The VERITY rework — "NEW GIANT + PERKS"

The 2026 rework retagged the game to Lurking Giants [VERITY] and is the biggest change since launch. Its official event, titled 'NEW GIANT + PERKS', lists the areas it touches — though ULTRA works has not published a detailed changelog.

What the update touches

  • A new giant joins the roster
  • Player / survivor perks
  • Balancing pass across existing giants
  • Advanced movement and traversal
  • Better giant chances (roll odds)
  • Reworked maps
  • New device support — VR and controller
  • A 'Codes' feature area (no redeemable codes live yet)
  • Bug fixes

Roadmap — what's still coming

The rework is rolling out in stages. Some of the list below is officially confirmed; some is expected from community footage. We label which is which rather than presenting rumours as facts.

FeatureStatus
New giantShipping with the VERITY update; name and abilities not yet officially detailed.
Survivor perksIntroduced in the VERITY event as a new progression layer over the night-cycle loop; individual perks not yet rostered.
Survivor classes & emotesPlanned social/loadout features; no official roster published.
Survivor attack itemsAnnounced as the first time survivors can fight back; no item list published. Until they ship, survivors have no offense — the win condition stays 'survive to sunrise'.
Map votingA lobby vote system tied to the confirmed 2x Voting Power gamepass; maps rotate automatically until it is fully live.
Reworked mapsThe rework officially overhauls the existing Forest and City arenas. Community sources speculate about an extra map, but nothing new is officially named.
VR & controller supportOfficially 'coming soon'; no binding layout released.
VERITY — incoming giant in Lurking Giants
A new giant arrives with the VERITY update — details not yet public.

Survivor perks, classes & attack items

The headline of the rework is that survivors are getting depth for the first time. Perks are introduced with the VERITY event; classes, emotes and — most significantly — attack items are announced as the first way survivors can fight back rather than only hide. None of these have a published roster yet, so we are not going to invent one. Until they ship, the win condition stays exactly the same: survive to sunrise.

We refresh this page against the official event and in-game state. If a feature here is still marked "planned," it means we could not verify it had actually shipped — not that it never will.
