July 11, 2025 – Rekt Games and VRKiwi released today "Forgotten Trials," a significant content update for its popular VR platformer, Stilt. The free update, available now on Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and Steam VR, introduces an entirely new bonus area, a unique platforming mechanic, and a host of improvements designed to deepen the gameplay experience.
The "Forgotten Trials" update challenges players with three brand-new, single-player levels, accessible directly from the game's overworld. These secret areas are designed to test even the most skilled Stilt players. Accompanying these new levels is the innovative "Jump Flip Panel," a dynamic platform that toggles its state with every jump, requiring precise timing and strategic movement to navigate.
"We're incredibly excited to bring the 'Forgotten Trials' update to our Stilt community," said Petter Vernersson, Lead Developer at Rekt Games. "We wanted to take some of the most interesting mechanics from Stilt and really put them to the test. Each level is built around pushing a specific mechanic, like the jump pad, to its limits and exploring how far we could take it in terms of challenge and creativity. We also introduced a brand new platforming mechanic to push the movement skills of players even further."
Vernersson added, "Our goal was to introduce fresh, challenging content while also refining the core experience, and we've made significant improvements to levels, multiplayer matchmaking, and overall polish based on player feedback."
Key features of the "Forgotten Trials" update include:
- New Bonus Area: Discover and conquer "Forgotten Trials," a hidden set of 3 all-new, challenging single-player levels.
- Innovative Platform Mechanic: Master the "Jump Flip Panel," a tricky new platform type that changes state with each jump.
- Enhanced Level Design: Enjoy clearer paths in existing levels like "Cellar Labyrinth" and "Cave Rave," alongside new assist mode options for greater accessibility.
- Improved Multiplayer: Optimized server regions aim to facilitate easier and faster matchmaking for multiplayer sessions.
- Quality of Life Enhancements: Experience clearer UI elements, the introduction of in-game "Write a Review" prompts, and various bug fixes for a smoother, more enjoyable experience.
Stilt continues to evolve as a unique VR platformer, offering players a blend of challenging gameplay and immersive virtual reality environments. The "Forgotten Trials" update reinforces Rekt Games' commitment to continuous improvement and expanding content.
Stilt is available on Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and Steam VR.
