Yes. Pocketpair announced the “Home Sweet Home” update will go live on December 17, 2025 — it’s a winter update that brings an official ULTRAKILL collaboration (player skins and shooting-focused bits) and new base-customization options such as material recoloring. Pocketpair also reiterated that this is a smaller, pre-1.0 update as the team is concentrating on a full Version 1.0 release planned for 2026 (Gematsu announcement; GamesRadar report).
For context, Pocketpair has shipped several major updates through 2025 — for example the crossplay/Global Palbox update in March — and they’ve been iterating regularly while preparing for 1.0. Recent patches also included gameplay changes made in response to a lawsuit (notably adjustments to Pal-summon and gliding mechanics). If you want specifics, highlights for the December drop include:
- ULTRAKILL-themed player skins and combat touches
- Material recoloring and expanded base customization
- Continued polish toward the full 1.0 release in 2026
