Version 1.15.0.0 (2026.2.12)

Map Update "Spring Cabin"

Spring drizzles have melted the ice hole into an open pond, attracting new fish to settle in warmer waters.

The Tackle Shop now stocks Garfin's special new rods crafted for pond fishing.

Grab one and give it a swing!

WHAT IF? Mode - Season 2

Swing giant weapons, pass the ticking bomb, or transform into a ball and crash into rivals...

6 brand new WHAT IF? rules await!

In Quick Match, WHAT IF? Mode is available for a limited time from now until Mar 11 at 20:00 (PT).

In Custom Game, you can now mix and match different WHAT IF? rules to create unexpected results.

Up to 3 WHAT IF? rules can be selected per game. Their effects will influence each other.

Hoof Pass

With the Chinese New Year approaching… Happy Year of the Horse!

Wishing you smooth rides and steady strides!

The Hoof will be available for free from Feb 13 at 20:00 until Mar 13 at 20:00 (PT).

During the event, received Animal Level XP will also convert into battle pass Points at a set ratio.

You can also earn bonus Points by completing daily and weekly pass challenges.

Level up your Pass to unlock hoof themed outfits and more rewards!

God of Wealth Event

From Feb 19 at 20:00 to Feb 26 at 20:00 (PT), come search for "God of Wealth Roach" appearing randomly across different maps, and claim red envelopes filled with surprise amounts of Nemo Bucks!

During the event, the God of Wealth themed outfits are also available in the Item Shop for a limited time. Don't miss out!

Note: Each player can only claim one red envelope per day. Resets daily at midnight (UTC-4).

When the God of Wealth appears, the red envelope can only be claimed by one player. First come, first served.

The new outfit's price is set at 666 Nemo Bucks because it symbolizes good fortune and success in Chinese culture, and is unrelated to any religious meaning.

New Character "Roach" enters the Item Shop

New character "Roach" has joined the party!

It will be featured in the Item Shop from Feb 12 at 20:00 until Feb 19 at 20:00 (PT), after which it will join the regular shop rotation.
