The Spring Equinox Event starts now – New Event, Enemies, and Runari

The Spring Equinox is upon us, bringing new adventurers, strange new enemies, and a limited time event to Cloudheim.

A wizard’s experiment has gone terribly wrong. Corrupted creatures created are running rampant throughout the islands, and we need your help to track them down.

Defeat Beebles to collect Chocolate Coins, which can be exchanged with a totally human vendor for new World Eggs. These eggs unlock new dungeons in the Vault of the Gods, where powerful boss loot and weapon enchants await.

But Beebles are not the only new threat. Smallshots, mischievous constructs created by Geists, have begun appearing across Cloudheim. These floating troublemakers fire lasers from afar and unleash explosive projectiles if Runari get too close.

Two new Runari are also joining the fight. Willow and Bjorn arrive ready to help defend the shattered realms.

And greatword enjoyers, it's your time! We've added 11 new greatswords to the game.

Thank you for all of your support during Early Access. Cloudheim is built by a small(ish) team working as fast as we can, and seeing players jump in, share feedback, and have a fantastic time means the world to us. If you’ve been enjoying your adventures in Cloudheim, leaving a Steam review or telling a friend about the game helps us a lot. Thank you for being part of the adventure, Runari! Without further ado, read on for the full Equinox patch notes!

Note: 💬 indicates a change inspired by community feedback. If you’ve got an idea, let us know, it might end up in the game!
