| Update Slightly Delayed – But the Beta Build Is Live! | 2025-05-09 | Hi everyone, I’ve decided that the recent big update is too unstable to release in its current state. This came to light for me after a more rigorous round of play testing. However, I didn’t want to leave you with nothing, especially after promising something for the 10th. So I’m putting part of the build into SEA (Super Early Access). You can find instructions on how to join the SEA testing here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2965660/discussions/0/4515507601682535093/ So, when will the full update come out? I’m still targeting May. I apologise for any frustration caused. I want to make sure the update really delivers and at the moment, it’s |
| Update Coming | 2025-04-29 | **EDIT** See this post: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2965660/view/541105143669589708 Hi All, Thanks for your patience while waiting for the next update. Just a quick post to let you know that it's on the way, and we're aiming to have it ready for May 10th! Apologies for the delay - it's a larger update than usual, so we've had a few more issues to iron out along the way. I’m really looking forward to everyone checking out all the new additions! **EDIT** I've amended the title and the text to avoid confusion. This post was announcing when the next update would be - before it could have been read as if the game was being released. |
| Patch 14.11 | 2025-02-03 | Just a quick follow up patch to improve the new enemy. Patch notes: - Can now scare them off and kill them with what trees fear most - It is now more stable when player bodies are picked up - Fixed various other related bugs |
| Patch 14.10 - Planting trees is good for the environment 🌳 | 2025-02-01 | Hello everyone! Apologies for the lack of updates. I’m still working on the larger release I promised. As many of you know, game development isn’t easy and sometimes life stuff gets in the way. By my count, there’s still a little time left in January (North American time, at least), so I wanted to get this smaller update out to you. As I haven't been able to dedicate as much time as I would have liked, I want to thank you for your continued patience. Thanks again for your continued support of PILGRIM! This smaller update includes fixes, quality of life improvements and even a new enemy. The bigger update is still on the way, but please manage |
| Patch 14.8 - A Small but Festive Update! | 2024-12-03 | Hi everyone! I wanted to update you on the progress of Pilgrim. While I wasn’t able to release the larger update I’d planned for November, I’ve made a smaller update to swap out the Halloween theme for some festive Christmas visuals! 🎄✨ The new target for the big update is mid to late December. If we happen to miss that window, rest assured it will be ready by January. Thank you so much for playing and supporting the world of Pilgrim! I’m really excited to share the big update with you all when it's ready. |
| Patch 14.7 - Halloween Update 🎃 | 2024-10-24 | Hey everyone! It’s been a little while, but I’m back with a small spooky season update.

| Patch 12 - They look like us... | 2024-07-30 | Hey everyone! Thank you for the continued support of Pilgrim! It's still amazing to watch so many people experience the game and get so much enjoyment from it ❤️ This update took a little longer than expected—I had to do a big overhaul to get a new version of the interaction system in place.
