What to expect from the Mutations Update in Roblox Steal a Character

Speculating on the features of the upcoming update (Image via Roblox)

Recently, the developer of Roblox Steal a Character removed the trick that allowed players to save their characters from being stolen by quitting the game. The response from the player community was negative, but it makes room for more improvement. Additional ways to protect one's studio could be introduced in the next update.

At the moment, the game's event description page has only confirmed that the next update will bring Mutations, QoL features, and miscellaneous content. Shiny and Rainbow are two kinds of Mutations that will be available.

Similar to Mutations in Grow a Garden, the upcoming feature could increase the income generation of characters in Steal a Character. A Cosmic character with a Rainbow mutation could provide more money than usual. Moreover, the game might give players a few ways to give Mutations to their characters.

Regarding the QoL features on the horizon, the developer has been toying with the idea of a trading system on the game's Discord server. The upcoming update could implement a trade feature to give players more ways to interact. Moreover, it could bring new ways to protect the studio, such as more Rebirths that increase the "Lock Studio" timer and new weapons that send thieves flying all over the map.
