Anomaly Detected Update Log — Every Patch & Chapter
Anomaly Detected update history — every chapter release, gamepass, and feature from the June 2026 launch to The Mall announcement, tracked continuously.
Solo developer BanuTheCat ships fast — four chapters live in under three months and a fifth days away, with features and gamepasses landing between map drops. There is no public text changelog; this timeline is reconstructed from official sources (badge/gamepass timestamps, the X Core Studios group, and the game’s update feed) and updated as new content is confirmed. The in-game build stamp currently reads v1.2.44 (shown on the lobby Start button).
The current build stamp, bottom of the Start button: v1.2.44. (Community gameplay capture.)

What is the update cadence?
Roughly one chapter every 1–4 weeks, with a gamepass or feature (Journal, Veteran, tutorial) riding most drops. The official description promises “NEW CONTRACTS & ANOMALIES COMING SOON,” and the Chapter 5 badge text — “Half way there” — points to about ten chapters total. Chapters 6–10 have not been announced by name.
How do I track new updates?
- This page — updated when new content is confirmed, not rumored.
- The X Core Studios group — the developer’s official announcement channel; joining it is also how you submit anomaly ideas (the description explicitly invites them).
- Badge list — new badges appear on the game page days before content ships; Chapter 5’s badges leaked its release a week early.
Bookmark the badges page too — new badges are the earliest reliable signal of what’s coming next.
