Balan Wonderworld's Seizure Inducing Final Boss Addressed in Day One Patch
The final boss of Balan Wonderworld which, according to reports, has the potential to trigger seizures, is being tweaked to no longer carry that risk. The Balan Wonderworld Twitter account referred to the event as a "flashing bug" and stated that it would be fixed in the game's 'Day One' patch.
Please ensure that you install the Day 1 Patch before playing.

We have received reports of a photo-sensitive epilepsy risk from a potential flashing bug if playing the game un-patched.
The Day 1 Patch prevents this issue as well as enhances the overall play experience.
Footage of the game circulated online earlier this week, revealing a final boss with potentially triggering quick-flashing white background effects.
The [TRIGGER WARNING] potentially triggering final boss fight footage is available to view online, although we suggest that you act cautiously around the video. If you're determined to watch it, consider playing it at reduced speed.
