We've got a lot for you in today's update; if you want a pinched-down version of the patch, head over to the [overview blog](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3526710/view/686382380150161505?l=english) we posted at the start of the week. Before we get into the changes, we want to say a huge thank you to all the crabs who have played, left us feedback, and reported bugs since launch. This update couldn't be as claw-some as it is without you! Today's update also brings the Twitch Extension, with multiple fun ways to interact with the game as a streamer and viewer! Full details, including a setup guide for streaming, can be found at the end of this blog. Now, enough stalling; time to get into the thick of it. Here are all the changes you can expect to find in today's update. ##### **New Evolutions and Specialisations:** ##### **Evolutions:** New Passive Evolution, **Tracker**. - **Tracker** is a 3-level Evolution with the Predator affinity. - **Tracker** marks all Alpha enemies with the Tracked effect. - Many evolutions and specialisations apply the Tracked effect and provide new cumulative bonuses against Tracked animals. - **Tracker** is added to the Evolution pool by having either Nomadic, Snout or More Eyes level 2. New Ultimate Ability, **Lick Wounds.** - **Lick Wounds **is a 5-level Ultimate Ability. - **Lick Wounds** allows the player to heal themselves for a limited amount whenever they choose, which can come in handy in dire situations. - **Lick Wounds** is added to the Evolution pool by having either Saliva or Whining. - Getting damaged by attacks reduces the cooldown further and is influenced by the player’s Feeding Speed stat. Both Evolutions can be unlocked by progressing into further Pressures. ##### **Specialisations:** - Specialisations can now be skipped; in return, players will gain 10 Mutagen Points **Specialisations have been added to Stoner: Signal & Training.** - **Training** will permanently increase Ability and Physical for every kill with Stoner. - **Signal** will mark and add **Tracked** to any enemies which are hit by Stoner, making your allies focus on them. Additionally, all Tracked enemies take 50% more damage from Charmed allies. **Specialisations have been added to Leech: Anaesthetic & Vasodilators.** - **Anaesthetic** will now make Leech attacks no longer make its target aggressive. - **Vasodilators** will now multiply Leech’s healing amount by the player’s Feeding Speed stat. **Specialisations have been added to Spur: Marking & Primal.** - **Marking** will apply the **Tracked** effect to any enemy hit by Spur. All Tracked enemies also receive double the Charm chance. - **Primal** will amplify Spur's damage by the number of Mutagen Points the player has. ##### **Meta-progression:** Several evolution unlocks have been moved to be easier to obtain: every Evolution which was locked behind Challenge progression can now be obtained by completing Pressures for the first time, providing players with more rewards for their Progress through the pressure selector. - **Hibernation **and **Burrower **are now unlocked by beating **Pressure 2** for the first time. - **Lick Wounds** is unlocked by beating **Pressure 3** for the first time. - **Overwhelm** is unlocked by beating **Pressure 4** for the first time. - **Tracker** is unlocked by beating **Pressure 6** for the first time. - **Fin** is unlocked by beating **Pressure 7** for the first time. - **Fibroblasts **is unlocked by beating **Pressure 8** for the first time. - **Ambush** is unlocked by beating **Pressure 9** for the first time. - **Constriction** is unlocked by beating **Pressure 11** for the first time. - **Pollinator** is now unlocked much earlier, now only requiring 25 Points of Interest. ##### **New Cosmetics:** Eight new Cosmetics have been added: **Crabtaur’s Horns, Condor’s Wings, Goldfish’s Fin, Cockroach’s Arthro _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3526710/view/686382380150161509]_ ### 1.0.1 Hotfix Patch Notes - Date: 2026-05-15 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3526710/view/664987745725186582 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/everything-is-crab-the-animal-evolution-roguelite/releases/steam-664987745725186582 - **added** — Roadmap button now takes players to a blog post with the roadmap in English and Simplified Chinese languages - **added** — Language UI symbol has been added to the Settings panel to signpost where the language dropdown can be found - **added** — You can now view all available Pressures and what they do without needing to unlock them - **changed** — Choosing an initial language on 1st launch now requires confirmation via a Continue button - **changed** — Baby bosses from unattended eggs have movement SFX reduced - **changed** — Robust's effect has been reduced by 25% - **changed** — Experience growth at higher levels has been slightly reduced - **changed** — Boss Rush now has faster levelling, longer fights and reduced enemy scaling - **changed** — Independent is now banned in Boss Rush - **changed** — Planned performance improvements to Steam Deck - **fixed** — Self and terrain damage are now shown in the end screen player damage numbers - **fixed** — Bug report button no longer opens external bug submission website if you are holding shift key - **fixed** — Analytics button no longer re-enables itself in Chinese speaking countries - **fixed** — Analytics pop up no longer appears after every launch in Chinese speaking countries - **fixed** — Aquaconda no longer sometimes drops meat (now only drops fish) - **fixed** — Spitfish no longer sometimes drops meat (now only drops fish) - **fixed** — Skipping with Patient no longer causes Evolution cards to break - **fixed** — Aquaconda no longer spawns outside of the arena - **fixed** — Cursor no longer shows when starting an extinction level - **fixed** — Full Plated Achievement is now granted if players have more plating than health Hey Crabbies! 🦀 A new patch Everything is Crab is now live, so be sure to update your game!
