Greetings, Adventurers! There’s plenty to dive into with this update: the conclusion of Ninny’s story in Season of Moomin, surprising twists in a special year-end collaboration, big updates for Days of Music, and another round of feature updates and quality of life improvements that we can’t wait to share—among MANY other things.

More chapters of Season of Moomin are waiting for you to explore! As the remaining quests become available, check in with the Storybook Guide to experience the rest of this classic tale alongside Moominmama, Too-ticky, and Little My—not to mention Ninny and the rest of the Moomin family.

While the Season continues, be sure to unlock themed hairstyles, capes, outfits, and more. These are available in the Storybook Guide’s area, which you can access by talking to the Guide when you see them in Aviary Village or Home.

With this update, a new cape will appear in the in-game shop after completing the final Seasonal Quest, which becomes available on December 9th:

• Moominmamma's Masterpiece cape: $24.99 (all prices USD)

As part of this special collaboration, this cape comes with the ability to teleport to the inside of a special version of the Moominvalley house! The ability can be activated after completing all six Seasonal Quests. Although the Moomin family and their friends won’t be home during your visit, you can bring your friends with you and explore the space together as Sky kids.

If you’re looking for the other Moomin in-app purchases in the meantime, instead of the in-game Shop, those are now available in the Storybook Guide’s area.

Moominmamma’s Masterpiece cape and other special collaboration in-app purchases will be available only during the Season and are not currently planned to return once it concludes. If you see something you’d like, be sure to check the in-game store and the Storybook Guide’s area before the Season ends!

As for the emote and the two items available in the Storybook Guide’s Friendship Tree in exchange for regular Candles, these are planned to continue to be available after the Season ends.

Season of Moomin continues until 23:59 December 29th (all times PST, UTC -8).

From November 25th through December 8th Pacific time, Days of Music returns! This year’s event brings a suite of updates, with activities, features, and more inviting you to share music in brand new ways.

Talk to the event guide Spirit in Aviary Village or Home. They’ll teleport you to stages across the realms.* Each location provides a unique prompt to create a song to share with others, as simple or intricate as you’d like. Choose from one of the instruments provided nearby, and then record your tune using a Shared Memory.

It’s the perfect opportunity to listen to other players’ creations, too! Browse through the other Shared Memories at the stage and you may even find inspiration for the next song you compose.

Four event currency can be forged each day from event currency Light. This can be gathered as you take part in the event's activities. Plus, 15 bonus event currency will be placed around Aviary Village for the duration of the event, so no need to hurry to find them on the first day (keep your eye out for musical symbols)!

Days of Music will feature new items plus mementos returning from previous years. New items available during the event are:

• Marching Band Cape: 50 event currency
  
• Music Marching Uniform outfit: $9.99

These next two items will be introduced when Days of Music starts, and they’ll remain permanently available to unlock or purchase in Harmony Hall even after the event ends:

• Jam Station: 250 Candles
  
• Fledgling Upright Piano: $4.99
  This piano appears in the prop category, which means that other players will be able to try it if you place it somewhere such as your Nest.

For details on returning Days of Music items, please refer to patch notes from previous years. As for items originally introduced for event currency, the Marching Band hat and saxophone will be 55 and 125 Candles respectively; the Marching Band hat will be available only during the event, but the saxophone will remain in Harmony Hall permanently. Free trial spells for all items can be found in Harmony Hall.

Speaking of the Jam Station: This item offers a TON of new features to enjoy! It offers a default instrument for each of its four parts, and every other instrument you already have in your closet are options to choose for each part too (the exception to this are instruments that are categorized as a placeable, like Duets pianos or the Fledgling Upright piano). Instrument selections and patterns will autosave, and the updated UI makes it easier to edit each part.

There’s more packed into the Jam Stations than we can fit in the patch notes, but we can’t wait to see the performances you make with them!

(*The event guide in Home will be missing the teleport option in its Friendship Tree. This is not intended, and the teleport function will be available as intended in future events.)

From 00:00 December 9th until 23:59 December 22nd PST (UTC -8), Days of Giving returns. During this time there will be:

• Double Seasonal Light: 8 clusters of Seasonal Light can be collected in the daily realm for a total of two Seasonal Candles each day.
  
• Double Treasure Candles: There will be 8 locations of large Treasure Candles in the same realm each day, instead of four.
  
• Double Hearts: Every Heart and partial Heart gift sent during the event to a friend will be doubled.

Note: Hearts and partial Heart gifts are doubled when they’re sent during the event. If a gift is sent before Days of Giving begins but is then collected during the event, it will not be doubled. Double Hearts will not apply to Hearts sent through Player Creations.

From December 23, 2024 through January 12, 2025 get ready for a fantastical twist on Sky’s Days of Feast celebration! This special collaboration brings the magic of Alice in Wonderland to Sky with an event filled with memorable characters, stories, and surprises.

When the event begins, keep your eye out in Home and Aviary Village for a creature who’s in a hurry. Follow them to find the entrance to an all-new event area where you’ll experience Sky from a very different perspective.

Take a moment to talk with the various event Spirits there; they’ll also share some event currency Light if you help them with their requests. If you need a break from their shenanigans, their tea party offers Sky kids some Social Light, too.

In fact, five event currency can be gathered by completing the two activities with the Wonderland Cafe Spirits each day. Plus, as you explore what the area has to offer, you can find 15 bonus event currency tucked away around the Cafe. Like the bonus event currency in Days of Music, these are available during the entire event, so feel free to take your time to search for them.

Don’t forget to explore around the rest of Sky, too! Days of Feast favorites are back in places like Dreams Village, Home, and the Secret Area available from the Vault of Knowledge. So if you’ve been looking forward to being transformed into a snow kid or spending time with a favorite Spirit in the snow hut in Home, you’ll have the chance to do just that.

New items coming with Sky x Alice’s Wonderland Cafe are:

• Wonderland Stacked Hat: 18 event currency
  
• Wonderland Frantic Hair: 30 event currency
  
• Wonderland Teacup Bath prop: 36 event currency
  
• Wonderland Hare Hairstyle: 150 Candles
  This item will be permanently available to unlock after the event ends by traveling to the Wonderland Cafe via the Wonderland Cafe Corridor prop
  
• Wonderland Primrose Pinafore Set: $11.99
  Includes a hair accessory and a primrose-yellow dress inspired by the outfit Alice wore in Lewis Carroll’s classic story
  
• Wonderland Cafe Corridor: $19.99
  This passageway allows you to travel back to the Wonderland Cafe from everywhere but the stormiest places in Sky, even after the event ends. Once placed, the travel ability can be used by any player who interacts with it.

