Batomon Showdown Updates

Batomon Showdown is still in the launch window. berrymint scheduled the full Steam release for September 15, 2026, with Android planned the same day, and scheduled the public demo to come down on September 14, 2026 at 9:00am EST. This hub is the timeline and the patch shelf. Use release and platforms for storefronts, system requirements, and languages. Use patch notes for the Balance 14 numbers that silently kill old comps. Use Season 0 and the launch set for demo takedown, badge-case skins, and the 50+ Batomon set. Use Android and mobile for Play Store timing and the iOS delay.

Nothing here is a substitute for Steam news or the official Discord. We summarize. They publish. When a sentence disagrees, believe the developer post and then come back so we can fix the wiki.

Why launch week changes how you read guides

The demo taught the loop that still matters: untimed shop, six Batomon, saved-board fights, 10 wins, one Second Chance. The demo also limited you to the first set. The full game is advertised with multiple sets of 50+ Batomon, extra trainers, extra trinkets, extra events. If you learned on the demo, keep your habits and throw away your assumption that the 88-name catalog is complete. Getting Started stays useful. A June Shock VOD may not.

Server work happened in the days before launch (berrymint posted a temporary takedown at 3:00 PM EST to prepare). If matchmaking fails on launch morning, check official links before assuming your board is illegal. The game is online for search even though combat is asynchronous. A down lobby is not a single-player sandbox.

What we treat as current

Until a post-launch patch lands, this wiki treats Balance 14 / Steam build 24914580 as the live ruleset for numbers: Formiqueen haste 25/50/75, Craghorn $30, Shopkeeper 15 percent item discount, duplicators on non-unique trinkets, Poison no longer ignoring Shield, Shock-into-Shield reduced. Those bullets are unpacked on the patch page. They are why the comp list still talks Formiqueen, Berroon, and Plunderbird instead of a dead Black Feather multicast exploit.

Mobile is announced, not fully documented. Steam is Windows-only. No macOS, no Linux. iOS is later than Android. Save transfer between PC and phone is not confirmed. Do not write a guide that assumes your Master MMR rides over in your pocket. The release page keeps that caution in one place so other pages do not invent it.

How to read a patch as a player

1. Did a cost or cooldown change on a unit you actually merge? Update the shop plan, not your identity.
2. Did a trainer rework (Rich Lady, Berroon, Membership Card)? Reread the trainer guide.
3. Did matchmaking change (Dirgefin frequency, Master splits)? Reread how to play.
4. Did a tool item get removed (Black Feather)? Delete it from your brain. It is not C-tier. It is gone.

Then go play one Casual run before you take the new numbers into a ranked file. Ranks will tax an overwrite. Launch week is a terrible time to test Mad Scientist on a promotion.

What this hub will add after September 15

Day-one patch notes, set names, new trainers, and whether Android actually shipped with Steam. Until those posts exist, we will not pretend they do. The tier list hub will gain rows when the catalog gains rows. The tools hub will not sprout a fake code table — this is a paid auto-battler, not a redeem-code mobile game.

If you only open one update page this week, open release. If you only open one page because your Craghorn feels weaker, open patch notes. If you only open one page because you still cannot 10-win, skip this hub and go back to guides. Patches do not replace fundamentals.
