Greetings Adventurers!

The Season of Sanctuary will soon be coming to a close as the spirits prepare to return to their daily lives. This Patch includes finishing touches for the Season’s conclusion, quality of life improvements, numerous bug fixes, and preparation for a new holiday event!


Season of Sanctuary Ends Soon

Heads up, Sky adventurers! The final treasure hunt quest becomes available starting on September 8th, and completing this quest will unlock the finale for the Season of Sanctuary. All treasure hunt quests and the finale cutscene will be available for all players to complete after Sanctuary has concluded, and will award regular hearts at completion. For a fun surprise, visit the bell tower after completing all six quests — and bring five friends who have unlocked the pout expression from Hidden Forest for an even better experience!

Days of Summer Lights

At 00:00 PDT on September 8th, a new holiday event will begin. The Sleepy Traveler’s boat will return with a version of the Spell Shop (normally found in Golden Wasteland after completing all six quests to restore the Forgotten Ark) for the duration of the event. Players will be able to obtain two brand new types of spells—Message Boat and Lantern—for free, with the option to craft more in exchange for Candles. Players may purchase a permanent version of the Summer Lantern in the Days of Summer Pack, which includes 35 Candles, for $19.99 USD. Players will be able to collect twice as much Seasonal Light each day of the event, allowing the forge of two Seasonal Candles instead of one. See our Days of Summer Lights preview blogs for a behind the scenes look at the development of this event. Event concludes 23:59 PDT September 20th.
  • Message boats have 30min cooldown
  • Can only be placed in water
  • Function similar to message candles
  • Spells will be available in the Golden Wasteland Spell Shop after the event concludes
  • Lantern Spells last 10 minutes
  • When used, Lantern Spell also gives nearby (holding hands) friends a temporary Lantern

Pre-orders for the yet-to-be-announced Season will begin at 12:00 noon PDT on September 21st. Keep an eye on our social channels and join the official Sky Discord for news and updates about this upcoming Season!

  • Fixed issue where confirmation text with more than one line would appear incorrectly on devices with nonstandard aspect ratios
  • Moved button to release a held crab from top right corner to bottom center
  • Added Spirit tombstones to the beginning of Isle of Dawn, to match the relocation of tombstones in other realms in a previous patch