For details on returning items, please refer to patch notes from previous years. As for items introduced for event currency last year, the Winter Pine Cone Hairclip and Winter Feast Snowboard will be 35 and 145 Candles respectively. Free trial spells for all items are available in Wonderland Cafe.


A group of past Seasonal Spirits is set to arrive and add extra energy to the start of the new year!

Mark your calendars for January 13th through 26th 2025. During that time, one of the Spirits from this group will appear in Aviary Village and Home to teleport you to where they and their friends will gather. While they’re visiting, you’ll have the chance to unlock seasonal items that they brought with them during their original seasons.


To celebrate the beginning of 2025, don’t miss Sky’s special fireworks show! It will be held in Home and Aviary Village starting at 02:00 December 31st (the earliest New Year, 00:00 in Kiribati), and repeating every hour until 04:00 January 1st (the latest New Year, 00:00 on Howland Island).

To enter the New Year’s fireworks show in Aviary Village, teleport from the fireworks staff. This will be available if you’ve completed the quest at the top of the Hopeful Steward’s Friendship Tree.

Watch with old friends, join with new ones, or mark the moment in whatever way is cozy to you.


News in Sky
Players have shared a lot of feedback asking for ways to keep up with official news and announcements shared through blog posts and patch notes. In 0.27.5, we’re excited to start rolling out a News feature that will make these easily accessible in the game!

In this update, players on mobile platforms will find this feature in the Settings menu. Simply tap on the News icon and you’ll be able to easily scroll through Sky’s most recent blog posts and patch notes.

If you’re on Steam, Switch, or PlayStation, don’t worry, we’ll be unveiling this feature for you soon! In the meantime, we’re working on optimizing it to work smoothly and meet the unique needs of console platforms. Stay tuned for a future update!


Start Sky in Your Nest, and Other Nesting & Aviary Updates
Another feature we’re adding based on your feedback: You can now choose to start the game in your Nest! This is a quieter and calmer starting point, so you’ll still need to hop down to Aviary Village to check your Friendship Constellation and Daily Quests. Note that when you use the option in the Settings or Expression menus to teleport back to your “home base,” players with their Nest set as their starting point will be teleported to the realm portals in Aviary.

“Hop down?” you ask. “From where?” Great question—you’ll be able to hop down to Aviary Village from the cozy balcony that has also been added to Nests in this update.

Meanwhile in Aviary Village:

• The Nesting Workshop has a new prop that you can use to hang one of your masks as a wall decoration. Find it in the workshop menu under a newly updated “permanently available” selection of items that can be unlocked.
  
• Speaking of items in the Nesting Worskhop—the Nesting Workshop now has a section for permanent offerings in addition to a rotating items section. This will make it possible to unlock certain Nest essentials without having to wait for their rotation to come around.
  
• The place to pick up the daily Season Candle and Hearts gifted through Player Creations has been moved from the Friendship Shrine to the statue near the gates to the levels.

Construction Work in Aviary Village
In 0.27.5, you may notice some construction work in the area where the events workshop was. While that construction is underway, this will still be the place to go if you’d like to travel to an event area quickly—Spirits will be waiting for you here while their event is active, and they’ll offer you a teleport option. Those event locations will also be where event cosmetics can be unlocked or purchased, too.


Save Custom Chat Messages in your Emote Favorites Menu
If there’s a particular phrase you use a lot when chatting with friends, now you can add it to your emote favorites menu! Use this to quickly send custom chat messages like “Thanks!” or “Meet me back in Aviary Village,” or “No, you shouldn't try to hug a Dark Dragon.”


Friendly Account Linking Reminder…
We have some fun stuff planned to share with you in December. On a related note, if you have a Twitch account, be sure to link it with your Sky account.


Continued Daily Quest Improvements
Along with another batch of new Daily Quests (we hope you’ve been enjoying them!), we’ve included some quality of life improvements. For example:

• In the realms, use your Sky kid’s call to reveal a radar point for Daily Quest Spirits whom you haven’t already met.
  
• Photo quests have a progress meter.
  
• When you turn in your Daily Quests to a Spirit, the icon has been updated from an exclamation mark to a checkmark.
  
• In Aviary Village, the Spirit behind the counter will offer you a small treat after you turn in all of your quests.
  
• Daily Quest list text will update with hints once you start to do them.

Additional Graphics Options for Mobile Platforms
Players on mobile devices can now choose separate settings from resolution and frame rates under Graphics Settings in the Settings menu. Note that support for some resolution and frame rate options is dependent on device capabilities.

• ✶ In areas where there is both a Shared Memory shrine and a Spirit, the shrine no longer disappears after a player completes their memory quest.

This year’s Days of Music is back and ready to take the celebration from Harmony Hall to Aviary Village and beyond. With revamped activities, features, and more, this year’s event brings new ways for Sky kids and their songs to take center stage!


From November 25th through December 8th PST (UTC -8), a friendly event guide will be ready to greet you in Aviary Village and Home. They’ve been working with some friends to prepare a series of stages for Sky kids to perform on, each one placed in a different realm.

Talk to the event guide and they’ll teleport you to the performance location for the day. Each location provides a unique prompt—simply use that prompt as inspiration to create a song as simple or intricate as you’d like! Choose from one of the instruments provided nearby, and then record your tune using a Shared Memory.

These stages are also the perfect place to listen to other players’ musical creations. Browse through Shared Memories at the stage and you may even find inspiration for your next song (and if you find someone practicing an instrument or sharing their songs live, be sure to support them with a round of applause).


Four event currency can be forged each day from event currency Light. This can be gathered as you take part in the event's activities. Plus, 15 bonus event currency will be placed around Aviary Village for the duration of the event, so there’s no need to hurry to find them on the first day. Keep your eye out for musical symbols as you’re walking (or flying) around town!

With that event currency, you can unlock a new cape fit for a marching band. Other new and returning items can also be found in Harmony Hall—this year features a new outfit, plus a placeable piano and a Jam Station that will both remain permanently available even when Days of Music concludes.

The Jam Station arrives as a placeable prop! Unlock this item and you’ll be able to compose, experiment with, and play back songs with up to four different parts in harmony.

But this isn’t simply the Jam Station you know from Harmony Hall or past Anniversary events. We’ve added a TON of features for you when you take it out into the realms.

For example:

• An updated UI makes it easier to edit each part
  
• Every instrument in the instrument section of your closet can be chosen as a sound for your Jam Station to use
  
• Instrument selections and patterns will autosave as you create your Jam Station tune

Tl;dr we hope you have your best dance emotes ready, because the tunes in Nests, Shared Spaces, and beyond will take Sky dance parties to a whole new level.

