We’re ecstatic to bring you an enormous update to The Light Brigade on Meta Quest 2 + Pro. This isn’t just an ordinary update—it’s packed with new content to enrich your roguelike gaming experience and add deeper replayability to each new run.

Since launch, our development team has listened to your feedback and now we present to you the Memories of War Update, which contains new playable soldier classes, weapons, items, and captivating areas that we believe you’re going to absolutely enjoy. Let’s dive in.


Two New Playable Classes, New Weapons, and a Pilotable Drone


New playable classes - Engineer and Breacher

The battlefield evolves with our newest additions to The Light Brigade: the Engineer and the Breacher.

The Engineer isn’t just about strategy but also flexibility. Command a pilotable battle drone, navigable seamlessly with your joystick and armed to assist you in combat. Watch it soar around, targeting foes, and when it’s spent, it’ll fit snugly back into your pouch to recharge and await its next deployment. And we haven’t forgotten about firepower—meet the new MP35 rifle, perfectly balanced for combat versatility.

Answering the rallying cry of our community, we introduce the Breacher. Tailored to break through enemy lines and defenses, the Breacher is your go-to for close-combat situations. And what better companion for this class than the fan-favorite Winchester Model 1897 shotgun? It’s not just about its iconic status but also the sheer firepower it brings. Close the distance and let your enemies feel the devastating might of the Breacher.
