Lucky Tower Ultimate News

Hey Adventurers,

We’re excited to announce that Lucky Tower Ultimate's first Early Access update, “The Cave” will be launching on November 5th, 2024 at 6pm CET / 12pm ET!

What’s coming in this update:

• The Cave
  
• More than 666 new voice lines
  
• 5+ new achievements
  
• Ultra Widescreen support
  
• New enemy: troll
  
• New village quest
  

What is The Cave?
The Cave offers an alternative way to escape the tower once you reach the exit door, allowing you to refuse Evelius’s offer and avoid the boss fight. This longer route out of the tower and into the Village will be a dark and atmospheric maze, visually reminiscent of Studio Seufz’s game The Longing. Companions can go insane in these tunnels, so be careful to keep morale high!

Here’s a first look at what to expect:









Have you exited the Tower in record time? You can now submit your Lucky Tower Ultimate speedrun escape times on speedrun.com!

There have been some incredibly fast escapes already from content creators, including:

• MadMouse - Escaped the Tower in 1 minutes and 38 seconds
  
• AlCorePlay - Escaped the Tower in 2 minutes and 11 seconds
  
• Elwycco - Escaped the Tower in 2 minutes and 50 seconds
  
• Nyah - Escaped the Tower in 3 minutes
  

Have we missed anyone? Think you can do can better? Submit your times on speedrun.com!

There is also a Lucky Tower Subreddit that’s been created, and we’d love if you started sharing your tips and tricks there as well.

Additionally, we're working to set up discounted bundles featuring Lucky Tower Ultimate together with other awesome indie games, coming this winter - so keep an eye out!

Thanks so much to everyone who’s been playing Lucky Tower so far and sharing all your feedback. We’re so excited for you to check out this new update, and we're looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the cave!