Days of Music is the chance for everyone, no matter their music experience, to share melodies and even create new memories with them. From the corridors of Harmony Hall to stages in Aviary Village and across the realms, Days of Music is an event to inspire and be inspired by. We’ll see you in the skies!

Greetings, Adventurers! In this update, we’re excited to finally reveal Season of Moomin with you! Days of Mischief is also headed your way, along with some updates to improve your gameplay experience and another hefty batch of bug fixes.

Sky’s newest collaboration arrives in this update! Enter a timeless story as an invisible child meets the friendly family of Moomintrolls and struggles to emerge from the shadows of her past.

Meet the Moomins and their companions as they get to know Ninny the invisible child. As you explore the enchanting world of Tove Jansson’s classic characters, you’ll discover the ways that friendship and acceptance can restore color no matter how faded the world may seem.

To begin your journey, check in with the Moomin Storybook. This guide offers a series of quests that gradually unfold to tell the story of the Season from both the Moomins' perspective and a Sky Child's perspective.

Along the way you'll have the chance to unlock themed items that reflect the Season—special outfits, capes, hairstyles, an instrument, and more!

The Moomin Storybook brings several items in their Friendship Tree: A new expression, plus an outfit and a cozy family portrait that can be unlocked for regular Candles. Season Pass holders will also have the chance to unlock three Ultimate Gifts.

In the in-game shop menu, you’ll also find special collaboration items inspired by some of the characters you’ll encounter during the Season:
(all prices USD)

• Hattifattener Shoulder Buddy: $2.99
  
• Pointed Snufkin Hat: $4.99
  
• Roving Snufkin Robe Set: $9.99 (Comes with scarf and outfit)
  
• Moomintroll Accessory Set: $11.99 (Includes ear and tail accessories)

Stay tuned for a soon-to-be-announced cape coming in the 0.27.5 update too—it will offer a memorable way to carry a piece of Moominvalley with you throughout Sky.

These special collaboration items are currently planned to be available only until the end of the Season.

Season of Moomin begins at 00:00 October 14th and continues until 23:59 December 29th (all times Pacific).


After Season of Moomin begins on October 14th, the Sky Web Store will offer 15 additional regular Candles with the first purchase of any item during the Season. For more information about the Sky Web Store, see our FAQ page!

First it was Dark Dragons, then it was Dark Crabs—but this year, something else altogether has been unleashed, and the Spirits in the Cackling Crab need Sky kids’ help!

The Spirits tried to summon a creature to the area above the cave, but something wasn’t quite right. Instead, something much more chaotic has appeared.

In each of the event’s three weekly phases, the Spirits will ask you to lend a hand to keep the chaos at bay. Help them take care of what they’ve brought in—on land, in the air, or even by the brooms they’ll lend you— and you can find event currency Light in the process too!

Up to 5 event currency can be forged each day by gathering event Light. That event Light can be gathered while participating in the activities the Mischief Spirits ask for your help with. Event currency can then be used to unlock this year’s new items:

• Mischief Star Sticker accessory: 16 event currency
  
• Mischief Cauldron: 22 event currency (Take a sip of this cauldron’s brew to temporarily turn your Sky kid green!)
  
• Mischief Spider Bun hairstyle: 36 event currency

These items can also be purchased:

• Mischief Raven-Feathered Cloak: $17.99
  
• Mischief Withered Broom: $19.99 (This prop offers your avatar a way to fly in all but the stormiest of places in the realms)

Items from earlier years of Days of Mischief will be back, too, for those who are interested. For all details on older items, please check out our patch notes for the event from previous years. As for the IGC (in-game currency) items introduced last year, the Goth Garment and Goth Boots will be 58 and 38 Candles respectively, and the Crabkin Accessory will be 36 Candles.

As usual, free trial spells from all items can be found in the event shop in Aviary Village.

And of course, the Secret Area accessible from the Vault of Knowledge is open to everyone while the event is running.

Days of Mischief will run from October 21st through November 10th Pacific Time. With tricks, pranks, spells, and transformations galore, there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy during Sky’s spookiest event of the year!

0.26.5 included our first set of new Daily Quests. Now in 0.27.0, we’re including another round that we hope you’ll enjoy! Perhaps you’ll discover new ways that the Spirits of Sky are connected to the realms, and to each other.

(We’ve also included some small changes related to using the counter where these Spirits wait, which you may also notice!)


Starting in 0.27.0, when you go to unlock an item that’s available in the Nesting Workshop rotation, you can find them sold as individual items rather than in sets of two or more.

Once you unlock an item from the Nesting Workshop, it's now also possible to get additional copies of it while editing a Shared Space. When you’ve placed all the copies you have of that item, a “+” symbol will appear on its icon if additional copies can be purchased.

We hope this makes it easier to enjoy the items you like at the pace that you want!


Beginning in this update, when logging into Sky, iOS and Android players will have the option to link their Sky account to a Twitch account. (If you’re on another platform, don’t worry—we’ll bring that option to more platforms in future updates!)

For more information about account linking, see our FAQ page:
https://thatgamecompany.helpshift.com/hc/en/17-sky-children-of-the-light/faq/703-how-do-i-save-my-progress/

Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 am Pacific Time on Sunday November 3rd, moving clocks back an hour. Time notation for events in Sky will change from PDT (UTC -7) to PST (UTC -8).

If you are in a region that does not observe this time change, after November 3rd the daily reset will occur an hour later for you.

• A new type of accessories category for face items. This allows avatars to wear glasses and earrings or glasses and head accessories at the same time. We also updated the icons for some cosmetics, as well as those used for the neck accessory and head accessory categories.
  
• 0.27.0 includes a few more changes to the new player experience. One which players with more experience may encounter depending on how many Spirits they’ve met: If you’ve rescued a Spirit but haven’t brought them to the temple in their realm, they will now follow behind you until you bring them to their temple. Other changes include:
  
  • Adjustments to the social space in Daylight Prairie to make it easier for new players to understand where to go.
    
  • In Hidden Forest, the beacon hint shows when a new player calls.
    
  • The end of the cutscenes after completing a Spirit’s memory quest are a bit shorter.
    
  • Move the Winged Light that was near the gate between Daylight Prairie’s Butterfly Fields and Village area; it will now be in the Daylight Prairie social area.
    
