Cointinue Games has announced a major update for its idle RPG Deadline Savior, scheduled for November 4, 2026. The version 0.6 Mercenary System update will allow players to recruit up to two mercenaries to form a three-member party alongside their Hero, building a team of adventuring companions through shared focus sessions, leveling, and battles. The update extends the game's loop to mercenaries, allowing them to level up together with the Hero and receive stat bonuses based on their Loyalty and Class. Players can choose companions with different Classes, ranks, and skill combinations at the Mercenary Corps, and adjust their skills and positions to develop their party and plan tactics. The update also introduces Satiety consumption, requiring players to pack extra food to take the whole party farther. Deadline Savior is currently available in Steam Early Access with 97% positive user reviews and an average playtime exceeding 100 hours.
