210915 update for Nidhogg 2 was part of a larger effort by Messhof to revitalize the entire franchise. On the very same day, the original Nidhogg also received a free update, which added a new battleground called "Fields," a new "Permanent Blood" mode, and even some animated cats. This simultaneous release of new content for both games was a welcome surprise for fans, inviting them back into the world of the franchise.
When he launched the build, the familiar, garish neon palette of the game felt different. The music, usually a rhythmic, driving pulse of synth, sounded slightly off-key, like a cassette tape melting in the sun. The title screen didn’t say Nidhogg 2.

Fixed a rare crash occurring during screen-transition screen shakes.
