==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
 +
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
 +
 
 +
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.

====Map Hunting Updates====
 
−
Looking for map mates beyond your close-knit hunter's group of friends? A new user preference has been added allowing hunters to choose to receive map invitations from anyone. You can opt-in to this behaviour by clicking '''Help''' at the top-right of the game followed by '''User Preferences''' and enable "Allow map invites from anyone". Any hunter that has enabled map invites from non-friends will have a map invite button on their Hunter's Profile.

Available at the General Store in the Queso River, Prickly Plains, and Cantera Quarry is the first scrap piece of a new Queso Canyoneer Journal Theme. Collect the second scrap by looting Queso Canyoneer Treasure Chests, and the third scrap by pursuing Queen Quesada herself!
 
  
−
Rare Queso Canyoneer Treasure Chests are much more likely to contain the second scrap piece. The third is rather closely guarded by Queen Quesada, it may take a golden number of captures before she loosens her grip on the scrap piece.

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again

The Frost King's Latest Attack

The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.

Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
