Update 0.70: Happy Holidays and Merry Giftsmash! 🎄
[p]Hello, Tavern Keepers 🍻 [/p][p]The holidays are here and we are celebrating in Tavern Keeper with you in our very first in-game event. 🎄 [/p][p][/p][h3]HAPPY GIFTSMASH[/h3][p]From December 24th now till January 6th, a festive event called Giftsmash is happening in Tavern Keeper. During this event, you can build a special item called the “Giftsmash Tree”. Patrons will leave little presents under it, filled with incredible decorations and custom designs submitted by other players.[/p][p]

[/p][p]The community unleashed its creativity with Design Mode and cooked up some amazing holiday-inspired designs for the presents! You still can submit a decoration of your own - know more here.[/p][p]
And that’s not all! There are seasonal collectible cards, some festive touches here and there, and in-world letters and gazettes that shine a light on why it’s called the Giftsmash season - spoiler alert, it has to do with gifts... and a bit of chaos.![]()
Yayyy, Cuthbert was gifted an eye! He lost his original one during the Cinematic… our poor boy.[/p][p] If you wish, you can opt out of this event in the Settings (under Extras).[/p][h3]
HEADING INTO 2026[/h3][p]The last couple of months have been a wild ride for us at Greenheart Games. Since releasing Tavern Keeper into Early Access, the response from the community has been incredibly encouraging. We’ve been putting your feedback to work, delivering over 50 smaller patches and a larger Quality-of-Life update.[/p][p][/p][p]Next year will be a busy year for Tavern Keeper. We’re working on new tools like a Color Picker for Design Mode, new regions and taverns to explore, more stories, deeper progression for your tavern and staff, and a few surprises we’re saving for later.
