Happy Holidays Neighbors!
Winter has arrived, but there’s no time to prepare for the cold, we've got creepy basements to investigate and Secret Neighbors to expose! New skins, QOL improvements, rebalancing, reworked systems, new quests and so much more are waiting under the tree, ready to be unwrapped in the Keepin’ it cozy winter update!
Read on to find out more...
What's new in Raven Brooks?
Let it snow!
Is it really Christmas if everything we see isn’t blanketed in a carpet of snow? Well, yes snow is actually very uncommon in some parts of the world. But not in Secret Neighbor!
Snow’s back, and with it you can once again wrap up warm, gather your friends, build some snowmen with them and then pelt them with snowballs, because what else are friends for?
New Brawl Mode: BooYah Wars!
Get your hooks ready folks, as the fan favourite brawl mode came home for Christmas!
Separated by a chasm filled with lava, players must “booyah!” their way to victory by hooking their opponents and reeling them onto their side of the map.
Obviously, you can also go the griefing route and just spend the game dropping your opponents in the river of magma that divides you, but you don’t get any points for that (and won’t win any friends that way either…)
After 5 rounds, the team with the most rounds won, wins the game!
Some festive stocking fillers:
Guest, Hunter, Ghost, Clown, Butcher and Quentin all have new skins, accessories and Christmas themed outfits for any unexpected holiday get-togethers!
Even The Guest is getting into the Christmas spirit this year, with a new Santa themed skin! Not sure you’d be too thrilled seeing him come crawling out of your chimney however…
New Daily Quests:
Quentin, The Hunter and Inventor are going to be especially busy this Christmas, with a bunch of new daily quests to complete!
