The galaxy’s most adorable killing machine is finally ready for his full deployment.
Developer Daylight Basement Studio has officially announced that its pawsome bullet-hell roguelite, Rightfully, Beary Arms, will be pouncing out of Early Access and into its full 1.0 launch on Tuesday, January 27th, 2026.
The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
After more than two years of community-driven development, this full release is packed with a slew of new content, including a brand-new final boss, new story beats, and a host of other pawtastic additions.
A Pawsitively Patient Journey
The road to this full release has been a long and eagerly watched one. We first reported on this title back in 2023, when it was originally slated for a 2024 Xbox release.
That extra time in the development den has clearly been well spent, as the team has used the Early Access period to pour a huge amount of new content and polish into the final product, ensuring Beary’s adventure is more adorably chaotic than ever.
What’s New in the 1.0 Update?
This full release is a massive expansion on the Early Access version, bringing a host of new features that complete Beary’s intergalactic mission.
- A New Final Boss: Prepare to sink your claws (and bullets) into an intimidating new final boss, providing the ultimate challenge for seasoned players.
- New Weapons and Modifiers: Experiment with a host of new weapons and powerful augments to create even more devastating builds.
- New Story Beats: The 1.0 launch will bring new narrative elements to Beary’s adventure, adding more depth to his quest.
- Mid-Run Saves: A crucial and highly requested quality-of-life feature, you can now save your progress mid-run, making the game more accessible for everyone.
- New Outfits and Achievements: Freshen up Beary’s style with an abundance of newly-sewn fits and hunt down a full new list of achievements.
Claws, Blasters, and Unbearable Cuteness
For those new to the carnage, Rightfully, Beary Arms is a tough-as-nails bullet-hell roguelite where you step into the cuddly and extremely deadly shoes of Beary.
You will embark on a mission to obliterate nasty “Fun Guys” and shocking “Battery Boys” in a series of increasingly difficult roguelite runs. You’ll transform weapons like the “Crop Duster” and the “Fish Sword” into vessels of “clawstruction” with a host of powerful augments.
Between levels, you’ll select from a range of randomly generated bonuses that, in a unique risk/reward twist, won’t just benefit you, but your foes as well.
A Word from the Creators
The team at Daylight Basement Studio is excited to finally bring the full version of their debut title to the world.
“Who says a cute bear can’t learn new tricks?” said Chris Bischke, Co-Founder of Daylight Basement Studio. “After releasing in Steam Early Access over two years ago, we’ve poured countless hours into making Beary’s adventures more adorably chaotic than ever. We can’t wait to see what shenanigans fans will get him into with our 1.0 launch next year.“
The final chapter of Beary’s brutally cute adventure is about to begin. For fans of the bullet-hell and roguelite genres, this is a must-watch title that promises a deep, challenging, and unbearably adorable experience. Prepare to go claws and blasters out when the full release lands on January 27th 2026. We’ll remind you as that time comes.