  • In Isle of Dawn, the Winged Light at the temple will appear in that location only the first time that a new player collects it. Once they progress to Daylight Prairie, when they need to collect that Winged Light again it will appear near the exit of the first tunnel in Isle of Dawn, at the remains of the boat.
• One of the feedback topics we’ve been hearing from the community was about the tea tables and their chat functions—namely, that it often felt confusing that chat wasn’t possible without drinking a full cup of tea for some tables but not others. From 0.27.0, chat becomes possible at any tea table after only one sip of tea.
  
• The “You are about to be reborn” text has been added back into the game.
  
• Spells activated from the emote favorites menu can now be canceled from the emote favorites menu.
  
• Increased the max number of spells that can be used at the same time to five.
  
• Thai localization has now been added.

Highlights

• Camera hints for Spirits’ memory quests should now only trigger if both of these conditions are met: you have not completed that Spirit’s memory quest before, and you also haven’t opted in to participate in doing that memory quest again.
  
• Freshly served Light goodies in the Elevated Clearing won’t sink if you don’t burn them before the Spirit brings out the next batch of goodies.
  
• Fixed an issue where some expressions, spells, and stances would not be saved in the emote favorites menu after the game was restarted.
  
• [PC] Screenshots save properly to the Steam screenshot directory.
  
• [PC] Player can move around while having an instrument equipped.

[Edit 2024.10.10] An earlier version of the patch notes indicated that a Winged Light would appear after the exit of the first tunnel in Isle of Dawn. This change is related to updates for new players; an updated description of this change has been added to the “Other Updates” section above.


Gameplay

• Fixed a bug with the Guide system that would prevent handholding between the guiding player and the player that requested assistance
  
• When a player leading someone by handhold views a Shared Space followed by a Shared Memory, the player being led by handhold should no longer see the Shared Space pop in and out in a loop.
  
• Restored the ability to chat at the table near the Aviary Village archway counter once Daily Quests are completed.
  
• Meter that indicates how many props you can add to the Nest should be more accurate when adding or removing props.
  
• Fixed a bug where the shadowy creatures in the Fire Trial would turn into dark spheres if you touched them after meditating at the trial’s shrine, instead of making them disappear.
  
• Skipping cutscenes when reliving a Spirit’s memory in the Valley of Triumph Dreams Village should no longer relocate the player elsewhere in the level.
  
• Fixed a bug for Season of Remembrance quests that caused prompts to follow Spirits to their preferred location to be missing.
  
• Fixed a bug involving the Daily Quest counter in Aviary Village that caused Spirits a player hadn’t met yet to rotate and face them when they were interacted with.
  
• Some Daily Quests on specific dates were not being translated to supported languages. This should now be resolved.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented the Sleepy Traveling Merchant from appearing for some players.
  
• In cases where copying text is not supported, the option for the copy text function has been disabled.
  
• Relationship menu options that are inactive due to piggyback, handholding, carry, etc. can no longer be selected. This will resolve several issues, among them an issue where players in Cradle Carry could force and be forced to hold hands with other players.
  
• When activating a spell, the spell description should now more accurately indicate whether it affects only you (for example, the pinwheel spell), or both yourself and friends you’re holding hands with.
  
• Fixed a privacy bug related to Nests: When two friends each enter their own Nests at the same time, they can no longer see any chat messages sent by the other player.
  
• A Winged Light should no longer appear in the wrong location for the Map Shrine in Daylight Prairie Village.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the guiding beacon to appear behind you in some areas instead of appearing in front of you to guide you to where you probably actually want to go.
  
• Emote favorites menu will now close when you go AFK.
  
• When using a gamepad, ​​a player carrying someone with piggyback is better able to move forward in a straight line.
  
• Controller should no longer vibrate constantly after cutscenes in the Hidden Forest Temple.
  
• Fixed a bug that showed certain Daily Quests at incorrect locations on the Map Shrine.
  
• Daily Quests can be turned in without sitting at the counter near the archway in Aviary Village.

Cosmetics

• When sitting down with the “sneak” stance while wearing the Bearhug Hermit’s cape, your avatar’s face will no longer clip through the cape.
  
• Resolved some shadowy texture issues when the Duets cello is equipped.
  
• Sky kids’ upper arms won’t deflate in certain poses when wearing the Pianist’s Flourishing suit from Season of Duets.
  
• Fixed a bug that could prevent plushies from being visible to other players.
  
• The Princess’s mask from Season of the Nine-Colored Deer fits properly when the avatar is wearing the Sunlight Beach Shorts outfit.
  
• Resolved a subtle but old skinning issue with some of the umbrellas causing flickering discoloration while opened, or that seemed to add random small bits of material to the umbrella itself.
  
• It’s no longer possible to take an in-game photo while previewing a Shared Memory that uses the photo camera prop, since this only results in a broken image.
  
• While under the effects of the Crab Curse Spell, using the dash movement will no longer prevent the camera props from being used after the spell has ended.
  
• The remaining backpacks used when wearing some props have all been updated to use the New & Improved version that has already been used for other props.
  
• When a player holds hands with someone and is being led by them, when they equip an instrument and then start walking, the instrument placement won’t float oddly in front of them.
  
• Plushies no longer jitter, and they don't drop when flying.

General Fixes and Improvements:

• Fixed an animation bug where players could look misaligned when they used the cradle carry interaction.
  
• Avatars summoned from the Friend Constellation now appear properly holding out their unlit candle instead of having their arms clipping inward awkwardly.
  
• When the player places the Kettle prop and another player picks up the Big Manta Plush while seated at the Kettle, the plush should no longer be placed horizontally.
  
• Fixed the odd and frankly painful-looking contortions that could happen to Sky kids’ legs when doing flips in flight.
  
• When another player near you unlocks a new stance, their stance should more reliably be visible to you.
  
• When a friend reaches the very end of Eye of Eden with you, their hand will no longer be stuck being held above their head.
  
• Side hug animation should look better when swimming.
  
• Fixes for the orange wifi symbol sometimes showing even during a stable internet connection.
  
• Players should no longer be able to bypass cooldowns on props (like the fireworks staff) by spamming inputs in the favorite emotes menu.
  
• Plushies are for hugging, and we would be heartbroken if they were ever accidentally set on fire. So, to improve fire safety, Sky kids will no longer be able to hold a plushie at the same time they hold out a candle to offer friendship to another player.
  
• Fixed a bug where the confirmation menu is cut off when purchasing the Journey Pack on devices with a smaller screen.
  
• Memory Shrine text should no longer overlap with the AURORA concert countdown timer.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused UI objects to disappear when a player transitioned between levels while the Sky Codes option was open in the settings menu.
  
