Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Nugem Studio and Tesseract Studio detailed the Plague Zone update for the idle RPG Taskbar Hero, targeting early September. The update adds a high-difficulty stage type, level 90 items, new runes, and a character skin system with dark fantasy themes. Plague Zone stages require Contamination and offer adjustable Plague Intensity for better rewards.
The Plague Zone update for Taskbar Hero adds a new stage type that unlocks at Nightmare difficulty. Players spend Contamination, which builds with play time or by corroding items with cubes, to keep fighting stronger enemies for higher-level loot. Plague Intensity is player-set: higher settings mean tougher monsters but better treasure chests, and clearing one tier qualifies the player for the next.
The update also brings level 90 items, about 20 new special stats, new rune types, and a skin system. Dark fantasy skins are in preparation, first given free to existing players as compensation, then sold. The developers note the final form may differ from the diary, with a specific date to follow.
- Level 90 items: with about 20 new special stats
- New runes: new types and additions to existing runes
- Skin system: dark fantasy themes, free then paid
