    Explore the dramatic shifts in Roblox Forsaken as 1x1x1x1 gets buffed, JX1DX1 disappears, and top-tier characters face nerfs amid developer team upheaval and anticipation for Jane Doe's release.

    Forsaken's January Meta Earthquake

    Best quote from Forsaken's January Meta Earthquake

    “

    The new team clearly believes in empowering characters rather than constantly nerfing them; instead of nerfing everything into the ground, they're lifting some characters up while bringing others down to meet in the middle.

    ”

    Input question

    In January 2026, Roblox *Forsaken* saw the removal of character JX1DX1 and its associated themes. The character 1x1x1x1 received a major rework, increasing walkspeed to 8.5 and buffing minion HP and cooldowns. High-tier characters Nosferatu and Two Time were nerfed for better competitive balance. Development was restructured after Lead Dev Vess and Balancer Kaiser were fired. While Jane Doe is the next survivor, Dignity Noli remains delayed.
