DevUpdate #95: If I Had A Million Stages

June 16, 2023

Hey everyone, lemmingllama here! Last week we discussed the new tournament algorithm and many new ways that players can gain additional power with the 6.0 update. This week we’ll be talking about the core feature of the 6.0 update that will fundamentally change how Tap Titans 2 is played. Let’s get into it!


With all the additional power being added, players will be progressing to higher stages than were previously possible, and progressing much faster than before. This will mean that many players will be getting to the current stage cap very quickly. To help give us more overall space to give all this extra power, we are raising the stage cap and introducing Transcendence.

Transcendence are special seasonal stages for the main game that players will progress through and compete in for rewards, similar to how Master Tier currently works for raids. Once you have hit the current stage cap of 180,000, you will then be able to prestige and enter the current Transcendence. Transcendence will have a drastically higher stage cap (stage 1,000,000 for Season 1), and players will compete on a seasonal leaderboard to see who can reach the highest stage. Top players will receive special cosmetic rewards to show off their pushing power.

However, Transcendence will also have special milestones to give goals during the season. Reaching a milestone will give large rewards, and a massive boost in rewards if it was the first season you’ve ever reached that milestone. Progressing each season will be important to collect the seasonal milestones and get those rewards!

When a season ends, players will need to prestige to exit the season and collect their leaderboard rewards. This will return the player back to the “normal” stage cap of 180,000 until the next season begins.

As players will be progressing through a large number of stages and repeating those stages each season, we are changing how players unlock stage rewards. Skill points and equipment will no longer be granted when progressing through stages above 180,000, and instead those sorts of rewards will be unlocked through the seasonal milestones. Relic gains also will not increase per stage past 180,000, as instead we have something else to help “replace” it.


Now, for people wondering how stage 1,000,000 would ever possibly be reachable, the answer is the new Monument system, which are special seasonal artifacts that players can unlock in a Transcendence. Prestiging above 180,000 will not raise your relics higher, but instead you will earn Mementos, which are essentially seasonal relics used to unlock the Monuments.

Each season will have special themed Monuments for that season, and the Monuments will rotate based on the given season’s themes. This will make progression through the seasons different each time depending on which Monuments you unlock.


Thank you for reading! Tune in next week, where we’ll go into more details on what monuments will be coming in the first Transcendence!

Happy Tapping!
