Gloomwood Patch Notes — February 22, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Back from Hightown already, Doctors?
Well good... there's a new store in the market district you may want to see!
Take the new portal from Hightown back to the Market district.
And head on over to The Prime Meridian.
You can pick up some new maps while you're in there...
But what's that? You couldn't even get to Hightown because you never got the seal from the Hive?
Focus, Doctor! We've now made it impossible for you to miss.
And I'm willing to bet the same people who missed the seal also missed the fact that you can quicksave!
Well now you can choose to enable quicksaves when you start a new game, you don't even have to go into the options menu. How about that.
For those of you who have been to Hightown, we heard you didn't think the Constables posed enough of a threat?!
Well now they've been, how should I say, BUFFED. Good luck with that, Doctors.
You can also now spawn them from the developer console.
Wonder how many Constables it takes to kill 10 Goatmen.
Only one way to find out...
Gloomwood and The Stealth Trilogy will be on sale all next week as part of the New Blood Anniversary sale so head on over if for some reason you don't own all our other games already!
And to celebrate we've even got some brand new Gloom Merch, Doctors!
Scarves? Lamps? Desk mats? Art prints? You're always asking for more things to buy in the shop, eheheh
