A major progression update is coming to 99 Nights in the Forest, and it focuses on something players have been waiting for — brand new classes.
The update is officially labeled New Classes, and while the developers have reused an older teaser image, they have clearly stated that players should not read too much into it.
This strongly suggests completely new class designs, mechanics, or reworks rather than simple reskins.
With close to one million players already interested, this is shaping up to be one of the most impactful updates for long term gameplay.
What the New Classes Update Means
Classes play a huge role in how you survive nights, deal with enemies, and support teammates in 99 Nights in the Forest. Adding new classes usually affects
- Playstyle variety
- Team compositions
- Difficulty balance
- Late game strategy
This update may introduce
- Entirely new class abilities
- New roles for solo and co op play
- Balance changes to existing classes
- Hard mode synergy improvements
Because this is a multi day update window, it is likely designed for players to experiment and adjust rather than unlock everything instantly.
Why This Update Is Important
New classes can completely shift the meta. Players who adapt early usually gain a big advantage, especially in harder modes where class synergy matters.
If you enjoy optimizing builds or playing with friends, this update will likely change how teams approach survival runs going forward.
