R.E.P.O. Sunstone Update Adds New Stage, Monster and Japanese Support

semiwork released the free major update v0.5.0, titled The Sunstone Update, for R.E.P.O. on October 29, 2026, according to automaton-media.com. The update is available on PC via Steam.

The update adds Japanese among the game's 21 supported languages, and introduces gamepad support. It also adds a new stage, Sunstone Valley Resort, whose interior resembles a mine, with unstable footing, falling rocks and rideable mine carts.

18 new rooms were added to existing stages: 5 in Headman Manor, 4 in Swiftbroom Academy, 4 in Museum of Human Art and 5 in McJannek Station. Some are "giant rooms" with stage-specific gimmicks, such as climbing a giant tree in Swiftbroom Academy and moving while the green light is on in Museum of Human Art.

A new monster called Pony crawls on ceilings with a long tongue and can grab, throw or kick players, or take their weapons. Three new items were added: Human Gun, Human Adventure Cable and Recharge Orb. The shop now lets players hand items to the shopkeeper for a chance at a purchase discount, though the item may be destroyed.

The update also adds Halloween-themed bonus elements, 10 cosmetic items, appearance changes for some monsters, and weapon and item weight adjustments. R.E.P.O. is currently in early access on PC via Steam; it is on sale at 35% off, 780 yen including tax, until November 10, and a Nintendo Switch 2 version is planned for release in 2027.
