Update [Sat 14th Nov, 2020 12:00 GMT]: The 'Hello to Arms' update is now available! Here are the full update notes along with a brand new trailer, courtesy of the game's publisher Devolver Digital:
Arsenal Mode: a new toggleable game mode in which weapons will be available as loot as well as for purchase in shops. Any number of these weapons can be held in addition to the Blessed gun, and can be used at any time. These additional carried guns have limited ammunition, which can be replenished by finding ammo pickups (exclusively in Arsenal Mode). This mode was designed to be more reminiscent of Enter the Gungeon’s gun management.

Shop Hubs: Bello’s shop has been expanded and now can be accessed twice per floor, allowing players more choice over when and how to spend their currency. This shop replaces the normal mid-floor room, in addition to its normal appearance after the boss. The shop has several doors to optional combat and NPC rooms that can be explored for loot or skipped. This should result in an overall increase in itemization for players who explore all rooms, as well as providing a source for weapon drops when playing in Arsenal Mode.
Other New Features:
A new optional boss, the Glocktopus
A new NPC, the Ledge Goblin, and her minigame
As is tradition, several new guns and items
You can now pet the dog
Original article [Tue 10th Nov, 2020 04:55 GMT]: The elevator action game Exit the Gungeon will be receiving a brand new update later this week. The 'Hello to Arms' update adds new guns and items, a new Arsenal mode, new shop hubs and much more.
This bullet hell dungeon climber will be arriving on Switch and multiple other platforms on 13th November.
This game, as you might already know, is the follow-up to Enter the Gungeon. In our review, we awarded the sequel seven out of ten stars and said it was a finely honed action-platformer that adds a new dimension to the blasting and dodge rolling in the first game.
Will you be revisiting this game later this week? Comment below.

Yes I will; it is fantastic. Glad to see the update finally dropping. The beta for it was a blast.
Dang I thought it was a update for enter the gungeon, I mean this is ok to Its just I don't have this game yet And I heard its was just OK and not GREAT. (Yes before you start riding up my butt about how the devs said fairwell to arms was there last update ever I KNOW I just thought maybe just maybe they wanted to give gungeon one last update)
This game wasn't quite what I wanted out of a 'Gungeon 2', but I still enjoyed it. Will definitely give this a look.
Hellllll yeah! I've been excited for this update for months now! Exit The Gungeon is actually a great game, but at some point I just won every run, which I definitely can not do in Enter The Gungeon. I'm so hyped for some more variety in Exit and can't wait to play it again!
I definitely can see myself dropping a lot more time into Enter the Gungeon again with winter coming. Can't get enough of that game. 100+ hours in on my Switch version and STILL have plenty to unlock.
Exit. I only played it for about 2 hours total, then totally forgot about. I love it for it's extension of the universe lore etc.
Though in my head I just saw it as designed for mobile (because it was announced at that Apple Arcade event before anywhere else). Plus the controls and gameplay seemed more disadvantageous.
I'll check it out again once this update comes though. It took a while for Enter the Gungeon to "click" with me and become the joyous addiction it was. So maybe I just didn't give Exit the Gungeon on Switch it's fair shake by comparison.
Very excited for whatever Dodge Roll Games has up it's sleeve for the future too <3
If they are smart they will make a top down game and just call it enter the gungeon 2 basically nullifying this as the sequel into being a spin off.
Loving that they care so much about their games! Enter is my most played Switch game and Exit is among the top 10 as well!
So is exit the gungeon even worth my time?
@Snatcher I'd say yes, but you should manage your expectations going into it. This began as an Apple Arcade exclusive, so the gameplay is greatly simplified and lost a lot of the randomized charm of its predecessor. It's still fun and still difficult, but it's more of a spin off than a sequel
@SwitchVogel Got it thanks.