• Invited another round of Spirits to the optimization club to reduce clipping issues and avoid awkward cape placement caused by the shoulder piece, among other things. This includes several Spirits from Hidden Forest and Golden Wasteland, plus a handful of Spirits from across the other realms.
  
• Fixed bug affecting instrument spells where the instrument menu remained open after the spell expired.
  
• Fixed a visual glitch in the Aviary Village outfits area where the level would disappear based on where you were standing.
  
• Camera no longer randomly zooms in and out when swimming in Prairie Peaks.
  
• Updated the mask from the Waving Bellmaker, namely to fix the metallic forehead.
  
• [iOS] iPads that use external peripherals like track pads should have more reliable flight control.
  
• [PC] Currency symbol properly appears next to prices in the in-game shop menu.
  
• [PC] Placing props in the level should now be possible with left mouse button (it was previously bound to the spacebar).
  
• The rock went wandering one night, enjoying the gentle light from the moon and stars. While sitting under a tree, they noticed Sky kids leaving riddles for each other. Wanting to join in on the fun, the rock made their own:
  
  "What's the BEST, most AMAZING, CUTEST creature in the whole wide world? You'd better say jellyfish!"
  
  ...Rocks aren't very good at riddle games.

Certain Seasons bring special opportunities to experience Sky in new ways. Season of the Little Prince and Season of AURORA brought classic tales and touching moments to life through a unique Sky lens. Now a new collaboration comes to Sky with Season of Moomin, a magical universe that blends whimsical storytelling with themes of healing, friendship, and resilience.


Running October 14th through December 29th, the Season of Moomin will immerse players in the transformative story of Ninny the Invisible Child. Join this beloved character from Tove Jansson’s time-honored Moomin books as Ninny faces her fears, overcomes obstacles, and gains wisdom.


Season of Moomin offers fresh visuals and gameplay, and we’re not just talking about the new forest landscape in Moominvalley. The Season will feature three types of quests to explore Moomin stories in unique ways.

As you enter Moominvalley, you’ll notice your Sky child taking on the form of a butterfly, symbolizing transformation and growth. You’ll meet the Moomin family and their friends as you guide Ninny through a whimsical valley where her story is told, each step bringing her closer to her true self. The very environment around you mirrors her journey, gradually blooming into vibrant hues as she emerges from the grey shadows of her past.


The Moomin Storybook arrives as your guide to the Season with a host of things for your Sky child to enjoy! It offers a new expression that perfectly captures the feeling of being immersed in another world, plus a cozy family portrait that can be unlocked for regular Candles. Season Pass holders will have the opportunity to unlock three Ultimate Gifts from the Storybook’s Friendship Tree, too.

This Season Guide is also where all the Moomin quests begin. As the Season unfolds, the Storybook offers more chapters to dive into, and a variety of quests each provide distinct perspectives through the eyes of the Moomins and the eyes of your own Sky child.

Along the way you'll have the chance to unlock themed items that capture the Season—outfits inspired by the Moomin characters, capes, hairstyles, an instrument, and more.

Two outfits in particular grant a brand new partial invisibility effect, reflecting part of Ninny’s own story. While your avatar’s clothing and capes remain visible, the subtle transparency adds its own meaningful layer to the Season’s narrative.

Special collaboration items can also be purchased during the Season! These limited items include ear and tail accessories inspired by the brave and friendly Moomintroll, and outfit items inspired by Snufkin, a free-spirited wanderer.

Stay tuned as well for the 0.27.5 update, which will bring a soon-to-be-announced cape that offers a memorable way to carry a piece of Moominvalley with you throughout Sky. These special collaboration items are currently planned to be available only until the end of the Season.


Once the Season begins, the Moomin Storybook will be waiting for you near the gate to the Vault of Knowledge (if you’re new to Sky, it will show up for you after your intro. Be sure to get to at least Hidden Forest if you don’t see it). Simply talk to the Storybook to reveal its Friendship Tree—it offers the ability to teleport to the special seasonal area and start your quests.

Sky’s next Season brings countless memorable moments to carry with you through your Sky journeys. The beloved characters of Moominvalley are waiting to welcome you into their story, to explore alongside Ninny and experience the transformations that are possible through kindness and compassion. On October 14th, see what the Season’s story holds for you. We’ll see you in the skies!

Step into the spotlight, Sky kids—it’s time to unleash your inner fashion icon! The highly anticipated Days of Style event is back, bringing even more flair, fun, and opportunities to shine.

Whether this is your first runway walk or you're a seasoned style pro, get ready to embrace this year's themes with a fresh twist.

From September 30 through October 13, the Style Guide Spirit will be waiting in Home and Aviary Village, eager to whisk you away to fashion runways hidden within Sky’s beautiful realms. This year, we’re introducing four new runway locations, each debuting a unique theme. Think of it as a rotating showcase for your imagination!

Design outfits that truly capture the essence of each theme—whether bold, whimsical, chaotic, or elegant—and don’t worry about missing the perfect accessory! Temporary closets will be nearby, packed with items to borrow so that you can create the ultimate look. Let your avatar be a living work of art, and get ready to wow the crowd.

Once your avatar is ready, use the Shared Memory Shrine to strut your stuff and share your personalized interpretation with the entire Sky community. It’s not just about fashion—it’s about connection. By sharing your runway moments, you might help inspire your friends or even fellow Sky children who you haven’t met!

For this year’s event, we’ve revamped how you earn event currency, making it bigger, better, and brighter! Event currency will appear as large, shining blue orbs of Light, scattered around the stage.

Collect up to five event currency every day: Enough Light for four event currency can be found around the runway, while Light for a fifth can be earned by watching other players’ Shared Memory at the Shrine.

As you gather this dazzling Light, you’ll fill up your event currency meter. Once it’s complete, you can forge a unit of event currency to unlock some truly special items that might just fuel your next creative ensemble!

Looking to add some extra dazzle to your wardrobe? This year’s Days of Style event brings three new glamorous items, and last year’s items are also returning, so if you missed out, now’s your chance to complete your collection. (For the full list of items, don’t forget that you can check our patch notes.)

Whether you're going for dashing or dazzling, this event has everything you need to make your mark on the runway. So, grab your cape, perfect your pose, and get ready to shine. We’ll see you in the skies!

Life can be hectic, and sometimes what you need is a peaceful evening to take in the beauty of the space around you. A new event arrives soon in Sky for you to do just that: Days of Moonlight!


