What shipped on September 11th
Based on community reports and the Residence Massacre Miraheze wiki, the following changes went live:
Anniversary event officially ended
The Anniversary 2026 re-run event that began August 28, 2026 has concluded. The following items returned to limited or locked status:
| Item | Post-event status |
|---|---|
| 4 limited Anniversary badges | Locked again — check Badge Tracker for availability windows |
| Anniversary hats | No longer purchasable from the Coins Shop |
| Milestone Party Hat | Remains available in the Coins Shop as a standard item |
| Party modifier | Remains active as a standard Night 1 modifier (rework August 28) |
Quick Play feature added
A new Quick Play button or option has been added to the lobby creation flow. This allows players to jump directly into a match without manually configuring night, modifier, and player count settings. Quick Play uses default or matched settings based on current lobby population.
Revamped lobby creation UI
The lobby creation interface has been redesigned for clarity and ease of use. Changes include:
- Cleaner layout for night and modifier selection
- Improved player count controls
- Streamlined Quick Play access point
- Better visual feedback during lobby formation
Flashlight Battery UI improved
The Flashlight Battery display has been made more accurate and readable:
- Battery percentage now reflects actual drain rates more precisely
- UI positioning or visibility improvements during night gameplay
- Better differentiation between battery states (full, medium, low, critical)
No changes to night gameplay
This patch is strictly UI and QoL focused. Night 1, Night 2, and Night 3 retain their current difficulty, modifier pools, and spawn rules. The Coins economy, Hat Shop, and Badge Tracker availability windows are unaffected.
