===SUPER|brie+ Factory Grand Opening!===

==== 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.

The SUPER|brie+ Factory is an underwater facility that has surfaced just off the coastline near the Harbour. Once there, you will be able to visit the different rooms of the factory by accessing them from the Heads-Up Display. You can freely move around the factory and hunt in any room, each having different birthday mouse populations and special factory parts as loot from these mice.

===The Factory===
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; font-size: 110%"><div style="font-size: 125%">Festive Spirit '''will not double''' the following items dropped by mice:</div>
  
−
Welcome to the SUPER|brie+ Factory! Here, Magic Essence is pumped from the watery depths below and SUPER|brie+ cheese is manufactured by passing this essence along with raw, liquid cheese curds and whey through four very important steps. Each room of the factory plays a pivotal role in turning regular, old Brie Cheese into SUPER|brie+!
+
'''Golem Parts'''
  
−
Hunting in any of the rooms with standard bait will attract the usual birthday mice that will drop this year's birthday cheese: Coggy Colby Cheese. Using this mechanical version of Colby inside any room will attract specific birthday mice attracted to the mechanisms of the room itself. When caught, these mice will then drop a unique factory part that can be used to upgrade the rooms of the factory.
+
'''Magical Holiday Hat'''
  
−
Each successful capture with Coggy Colby Cheese armed will advance cheese through the production line. Once it gets to the end, you will encounter, Vincent, The Magnificent who has been keeping cheese crates from shipping. Capture this dastardly debonair and recover the produced package of cheese. With the damaged production lines, your initial packages of cheese will only yield small quantites of mostly plain Brie Cheese but as you upgrade the factory, it will begin to refine it and produce more SUPER|brie+ Cheese instead!
+
'''Magical Holiday Scarf'''
  
−
====Cheese Shipments Are Disappearing!====
+
'''Festive Spirit itself'''</div>
  
−
Unfortunately, with the location now revealed, Vincent, The Magnificent has invaded it with an army of Birthday Mice and is holding all the shipments hostage while the mice have been running amok in the factory! The King needs you to clean up the factory, restore it to optimum production efficiency and make sure the packages don't slip into the wrong hands!
+
==== New Festive Rewards ====
 +
Each time you claim a golem reward, you'll progress a reward track to earn bonus rewards including two new pieces of Limited Edition hunting equipment.
  
−

To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

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.

To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm, all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.

Grand Gift Opening Ceremony

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 18. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.

New Year's Celebration

Keep an eye out for an update on December 30 at approximately 4:00pm UTC to start the New Year's celebration! There will be a map to complete and new rewards to earn!
