The next major update for Pursuitcore is slated to introduce Sunstring as a playable User, a crossover collaboration with PWND BY 14, character selection screen improvements, and targeted reworks for Terminators like DotX. While developer TamaCorp has not published a finalized calendar date for this release, developer sneak peeks and community leak coverage have confirmed multiple upcoming features and combat adjustments.
Pursuitcore is an asymmetrical survival Roblox experience where a team of up to seven Users attempts to repair generators, fuel escapes, and survive against a deadly player-controlled Terminator. Here is a breakdown of everything previewed for the upcoming update.
New User Spotlight: Sunstring
The headline addition for the upcoming update cycle is the introduction of Sunstring, a brand-new User teased across developer announcements.
Sneak peeks have confirmed key mechanics regarding Sunstring's kit:
- Flight Ability: Sunstring features an aerial mobility skill that allows them to take flight across the map.
- Carrying Teammates: Sunstring can pick up and carry another User while airborne to ferry them away from danger.
- Vulnerability: While carrying a teammate, both Sunstring and the passenger remain vulnerable to Terminator attacks.
Terminator Adjustments and Ability Reworks
Several Terminators are scheduled to receive moveset replacements and mechanical balance overhauls to address chase pacing and counterplay.
DotX Rework
DotX is receiving substantial changes to their passive kit and counter abilities:
- Red Ring Ability: DotX's fake counter is being replaced with a Red Ring mechanic. When active on a User, it drains one health point per second.
- Passive Speed Overhaul: DotX will no longer gain passive speed boosts freely; extra movement speed is tied strictly to dealing damage.
- Stun Penalty: Upon taking a stun from Users, DotX will lose accumulated rings (either a portion or all rings), resetting momentum.
Other Terminator Adjustments
- Partypwny (Part of Ponies): The standard kick ability is slated to be replaced with pony rock.
- Sweep: In addition to prior mine mechanics, Sweep is receiving a custom kill animation that triggers whenever their planted mines eliminate a User.
User Combat Tweaks and Mobility Updates
Users will also receive expanded defensive options to fend off zombies and manage chase distance:
- Dive Kick: You can now dive kick, though travel distance is intentionally constrained.
- Zombie Interaction: Both Nyan and Rothfuss will gain the ability to kick active player zombies.
- Rothfuss Movement Opportunity: Rothfuss can utilize their Movement Opportunity mechanics to push back Terminators.
PWND BY 14 Crossover and Cosmetics
Following previous crossovers—such as the Die of Death collaboration that introduced the Sweepware skin—Pursuitcore is launching a collaboration with PWND BY 14.
Alongside the crossover, several new cosmetic additions and shop updates have been previewed:
| Character | Upcoming Cosmetic Addition | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Jack Noir | New Skins | Multiple skin variants revealed across developer previews. |
| Sweep | Sweet Milestones Skins | New skins announced and revealed for Sweep. |
| Blankstare | Retro Skin Animation | The Retro skin is receiving custom animations. |
| Shop | In-Store Cosmetics | New cosmetic items scheduled to become directly purchasable in the lobby shop. |
Interface Overhaul and New Map
The update also includes quality-of-life adjustments to the game's menu flow:
- Character Selection Screen: The User and Terminator selection interfaces are receiving visual reworks. The screen will now display equipped skins in real time so players can view their active cosmetics before spawning.
- New Map: A new map layout has been previewed to expand the current rotation alongside existing maps like Resort Harena, Silent Pwnyville, and Lost Mall.
Release Expectations
TamaCorp regularly rolls out patches, balance adjustments, and content drops through their official Roblox group. As of October 2026, the game continues to receive periodic maintenance and content patches. Exact deployment times for individual features (such as Sunstring or the selection screen overhaul) remain subject to internal testing cycles.