Deep in the Crescent Oasis, a tranquil retreat awaits. Starting on September 16th, the Moonlight Guide Spirit will help you travel this area, newly decorated for the occasion. A silvery moon shines above the stately tree that calls the oasis home, and nearby paper lanterns are ready to create a magical atmosphere.

Days of Moonlight is for taking moments to exchange riddles with friends. Underneath a starry sky, the lanterns invite you to create a riddle for fellow Sky Children to solve.

Or perhaps you’d rather see what riddles your friends have written—browse among the lanterns to answer whichever ones you’d like! Sure, answering a riddle will reveal event currency, but it may also help you see the world around you in new and surprising ways.

Enjoy the serenity the oasis offers to those who slow down: deep sapphire skies, golden leaves of an ancient tree, the bright silver moon, gentle clouds and rippling waters.

Sky photographers have no shortage of beautiful scenery to take in, and a little bit of exploration might lead the way to breathtaking views of the moon as well.

Perhaps the moon will even be your muse! Countless artists have found their inspiration in moonlight, so bring an instrument or spells for a Player Creation—you too may find yourself inspired to create something for the moment!

If your inspiration is more focused on style, choose from four new items to capture a souvenir of the event. Two can even be unlocked with event currency. Five event currency can be found each day in the Crescent Oasis and by answering the riddles fellow Sky Children write for you. (For those who are curious for details about upcoming items, don’t forget to check our patch notes[thatgamecompany.helpshift.com]!)


Days of Moonlight is a chance to slow down, reflect, and take in a peaceful evening with friends. From September 16th through 29th, an oasis of glowing lanterns and glittering stars is open to everyone to enjoy. We’ll see you in the skies!

Greetings, Adventurers! This update brings the remaining chapters of Season of Duets, plus a suite of events and features. Days of Sunlight, Days of Moonlight, Days of Style, plus improvements for your gameplay experience—it’s a big update with something for everyone!


The music of the Season continues as we finally learn more about the Compassionate Cellist and the memories they hold. Be sure to check in with the Duets Guide as the last two Seasonal Quests become available in this update!

Completing the 4th quest will bring you one step closer to revealing the Season’s full story—and it will also reveal the Cellist’s Friendship Tree, which contains items that can be unlocked with regular Candles. These will continue to be available after the Season ends, just like the IGC (in-game currency) items and expressions in the Duets Guide’s tree.

What won’t be available after the Season ends, though, are the Ultimate instrument and prop that the Duets Guide offers. Season Pass holders can complete Daily Quests and gather golden Seasonal Candles to unlock your way to the Seasonal Hearts that these Ultimate Gifts require!

Season of Duets continues until 23:59 on September 29th (all times PDT, UTC -7).

By the way, related to that—


From September 9th through 15th, the realms might seem a little brighter! Keep an eye out for four extra Seasonal Candle locations in the realms, and you’ll be able to gather an additional Seasonal Candle each day.

There will also be double Treasure Candles scattered across two realms each day. Find all eight for a boost to your Candle run!


Days of Sunlight is back from August 26th through September 8th (that is, starting at 00:00 on the first day and going through 23:59 on the last day—the usual start and end times for events in the game)! For two weeks, escape to the Elevated Clearing and make new memories with friends and Spirits!

Gather with the scouts or with fellow Sky kids around a cozy campfire to enjoy some toasty Light snacks (which will also feed your Candle count), or to make music with the event Spirits. If you’re looking to spend a little energy, the Elevated Clearing is practically a playground with diving boards, waterslides, and more. Plus, if you look around, you might find some baby jellyfish who could use some help to make their way through the world.

As you roam through the area, you can gather up to six event currency every day:

• 4 placed around the event space
  
• 2 from taking part in event activities

New Event Items

• Sunlight Manta Float: 20 event currency
  
• Sunlight Beach Shorts outfit: 30 event currency
  
• Sunlight Helios Hoops earrings: $2.99 (all prices USD)
  
• Sunlight Woven Wrap cape: $14.99

And yes, all items from past years will return too! It’s a pretty long list at this point, so for all details on older items, please check out our patch notes[thatgamecompany.helpshift.com] for the event from previous years. As for the beach towel capes that were event currency last year, they’ll be available for regular in-game currency (110 Candles for the yellow one, 140 Candles for the blue one, and 30 Hearts for the pink one).

Items are available in the in-game shop in the settings menu, the Aviary Village event shop, and of course from the Event Guide. Keep an eye out for trial spells in the Elevated Clearing and in the event shop, too!


Revel in the beauty of a full moon and the light of glowing lanterns. From September 16th through 29th, a new event opens in the Crescent Oasis for Sky kids to enjoy.

Special mediation pads in Home and the Aviary Village event shop will transport you to the starry skies of the event area. There you can find a spot for hanging lanterns, where you can also try your hand at answering riddles.

You can also stop by a nearby table with snacks that will provide you with Light, too!

Five event currency are available each day:

• 3 from participating in the riddles activity
  
• 2 placed around the Crescent Oasis

Event items:

• Moonlight Blossom Accessory: 17 event currency
  
• Moonlight Lantern Decoration: 32 event currency
  
• Moonlight Earrings: $2.99
  
• Moonlight Frock and Updo: $14.99 - Includes an outfit and a hairstyle

Items can be found in the in-game shop or unlocked from the Event Guide Spirit. Don’t forget about the free trial spells for all items, which can be found in the event shop and in the Crescent Oasis.


From September 30th through October 13th, your avatar is your canvas! The Style Guide is back, and they’re inviting you to create a unique ensemble that captures special themes to share on runways located throughout the realms.

Check with the Style Guide each day to teleport you to a fashion runway placed in one of Sky’s levels. Locations will rotate regularly, and this year will include four new locations too!

At each one, use a Shared Memory Shrine to express yourself and share your interpretation of the theme (you’ll get some Light in the process of making those Shared Memories too).

And don’t worry—each location includes a range of cosmetics you can temporarily borrow if you feel like your own closet selection doesn’t get the theme quite right.

New Event Items

• Style Darkness Fascinator: 15 event currency
  
• Style Dazzling Dress: 34 event currency
  
• Style Dapper Trio: $14.99 - This set includes a dapper-looking outfit, a tie styled after one of the realms’ creatures, and a stylish monocle.

These can be found in the Style Guide’s Friendship Tree and in the in-game shop.

As for last year’s items, they’ll all be back too—find them in the Aviary Village event shop! For extra details on those, please refer to the patch notes for Days of Style from last year.

Meanwhile, items introduced for event currency last year will be available for Candles and Hearts (72 Candles for the Style Star Sunglasses, 30 Candles for the Style Runway Mask, 13 Hearts for the Style Silk Ballet Slippers, and 12 Ascended Candles for the Style Top Hat). These can also be unlocked in the Style Guide’s Friendship Tree!

