Time For Cake Update


Hey Survivors!

The Time For Cake update is now live!



This update focuses on some quality of life, balancing improvements and bug fixes.

New Features: Lobby Codes
  • To streamline matchmaking, we have added a lobby code function, which will replace lobby passwords. Now, when a player wants to join a lobby, they will need to ask for the lobby code (visible to the lobby host) and enter that code to join the lobby.

Store Improvements
  • We added a feature where the cosmetic name will appear below the player mannequin / preview in the Store page.
New Hair Colors
  1. We added new default hair colors: light ash blonde, ash blonde, light red, brown, java brown, charcoal black, and dark grey. This brings the total default hair colors to 15 (plus any hair dyes you have purchased).
Balance Changes: Sound Emitter
  • Sound Emitter now allows the user to choose which sounds are played.

Wild Spirit
  • Decreased health of the ghost bear to 800
  • Decreased the damage of Roar attack to 80
  • Increased the cooldown of Roar attack to 40 seconds
  • Decreased the damage of Claw attack to 50

Other Balancing Changes
  • Reverted the 2nd Traitor Drop to be time-based. Previously, both Traitor Airdrops were awarded to Traitors after objective completion. This provided little to no time for Traitors to access and benefit from the second Traitor airdrop. We changed this so that the second Traitor Airdrop is awarded once a set amount of time has passed .


With the release of this update, we'll continue to monitor feedback on Wild Spirit over the next few days before making additional changes.

The Egg Hunt Update

The Egg Hunt Update is now live!



This update focuses on an overhaul of our Artifact store, as well as significant changes to the Ally and Wild Spirit features from the previous update. Additionally, we’ve added a new objective available in custom games called “Abandoned Ranger”.


Artifact Store: The store page of the main menu has received a face lift!
  • Additional support for new cosmetic categories, allowing us to do “Daily”, “Weekly” or other faster rotations of store items.
  • Improved the visibility of cosmetic items on display in the store by increasing their image size.
  • Added the ability to sell cosmetics for Survivor Points
  • Cosmetic Name will now be displayed when viewing the item in the store.

Drops / Crates Page: We’ve introduced a new “Drops Catalog” that allows players to view the contents of a crate before purchasing it.
Abandoned Ranger: We’ve added a new objective to the custom game mode!
  • Abandoned Ranger is a new objective where a ranger-style escape vehicle has been abandoned and survivors must repair it.
  • While repairing it, a signal will begin emitting from it. Signal Boosters around the map will start picking up that signal and transmit a radio frequency that blocks the cabin radio from being able to contact their escape vehicle.
  • Players need to locate both signal towers and work to stop the frequency from transmitting.
  • This objective is ONLY available in custom game mode as we look for feedback and continue to improve it before we add it to the main game modes.

Added Easter event consisting of a progression tree and new store cosmetics.

But wait, more notable changes include:

Ally balance changes:
  • There is now a delay before the Ally knows who their Allied Player is.
  • An ally can be on any team (Survivor, Traitor, or Neutral)

Wild Spirit Changes:
  • There is now a cooldown for the roar attack
  • Ghosts no longer accrue Ghost Power while transformed into a ghost bear
  • There is now a 180 second cooldown between Wild Spirit transformations
  • Voice chat is muted for the ghost bear while using Wild Spirit ability
  • And more!

Tranquilizer gun has been fixed
  • Players now deal the correct amount of damage when suffering from the tranquilized effect

Cupid's Chaos Update


The Cupid's Chaos Update is now live!

This is the second update for those who were betrayed or found our winter world too tough. Here's what's coming to make things better in the afterlife:


  • Wild Spirit - As a ghost, players can take revenge on their killer by transforming into the wild spirit of a bear!
    • Wild Spirit ghost ability lasts for a short time.
    • Wild Spirit has less health and damage than a normal bear.
    • Wild Spirit costs 75 Ghost Power

But wait, more notable changes include:
  • Added a new role called “Ally” that grants health regen to that player if their ally is nearby
    • At the start of a match, the Ally receives the name of another player in the match, their Allied Player.
    • That Allied Player is guaranteed to have started the match on the survivor team.
    • When the Ally is in their Allied Player’s radius, they slowly regain health.
    • Be careful who you trust! Traitors can claim to be an Ally and try to exonerate their traitor partner by claiming that their traitor partner is their Allied Player (and as a result, is innocent).
    • Traitors can also claim that a player they know to be a Survivor is their Allied Player so they can earn that player’s trust.
  • Tranquilizer gun has been buffed.
    • The tranquilized effect now slows a player 10% more
    • The tranquilized effect now reduced a player’s damage by 25%
    • The Tranquilized effect now alters a player’s movement direction
    • The tranquilizer gun now takes slightly longer to aim
  • Added valentines day event consisting of challenges and new store cosmetics



Unleash your wild spirit with Cupids Chaos!
