Easter Eggs is over - Thank You for Playing!

Hi burglars,

The Easter decorations are coming down, the eggs have stopped appearing... and just like that, the Easter Eggs event in Dark Hours has officially come to an end!





We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who took part in the event — whether you were steeling eggs from your friends, unlocking exclusive customizations, or just enjoying the festive mood, we hope you had as much fun playing it as we had making it!

Missed out on some of the exclusive items? Don’t worry, more events and surprises are on the way 😉


Until then, good luck on your heists!

One Week Left - Don’t Miss the Easter Eggs Event!

Hey everyone,

Time flies when you’re escaping monsters and snatching eggs! Just a quick heads-up: there’s only ONE WEEK LEFT before the Easter Eggs event comes to an end!

The event wraps up on April 30, so if you haven’t unlocked the exclusive Easter customizations yet, now’s the time to jump back in!





[h3]🎟️ Remember:[/h3]
Every egg you collect during your heists turns into Easter Tickets, which you can spend in the customization store for limited-time items:
  • 2 Easter Hats
  • 1 pair of stylish glasses
  • 2 facecovers
  • 1 backpack
  • 1 teambag designed for the occasion



These customizations are exclusive to the event and will disappear once it ends, don't miss your chance!

So gather your crew, throw on your bunny ears, and head out for another festive heist. The eggs aren’t going to collect themselves!


We’d love to hear your feedback on the event, so feel free to share it with us on Discord and the Steam forums. And as always, thank you for playing Dark Hours!


See ya!

  • Map desync improvement: Better handling of mission validation in multiplayer to avoid desynchronization of map generation between the clients and the host. More work to come on this later.
  • Stool Fix: Fixed stool falling over due to the weight of the Easter Bell in Control Rooms.

  • Throw items in teambag Fix: Easter Eggs can now be thrown into the teambag.