And yes, here too you’ll find free trial spells for all new and returning Days of Style items in the event shop.

Beginning with Days of Style, event currency can be earned incrementally, similar to how currency like regular Candles and Seasonal Candles are typically gathered.

In Days of Style this year, all event currency will be available as event currency Light. It will appear as blue orbs that are quite a bit larger than Light from Candles. It will fill up your event currency meter the way that regular Light fills your Candle meter, and you can forge a unit of currency once the meter is full.

We’re keeping it simple for this event: All event currency will be available as event currency Light, which you can find around the stage area and by viewing other player’s recordings at the event’s Shared Memories Shrine, for up to 5 event currency each day.

Meanwhile, event currency Light creates new possibilities for future events, so the team is brainstorming all kinds of ideas that we hope to share in events to come!


The Memories of Ancient Light and Ancient Darkness will be paying a special visit to the realms!

From September 16th through 29th, the Guide from Season of Shattering will appear in Home and the Aviary Village event shop. Check with this Spirit to access the two ancient memories and unlock items originally from this Season!

Through the Void of Shattering, you'll also be able to check your progress on Season of Shattering Quests. To complete those quests, clear the Darkness that appears when Shard Eruptions of varying strength fall in the realms.

During SkyFest in July, you may have seen our blog post[www.thatskygame.com] about plans over time to update Daily Quests and other types of quests in Sky. 0.26.5 includes the first round of updates that bring Spirits back into the Daily Quests, introduce new quest activities, and add some quality of life improvements too.

0.26.5 will introduce 18 brand new Daily Quests. As you look out for them, you might notice that some of them are connected to each other...
For these new quests, even if you forget to unlock them in Aviary Village or Home, if you interact with the Spirit in the realms who the quest is connected to, it will add the quest to your list. There will also be a popup asking if you want to start the quest now.

Some of the other changes you’ll see:

• In Aviary Village, you can get Daily Quests by talking to Spirits waiting for you at the archway counter, who will ask for your help with something that they care about. This will replace the use of the Daily Quest statue in Aviary, which will still remain to represent the Return Shrine. (There’s no change to how you’ll get Daily Quests in Home.)
  
• If a quest needs you to go somewhere in the realms, the location of that quest will be shown on map shrines after you pick up the quest.
  
• If you haven’t “met” a Daily Quest Spirit yet, it will be stationary and blue until you relive their memories out in the realms.
  
• For the new quests, to get your Candle you can either return to the Spirits in Aviary, the quest statue in Home, or by interacting with the Spirit in the quest level after you finish their quest.

Note that for the new quests, if you haven’t already seen the memory of the Spirit offering it, the Spirit will ask you to relive their memory before unlocking its Daily Quest. In that case, the map shrine will show you where you can do that!

Like we mentioned in the blog post, our longer term plan is to revamp and improve the entire quest system. Daily Quests will be a way to experience miniature stories and relationships with the Spirits, and ultimately connect you more closely with the world of Sky.

This is just the very first step, so we’ll have more to share in future patch notes!

Developer Note: There are so many Spirits in Sky with unique stories to tell. We’re excited to start exploring their interests, relationships, goals, and lives with some new daily quests coming out this patch. Each quest is small, to fit into the quick pace of dailies, but all together we hope to paint a fuller picture of who these characters are and what they care about. :)

Many more of these quests will be coming your way in the coming months, focusing on Spirits from other Seasons and on the core Spirits. But in the longer term beyond that, we’re taking the opportunity to make the daily quests more personal, and also to make them easier to find and play with friends. This patch has our first steps in that direction. Thank you for playing! <3


There are dozens of emotes you can use to express yourself in Sky, and in 0.26.5 we’re excited to introduce a feature to make it easier to use the ones you like best!

Access this new favorites menu in a few different ways:

• In the main Expression menu for a one-time tutorial (more on that in a second)
  
• By pressing and holding on the cape meter
  
• Pressing Z on your keyboard or pressing the middle mouse button
  
• Pressing L2 on your controller

This will display a wheel with slots for eight actions from the expression menu, and you’ll be able to add or remove any expression (or more) that you want for a slot.

When you first log into Sky after downloading this update, a star button will appear in the Expression menu. Tap it for a quick explanation of how to use the feature. It will disappear after finishing the tutorial. (For brand new players, this will appear once they reach Vault of Knowledge.)

This feature should make it easier to spam your favorite emotes, prepare your best dance moves, or even choreograph your next Shared Memory!


The Friendship Constellation is a record of all the connections we’ve made in Sky. Sometimes though, it’s helpful to be able to adjust our Constellations, particularly if we play with some Sky kids less often than we used to, or if we want to be able to welcome new friends into a crowded Constellation.

This update introduces a function that allows players to unfriend someone while viewing their avatar in the Friendship Constellation. This works differently from blocking, which prevents the blocked player from interacting with the person who blocked them, for example.

With unfriending:

• The unfriended player is removed from your Constellation.
  
• All relationship abilities between you and the other person are disabled (including chat).
  
• It’s possible to meet someone you unfriended. If that happens, you and the unfriended player will appear as strangers to each other if you meet again in-game.
  
• If you light their avatar, there will be an icon over their head to indicate that they are someone you unfriended.

If you meet someone you unfriended, both of you have the option of rekindling your friendship at no additional Candle cost. All previously unlocked relationship abilities will be restored.

• Cutscene autoskip toggle: This option to automatically skip cutscenes has been added to the settings menu under the graphics option. When it's enabled, skippable cutscenes will automatically be skipped as long as the player has watched them at least once before.
  
  • Cutscenes that can’t be automatically skipped are typically the kind that lead to a physical change in the world—for example, a door opening. In that case, players will keep control of the camera while the door opens according to the normal laws of physics instead of flashing open from one frame to the next.
    
  • If you have feedback about the cutscene autoskip toggle, please share it with us in our feedback channel on Discord or comments in our feedback threads in our official Facebook group!

• The team recently began working on a project that will ultimately allow us to get updates and fixes to players more quickly. This is still a work in progress, but in some cases, it may result in this message when starting the game: “Downloading latest content.” That’s related to the project that the team is working on, so it isn’t a bug.

• As part of the Daily Quest updates, quest progress updates will now show up during cutscenes, if applicable. The full list of all daily quests will remain hidden.
  
• The rest of the Light treats that the Spirit gives in the Elevated Clearing have come back down to earth so that Sky Children can easily gather them again.
  
