Screen Juice, the gaming studio behind the hack-and-slash roguelite Morbid Metal, released its 2026 roadmap for the title a few days ago, and there is a lot coming for players waiting to see what is next for the early access action title. Across the rest of 2026, the game will see four major updates.
The first major update arrives on May 21, 2026, and it already looks like a meaty one. This update will overhaul enemy systems, add new sub-biomes to explore, and bring a dedicated Steam Deck version.
That last part is big news for handheld players, especially since this does not look like a simple compatibility checkbox. A dedicated handheld build means the team is serious about getting the game to run the best it can on Valve’s handheld. Morbid Metal already ran decently on the Steam Deck, but more optimization is always welcome, especially since other PC handhelds could benefit from those improvements...
