Hello everyone!

After a few days of discussion with you, as well as between us, we have decided to open a Trello Board to follow all the progress of the different tasks for each new update. We will keep improving the game in order to make it even better! That's why we are proud to announce the release of our 24th Nightmare update. You can read all the changes made for this update below, we recommend that you join our Discord Server to be able to communicate with the team but also the community.

Temporary Content

Halloween is coming to Nightmare from October 27 to 7th November. Get excited for exclusive event themed skins and items !


The Halloween Event is broken down into 4 zones:

  • Spooky Town : Shaped like a Pumpkin, Spooky Town is the main town where all the monsters gather to buy things with their Candy Corn - The main currency within Spooky Town,
  • Cryptic Cathedral : The first dungeon - An underground burial grounds where the walls are made out of the skeletons of Spooky Town,
  • The Catacombs : The second dungeon - An Ancient Cathedral dating back 10,000 years. Complete this dungeon by working as a team with other players,
  • Spooky Dungeon (Raid) : Little is known about this event... But legend has it that tributing 10,000 Candy Corn at the altar will cause something to happen...
