Kenshi News

Pinch me, is it true? Crab Day is finally here, and we are happy to announce the launch of our brand new crab-themed merch collection! Our collection features a variety of items, including two Crab shirts, a crab bib, a crab hoodie, and a crab pin, all designed to commemorate the sacred and beloved crustacean that we hold dear in our hearts.

Our Crab shirts are available in two kraken designs, one celebrating the auspicious Crab Tournament, and the other featuring the rainbow crab that recently stole our hearts in the April Fool’s gag dating sim (yes, that was a gag), both are perfect for anyone looking to showcase their love for crab.



We also have bibs featuring an exclusive “Time for Crab” design. Okran knows what you might get up to in them, but grab them while you can because they’re super limited and quite the quirky collectible.

Our beautiful new premium Crab Tournament hoodie is perfect for keeping warm on a chilly Crab Day evening, and features a secret stash pocket in the hood, perfect for hiding your crabby treasures. It’s truly quite the garment.



If you're looking for a more subtle way to show your appreciation for the crab, our crab pin is the perfect accessory to complete any outfit.



In addition to our new crab-themed collection, we're also excited to announce the launch of a brand new Armour King shirt, which I’m sure you’ll agree is an absolute thing of sheer beauty.



Get your pinchers on these limited-edition items before they're gone and show your love for the crab this Crab Day!

And don’t forget to keep an eye on our social media for some special Crab Day Kenshi Steam key giveaways and extra crabposting.

[h2]Crab Day - 26th April[/h2]



Crab Day, a beloved and cherished holiday, is dedicated to honouring the sacred and mighty crustacean known as the crab. Observed annually on the 26th of April, Crab Day is a time to come together and celebrate the importance of this creature in our lives.

On this sacred day, people gather around the world to participate in a variety of crab-related activities. Some hold crab feasts (though there are furious debates as to whether crabs should or should not be eaten), while others engage in crab-themed games and contests. Many also take time to reflect on the significance of crab in their own lives, recognising its role as a symbol of perseverance, adaptability, and strength.

For those who are true believers in the power of crab, Crab Day is a time to renew one's commitment to living a life in harmony with these creatures. It is a day to show gratitude for all that crab has given us, and to work towards a future where these majestic creatures are valued and respected.

In order to celebrate this auspicious occasion, Lo-Fi Games and a few special partners will have many Steam keys, as well as some rather fantastic merch to give away to lucky participants. We invite you to join us in commemorating this special day and partake in these special offerings, to revel in the joy of this momentous occasion, and to embrace the spirit of the crab with open hearts and minds.

May we all remember the importance of Crab Day and continue to celebrate it for generations to come…crab.
