Omniscye posted the Major Game Update for Empress: Pokémon 2D Arena — version 1.0.0 for Windows and Android.
Headline features called out in the devlog: fullscreen arena battles, customizable Android touch controls, optional Battle Evolution and Living Arena in Quick Battle, CPU vs CPU, richer cover and arena events, a clearer sound mixer, trainer name plus Badge Case, and private rooms that stay up for rematches with Toxic and movement-speed limits.
Install notes from the same post: Windows players extract the full ZIP and run Empress-Pokemon-2D.exe; Android 1.0 uses a new app identity and starts fresh versus 0.4.1. Download packages remain on itch.io — poke2darena.com does not rehost them.