• When using a controller, now the Friendship Menu and the prompts to hold a friend’s hand or to follow them take priority over other interaction prompts.
  
• Opening an umbrella while being carried should now protect both the carried player and the person carrying them from rain damage.
  
• Using the Wind Paths to reach Hermit Valley should no longer bounce you back into the level you came from.

• Fixed a bug that was draining the breath meter and energy from AFK players being carried by piggyback while underwater.
  
• Spamming handhold in Vault of Knowledge should no longer cause players to sink below the floor.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur in Harmony Hall when initiating a jam session.
  
• Music can be very entrancing, but not so entrancing that it leads to bugs like the one that prevented Dark Crabs from attacking players who were playing instruments while seated—so that bug’s been fixed.
  
• Festival tech reaction menu won’t show up when a fullscreen menu is visible.
  
• Fixed a bug that could prevent a player from renaming a recently added friend, or from properly using the handhold, carry, and cradle carry interactions.
  
• UI for viewing Player Creations should appear when you are viewing them alongside/”over the shoulder” of a friend who’s also viewing them.
  
• Updated the bass part in the Duets music sheet to be one octave higher to improve the music when being played.
  
• For new players: The Aviary Village Spell shop should no longer be accessible before the entrance is unblocked.
  
• When the hint text after the Elder cutscene in Prairie Temple shows how to make a big call, making a regular (small) call will no longer circumvent the tutorial and potentially mislead new players.
  
• Another bug that could similarly impact new players: Fixed a bug during the big call tutorial that shows new players how butterflies can help them fly, which allowed the player to move if they had the expression menu open.

• Duet Guide’s suit tailcoat outfit won’t look deformed when you kneel.
  
• Resolved the SkyFest wireframe cape clipping with avatar’s neck.
  
• After riding the snowboard to transition out of one area or level, you won’t be standing on an invisible platform when you appear in the next one.
  
• Nearby players should no longer see the snowboard disconnected from the feet of the player who’s riding the snowboard.
  
• We reminded the Ultimate Gift lantern from Season of Remembrance that no one’s light is diminished when others—or their candles—are allowed to shine. As a result, we resolved cases where placing and then lighting the Ultimate Gift lantern would temporarily prevent players in the level from being able to take out their candle.
  
• Fixed the slow slide animation that occurred from a player’s perspective when someone else sat down on a nearby prop.

• If you have set Aviary Village as your loading point and are in Aviary Village, the settings menu will not display the “Return Home” option. The same applies for players in Home who have set that as their loading point.
  
• The text displaying your Winged Light count is now bold, and the appearance of wedges in the energy meter has been updated.
  
• Fixed issues with the player’s reflection during a specific sequence during Season of Duets' third quest.
  
• Sky children will properly walk after using the cello or violin instruments via the instrument rack, instead of gliding oddly over the ground.
  
• During the first Season of Duets quest, instruments with sustain should no longer hold that sustain when you swap to a different instrument.
  
• Restored the missing sound effect when interacting with the hammer icon while editing a Shared Space.
  
• Avatar won’t randomly jitter while using the Candle Trick Spell.
  
• Players using the carry interaction while under the effects of huge, grow, shrink, or tiny spells should not clip into each other as much as they used to (there may still be a bit of clipping, due to strange bending of the laws of Sky physics that occurs when such powerful magic is used).
  
• Avatar won’t contort during the “Exhale Inhale” song in the AURORA Concert.
  
• Reduced particles on the tree in Crescent Oasis to improve frame rate on certain devices.
  
• When in photo mode, legends should respect the HUD margins better than before.
  
• After sending a gift of Light to a friend who is online, the icon to send a Light gift will stop displaying.
  
• Wi-fi symbol should no longer interfere with text hints at the bottom of the screen.
  
• Fixed a bug with the map shrine where zooming in on the beacon icon on a map and then selecting the beacon would have no effect.
  
• Haptic feedback will no longer occur when crabs attack another player, and will only occur when you are attacked.
  
• Fixed cases where the UI buttons for screenshot, record video, and chat would still appear on the screen after signing out on platforms that support signing out of a Sky account.
  
• Increased the distance that the grand piano can be heard from when someone else is playing it, so that now it can be heard throughout the concert hall if someone’s playing it onstage, appropriately enough.
  
• Fixed bug that automatically translated all text when viewing Player Creations.
  
• Updated the placement of the Support icon in the Settings menu.
  
• [iPad] Addressed a bug that could cause players in Home to get stuck while watching the Season introduction.
  
• [Mobile] Fixed a bug with the Friendship Constellation that prevented a player from manually creating new favorite friends pages when they moved a friend's star and viewing a non-favorite page.

Clear streams, peaceful glades, enchanting wildlife—the golden hillsides of the Hidden Forest are just the place to beat the heat. Starting August 26th, escape to a balmy corner of the realms to make new memories with friends and Spirits during Days of Sunlight!


Tucked in the Elevated Clearing, a band of adventurous Spirits will welcome you to a Sky kid leisure land. Gather with the scouts or with friends around a cozy campfire to enjoy some toasty Light snacks (which will also feed your Candle count). It’s a great spot to share stories, but if you prefer music to words, check with the Spirits to jam together in ensemble mode!

Maybe your ideal afternoon is simply chilling on the water and floating with the sounds of the breeze and the jellyfish? This year, grab a new item that’s the perfect prop for this! Kick back along on a manta-shaped inflatable tube, ready for whichever stream, lake, or ocean you want to relax in. (Use a manta call while honking to really feel like you’re one with nature.)

If you want a more active change of pace though, the Elevated Clearing is your playground! Diving boards and water slides are set up for you to make a splash, and if you look around, you might find some baby jellyfish who could use some help to make their way through the world. Each of the Spirits will be out and about as the event unfolds, and no matter when you drop by, one of them will always be down for a friendly game of tag.

You can wear any outfit you want as you bask in the sunlight, but this year the event is bringing new items to choose from for the perfect souvenir! Gather event currency (six per day!) to unlock that manta float, not to mention a swimming outfit as well. The event also introduces a cape with just the right texture to keep your Sky kid cool in the heat of the sun, plus a pair of earrings inspired by the event’s golden rays, both available in the in-game shop.

Of course, you can experiment with new and returning cosmetics using trial spells, too. Find additional details in the event patch notes, which we’ll be sharing soon!

Whether paddling and swimming or floating and lounging, Days of Sunlight is a time to enjoy Sky life at a different pace. For two weeks starting August 26th, slow down and delight in what the world has to offer. We’ll see you in the skies!
