Summer Break Is Live, Dark Hours New Seasonal Event 🌴

Dark Hours · published 19 Jun 2026, 23:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone,

Summer is here, and we're trading horror for sunshine! Well, almost... The monsters didn't get the vacation memo, but the rest of us did, and our brand-new seasonal event, Summer Break, is now live in Dark Hours!

Sunny decorations, a brand-new mini-game, returning summer cosmetics, and exclusive new outfits are dropping into your heists for a limited time.

🗓️ Available from June 20th to July 20th

🌴 Summer Makeover

The Dark Hours lobby and environment have traded their usual gloom for a full summer makeover. Buoys, surfboards, flower garlands, deck chairs, and beach decor are scattered all around. Take a moment to relax, before remembering why you're really here.

🎯 Aim, Throw, Score!

This event brings a brand-new seasonal mechanic! Scattered across the maps, you'll find targets placed in unexpected spots. Pick up the beach balls you can find around the place, take aim, and hit the targets to earn event points. But don't let the fun distract you from the real heist, or the monster!

🎟️ Earn Summer Tickets

At the end of each heist, the points you've earned are converted into Summer Tickets. Use them in the event shop to unlock exclusive cosmetics.

🎁 Unlock Exclusive Summer Customizations

This year, Summer Break brings you 8 customizations to unlock through Summer Tickets, including 4 brand-new items added for the occasion.

Brand-new this year:

  • Beach bucket helmet

  • Crab-shaped backpack

  • Flower lei

  • Tiki mask

Returning from last year:

  • Pineapple backpack

  • Flower-shaped sunglasses

  • Straw hat

  • Vacation duffel bag

These items are only available during the event, so make sure to collect them before Summer Break ends on July 20th.

We hope you enjoy this special event, and as always, we'd love to hear your feedback. Feel free to share it with us on Discord and the Steam forums.

Have a great summer!

Raven
