Beast of Reincarnation update 1.013, identified internally as version 1.1.02, was released on October 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X/S, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally. This update introduces requested New Game+ carryover features and addresses specific hardware rendering issues for handheld PC users.
New Game+ and Customization
The update expands the utility of New Game+ by allowing players to retain their progress across multiple playthroughs. Equipment, outfits, and skins now carry over when starting a new game cycle. Additionally, players can now customize Emma’s outfit at Campsites and through the Cleanse Walker Bed Menu.
Combat and Gameplay Changes
A significant adjustment has been made to the combat control scheme. The Guard input has been changed to a press-and-hold requirement, replacing the previous mechanic to offer more direct control over defensive timing.
Other gameplay additions and fixes include:
- Grow Chamber Growth Boost: A new feature in the Grow Chamber allows players to spend enemy defeat points to accelerate the growth of crops.
- Ranged Aiming Fix: Ranged weapon aiming reticles no longer drift significantly below the target when the aim assist feature is disabled.
Handheld Optimization and Progression Fixes
The 1.1.02 update provides a specific fix for ROG Ally users who experienced overexposed or entirely white visuals during event scenes and while viewing murals. This patch also resolves several critical progression blockers across three different chapters:
- Chapter 3: Fixed an issue where a boss would fail to register, halting progress.
- Chapter 10: Removed an invisible wall that prevented movement through the level.
- Chapter 11: Resolved a bug that caused the field to darken and obscure gameplay.
Players can verify the technical changes and file updates through the SteamDB listing for this version.
