Lucky Tower Ultimate News

[p]Adventurers! Get ready to return to Evelius’s Tower with a new friend (or foe) by your side! Update 3 will launch on June 16 2025, at 6pm CET / 12pm ET.

Here’s what you can look forward to in Update 3:

[/p][h3]The Princess[/h3][p]The Princess will be a new companion/enemy hybrid that can be found in the tower.

Winning the community vote for the new companion in March, The Princess can start out as an enemy disguised as a regular princess... but she can be convinced to join the party.

Her loyalty is tied to her hunger. Upon devouring corpses or characters, her mood will improve, and she will eventually join the party and become a companion. But watch out - she'll get hungry again, and she may turn against Von Wanst if she isn't properly fed.

The Princess devours most enemies upon contact, including sleeping monsters, bees, and hammermen.

[/p][h3]Peasant Mode[/h3][p]We are introducing difficulty modes with this update, starting with the Peasant Mode. As you can guess from the name, it's an easier difficulty for those who are not yet ready for the knightliest virtues. It makes the game easier, but some Steam achievements will not be attainable when playing as a peasant.

This new system means we will be able to introduce more difficulty modes sometime in the future, so stay tuned!

If you're eager for a harder mode, let us know what you’d like: More floors? More or harder traps? Less items? Something completely different?

[/p][h3]Auto Hand Switch[/h3][p]Update 3 will include the much requested option to turn off the current "auto-hand-switch." Meaning that Von Wanst will not automatically switch his hands when you grab something.

And more:[/p]

• [p]New achievements! (Some which can't be achieved in Peasant Mode) [/p]
• [p]25 New items and voice lines [/p]
• [p]Steam trading cards[/p]
• [p]Female Randos in the town [/p]

[p][/p][p]If you'd like to play the update now and help test it, you can download Update 3 via the public beta branch on Steam from today! Join the Studio Seufz Discord server to share feedback and bug reports. Achievements and trading cards will be unlocked on the 16th.
