Update 29.0, the Control Update, released on December 23, 2025 and is a major systems overhaul. It features a complete rework of the
Control fruit, the arrival of Dungeon Mode with its enemy waves and bosses, and a brand new equipment system,
Trinkets, which provide RPG-style stat bonuses. It also brings a series of mobile improvements and a significant rebalancing of dungeons starting the next day.
How to get it
Released December 23, 2025. The Fandom describes it as a major gameplay and systems update.

A second mode is announced, but the source remains unclear: it indicates itself that its name varies depending on the source and describes it sometimes as a new PvP arena, sometimes as a Challenge mode, sometimes as a time-attack mode.
New System: Trinkets

NPCs, or extra Melee points - Stat bonuses provided: damage, defense, energy regeneration, movement speed, and cooldown reduction
