Praise Dead

Praise Dead launched on December 5, 2023 and has received a steady stream of developer-driven content updates ever since. Three major updates have shipped post-launch: v1.1 (January 26, 2024) added a full meta-progression system and a new necromancer; the Demonology Update (April 23, 2024) added demon parts, a new NPC trader, new demons, and weapons; and v1.3 "Gates to Purgatory" (July 6, 2025) added an entirely new endless mode, 11 new relics, and 16 new events. That last update was followed immediately by two more feature patches in July 2025, with the most recent developer communication on July 27, 2025. Critically, the v1.3 release post closed with an explicit preview of what's coming next: a rework of the ritual levels to make them less linear, further relic graphic updates, and a hint at new spells. This confirms the developer considers the game to still be in active content development with a clear next focus area already identified. The update cadence — roughly every 3–6 months for major releases, with smaller patches in between — has been consistent since launch, and we are approximately 11 months past the last major release as of June 2026, which is within the range of the developer's established pattern.
