Forsaken has been getting a lot of attention lately, and there’s a good reason for it. From major community polls to returning events and long-awaited content updates, the game is slowly building momentum again. Some of these changes could even shape the future direction of Forsaken in a big way. Here’s a complete breakdown of the latest news, leaks, and updates you need to know.


Swapsaken Might Become a Permanent Game Mode

One of the biggest topics right now is the future of Swapsaken, the limited-time mode introduced during the April Fool’s update. This mode flipped the entire gameplay by turning killers into survivors and survivors into killers, creating a fresh and unexpected experience.

Even though it launched with limited content, players enjoyed it a lot. When the event ended, many were disappointed to see it removed. Recent Discord polls show just how popular it was:

  • Around 94% of players want Swapsaken to return
  • About 92% want it to receive its own updates

These numbers are hard to ignore. If this feedback is taken seriously, Swapsaken could return as a separate game mode that players can access anytime, instead of being locked behind events.

There’s also potential for it to grow into something bigger, with its own characters, skins, and balance changes. However, some players are concerned that this could split development focus. Realistically, it would likely be updated on the side while the main game remains the priority.


Potential New Swapsaken Characters

If Swapsaken does return, one of the most exciting parts will be the expanded roster. The idea of role-swapping opens up a lot of creative possibilities. Players are already imagining scenarios like:

  • Survivors becoming killers
  • Killers turning into survivors
  • Entirely new mechanics based on swapped roles

This could make the game feel fresh again, especially for long-time players who want something different from the usual gameplay loop.


Just Shapes and Beats Collab – What Happened?

The collaboration with Just Shapes and Beats, developed by Berserk Studio, was once one of the most hyped projects for Forsaken. At the time, it was a big deal because it showed a Roblox game working with an external studio. Players expected high-quality skins, music, and unique designs similar to previous releases. Some of the most talked-about concepts included:

  • Hero Time
  • Lycan Cool Kid

These weren’t simple ideas. They included custom effects, unique mechanics, and even voice acting plans. Unfortunately, due to internal issues and drama surrounding the game at the time, development on these skins was stopped.

As a result:

  • The collab was paused
  • Planned skins were scrapped

However, things have started to stabilize recently. While nothing is confirmed, the possibility of the collab returning is still open. If it does come back, it could easily become one of the biggest updates Forsaken has ever had.


Easter Event Update and Changes

The latest Easter event has officially arrived, bringing back a variety of seasonal skins. Interestingly, most of these skins returned without major redesigns, staying close to their original versions. However, the update wasn’t just about cosmetics.

The developers also made important balance changes, especially to skins that were previously considered “pay-to-win.” These adjustments help make gameplay more fair and competitive, which is a positive step for the overall health of the game.


How to Unlock Mystic Slasher Skin

One of the highlights of the update is the Mystic Slasher skin, which had been teased for a while.

  • To unlock it, players need to: Get 150 kills as Combat Initiation Slasher or Own the Doom Spire badge in Combat Initiation

The skin includes a custom model, but most of its effects and chase theme remain similar to the original. While not a full redesign, it’s still a solid addition for collectors and dedicated players.


TREACHSTONE  John Doe Skin Delay

Another highly anticipated release is the TREACHSTONE  John Doe skin. Many expected it to arrive with the Easter update, but it wasn’t ready in time. According to the developers:

  • Only one final part is missing
  • The skin is nearly complete

While they didn’t specify what’s left, it could be related to sound effects, animations, or the chase theme. The good news is that it should be released soon once everything is finished.


Game Stability and Bug Fixes

Alongside the event, the developers revealed that the game recently went through a major internal overhaul. This explains why some players have experienced bugs or performance issues. The team has already acknowledged this and plans to fix most of these problems quickly. So if the game feels unstable right now, it’s likely temporary.


New Swapsaken Character – The Actuality

Another interesting reveal is a Swapsaken version of Spectre called The Actuality. This character didn’t make it into the original mode but was still showcased by the developers.

The design stands out immediately:

  • More humanoid and feminine form
  • White and green color scheme
  • Glowing green eyes with a darker face

What makes this version unique is how it contrasts with Spectre. Instead of being a massive, sky-based presence, The Actuality has a physical form.

There are also theories about her lore. Some players believe she may feed on positivity instead of negativity, acting as a complete opposite to Spectre. If Swapsaken returns, this character would likely be a strong candidate for future content.


Forsaken is clearly going through an important phase, with multiple updates, community feedback, and unfinished content all coming together. The strong response to Swapsaken alone shows how much potential the game still has.

While some features are still uncertain, like the collab and future modes, the direction looks promising. If the developers continue listening to feedback and polishing content, Forsaken could see a strong comeback in the near future. For now, it’s worth keeping an eye on upcoming announcements, especially regarding Swapsaken and the delayed skins.
