PANICORE Patch Notes — December 3, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
PANICORE enjoyers!
Major Update 1.3 is now officially LIVE! 🎉
After a pretty smooth beta phase, we're excited to finally bring the full release to everyone.
As mentioned in an earlier post, the update went better than usual - for the first time ever, we had a supporting developer on board (credited in-game c:), who helped us a lot while we continued development on our Early Access project The Devourer: Hunted Souls.
Thank you to everyone who tested the beta and shared feedback. It really helped polish this update!
This will be PANICORE's last major update of the year and we would like to say THANK YOU once again for being such a great fanbase, for supporting us and for being excited about our updates. Throughout the years, we've met wonderful people online and even in real life, who love to play our games. It's a place we've never imagined to be and we'll always keep going for you guys. ❤️
Enjoy the map, have a nice & cozy rest of the year and happy horrors! 👻✨
Your two brothers at ZTEK Studio
