  • Four new Pants (1 not previously seen)

Traveling Spirits

Each weekend, one Traveling Spirit from a previous season will appear in Home and their memories will become available to relive for players who may have missed them. You will only be able to interact with the Traveling Spirits in-person while they are currently visiting for the weekend, so make sure to develop your friendship with the Spirits before they move on. 

Please note the currency costs will be different from their original season appearance, and details such as pricing and Spirit schedule are subject to change during the Beta. Shop items will use regular Candle, Heart, and Ascended Candle currencies to obtain.


New Player Experience

In our continued efforts to create a better new player experience we have made the following changes:

  • All portals to Home within the social areas of each level have been replaced by meditation shrines with a confirmation menu so that players don’t accidentally return to Home instead of progressing through the level. 
    • Home teleport bird statues also removed from within level areas. 
  • Portals in Home will no longer resume from last checkpoint, they will always load to the beginning of the level so that friends will no longer become separated because of different checkpoints.
  • Resume last checkpoint function is now done by using the new meditation circle in Home. 
  • Added teleport to Home button in the expression menu instead of being hidden in the utility menu.
    • When used from Home button will also return you to your last checkpoint.
  • Moved constellation gates to Prairie Cave and Nest and Keeper areas to ground level in the Butterfly Fields area.
    • Winged Light and candle placements adjusted to accommodate level design changes.
    • Added exit to Butterfly Catcher’s hut to streamline path to next area. 
    • Visual polish to Butterfly Fields area.
  • Improvements to directional flow in Isle of Dawn.

We will be celebrating the Lunar New Year with a Fireworks show on Friday January 24th and a Double heart event beginning at 00:00 Friday January 24th PST (UTC-8) and ending on Monday January 27th at 23:59 PST (UTC-8).
