Chained Beasts is due to receive a new arena with a boss, a new weapon and new enemies in version 1.1, planned for December. Featherweight Games then hopes to introduce PvP between friends in the first quarter of 2027.
December brings new encounters and a weapon
In its October 12 post, Featherweight Games sets out its post-launch plans, starting with additions to the game's combat. The arena and boss will provide another encounter to tackle, while the weapon will expand the equipment available to players. New enemies are also part of the same update.
That combination gives the December release a broader scope than an arena alone: it pairs new opposition with another weapon to use in combat. How much it changes players' approaches will depend on the design of those additions. The studio has announced a release month, rather than a specific day.
PvP between friends is the next target
For players waiting to challenge their friends, the relevant window is the first quarter of 2027. Featherweight Games says it wants to add PvP during that period, making this an intended milestone rather than a guaranteed delivery date. It sits beyond the planned December update in the roadmap.
The distinction matters when deciding which announcement to follow: the arena, boss, weapon and enemies are assigned to version 1.1, while matches between friends have their own later target. The roadmap describes different additions for those interested in more encounters and those looking for direct competition with friends.
The campaign also features in the studio's longer-term intentions. Featherweight Games wants to introduce new skills and afflictions to freshen it up. Those additions are discussed among the plans after version 1.1, without being assigned to a specific release.
Player requests will shape what follows PvP
After PvP launches, Featherweight Games plans to follow player requests when choosing further additions. The possibilities it names include extra acts, skills, afflictions, beasts, beast variants and cosmetics. These are ideas to explore, rather than a scheduled sequence of releases.
That leaves room for players to influence the game's direction after the PvP milestone. For now, December offers the clearest content plan; anyone chiefly interested in fighting friends should treat early 2027 as a development target.
