During the time-limited Halloween Event which will run from now through to Wednesday, November 2, you’ll be able to unlock a series of creepy cosmetics by undertaking a series of missions, an exciting new addition to Turbo Golf Racing. Complete the missions and you’ll nab yourself the following items:

• Haunted Pumpkin Avatar

Alongside all of the ghoulishly good Halloween-themed cosmetics, we have added Hornet, a community-created vehicle, into the game; that will really put a sting in your tail!

For the duration of the event, you’ll find a new ‘Boost Canister’ pick-up dotted throughout the courses. When activated, players will receive a short speed boost. If the players like this new feature, it may be added to the game permanently. Remember to leave your feedback via the Discord.

We’ve also taken this update as an opportunity to add some additional community-requested features, updated some existing ones and fixed a couple of bugs too. You’ll find the patch notes below.
