Dreamhaven and FuzzyBot said they will launch the full version of Lynked: Banner of the Spark on PC and consoles on May 22.
The title developed by FuzzyBot is a a lighthearted, high-energy action RPG, will launch on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on May 22, 2025.
This release adds five chapters for a total of 40 new missions, five new bosses, The VoidSpyre biome, and more. The full version of Lynked will be available for $25 on Steam, the Microsoft Store, or the PlayStation Store.
FuzzyBot and publisher Dreamhaven previously debuted in October in early access. Now the version 1.0’s launch date was revealed during the Dreamhaven Showcase presented by The Game Awards.
Lynked version 1.0 adds chapters five through nine, taking players through the game’s main storyline and epilogue. Each chapter brings more bots to rescue, ways to upgrade the town, and action-packed missions to embark upon.
For Lynked, the team has been creating a lot of new content for the game and it will continue doing so. The game is well-suited for console players. It’s a mashup of cozy and roguelike gameplay, kind of like Animal Crossing, Dreamhaven CEO Mike Morhaime said in an interview with GamesBeat.
New content
Players can look forward to the following new content in version 1.0 on PC and consoles.
● Five new chapters with forty total missions that progress the main campaign, including a “Banner of the Spark” storyline where players will uncover the fate of the legendary band of bots and earn ten special themed rewards.
● Introducing a new biome, The VoidSpyre. Take on the Combot’s fortress with 18 VoidSpyre enemies, five new bosses, and procedurally generated maps, so no two missions are the same. Head back to town after the fight and catch VoidSpyre gillibots that have been added to the bot-o-pedia.
● Craft and collect new weapon mods, skins, and the sludge weapon core to enhance the fighting experience.
“Since day one, our goal with Lynked was to create a colorful action RPG that blends heartwarming town-building with high-energy action, and player feedback has been instrumental in shaping that vision,” said Max Spielberg, cofounder of FuzzyBot and creative director of Lynked: Banner of the Spark, in a statement. “Version 1.0 is the culmination of that journey, bringing new challenges, tools, and surprises for both longtime players and newcomers alike.”
Version 1.0 also includes the “Buddy Up” update. Buddy Up! introduces Chef Brot, a culinary mastermind for bots and organics alike. Players build Chef’s kitchen to craft up to 100 new delicious meals for Unibot residents and boost battle ranks through the power of cooking. Additionally, Buddy Up lets players player together. Choose from over 100 resident Unibots to join you in battle, selecting up to two companions in single-player and one in multiplayer.
