Winter Comes to the Rogues’ Den - Yuletide Seasonal Event

Greetings Thieves,

All is calm. All is quiet. All is ripe for the taking.

Yuletide 2025 is here, Cloak And Coin's first official seasonal event.

Experience it from the 10th of December until the 3rd of January 2026.

With the game fresh into Early Access, I wanted to put together a small event to celebrate the winter season and test the waters with what I can do in terms of limited-time content. I’m a solo developer, so I’m bound by a few constraints, but I still think it’s important to mark these moments properly.

New Limited Time Event: Yuletide

This event is very much about experimenting and learning what works for seasonal content in Cloak And Coin. It’s small, but it’s festive.

The Rogues’ Den has been given a cosy winter makeover, and it should definitely make the drinks at The Iron Stag feel a little warmer this season.

Free Yuletide Rewards

As part of this year’s Yuletide event, Thieves can earn two free, time-limited cosmetics:

• Complete any Contract on any difficulty and you'll recieve the Yuletide Schemer Title.

• Finish any Career on any difficulty and you'll recieve the The Little Helper hat.

Steal Presents

During the Yuletide event, you’re guaranteed to receive the Steal Presents curse.

This updates your bonus objective and tasks you with stealing up to four presents per contract for the Guild.

Update 1.1.0 Patch Notes

Alongside Yuletide, I’m also rolling out some much-needed fixes and balance changes based on your Early Access feedback. A big thank you to everyone who has played so far and left suggesstions or bug reports.

Gameplay Changes

• Added new curse, Reinforced Doors: prevents the use of Dynamite and Lock Melters on locked doors.

• Temporarily vaulted Visual Impairment curse, Early feedback, especially from streamers and content creators, showed it could trigger motion sickness. I’ll revisit this once I find a better implementation.

• Reduced the value of Gunpowder Barrels from 250 to 200 gold to better balance the Gunpowder Gambit contract.

• Updated the Finale envelope in the Rogues’ Den with a new visual symbol to more clearly show when you have enough gold to attempt the final Career contract.

• Renamed the Magic Mirror option from “Change Appearance” to “Customize Character” to better reflect that this is where Titles, Hats, and Cosmetics are equipped.

• Lowered the volume of the Mission Door opening sound effect based on early feedback.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where players could become stuck in a sprinting state, preventing them from picking up heavy loot.

• Fixed a bug where Potion of Life could sometimes grant +2 team lives instead of +1.

• Fixed lever identifier icons clipping into walls in the Brain Drain contract.

• Fixed Player count not updating correctly in the Lobby Browser.

• Fixed an issue preventing some players from unlocking the Vault Hunter achievement.

As always, if you’d like to report bugs, share clips, or chat with me and other Thieves, you can join the community here.

Happy holidays,
