Creeping Winter Contents

New Missions

Creeping Winter will add 3 new missions in the game and it might be like the Jungle Awakens missions where there are 2 main missions and 1 secret mission.

New Mobs and Boss

The banner for Creeping Winter shows some mobs that weren't on the base game or Jungle Awakens DLC, which might probably be introduced along with the Creeping Winter DLC.

Frost Wraith (?)

One of the most noticeable enemies is the floating mob that looks like the Wraith encountered in the base game except it's icy now. This might also be the main boss of the DLC since it is wearing a crown with a menacing aura.

Frost Zombie (?)

Zombies covered in snow can be found everywhere on the banner which hints zombies that can inflict effects like Chilling on hit.

Ice Evoker (?)

Enough with the "Frost" names. This one looks like the Evoker from the base game but is now "Winter-y" and might summon frost familiars and icy spikes instead.

Arctic Wolf (?)

Looking harmless and possibly passive mobs, Arctic wolves are also seen in the banner and might behave the same as the Ocelots from the Jungle Awakens and attack other enemies. Kinda cute, too.

New Gear and Artifact

Expect all-new weapons and armors included that matches the theme of the DLC. Also, one of the characters in the banner is holding something that looks like a Frost Wand which may be a new artifact.

Free Update

Just like the Jungle Awakens DLC, there is also going to be a free update that adds all new content without you needing the Hero Pass! This update adds whole new features! They will even add the Blacksmith we have all been waiting for!

New Merchants

You will be able to save new merchant that you can encounter! They will be grateful enough that they will open shop in camp, givin you more options to spend your Emeralds! Two of the confirmed merchants are the Blacksmith, who will updgrade your gear for you, and the Gift Wrapper, allowing you to finally allow your to trade with your friends!

You will also be able to level up the merchants! Giving them more stock for you to buy!

Daily Trials

Daily Trials are going to be whole new challenges that appear everyday! The trials are going to drastictly change mechanics, making the game harder, more experimental and most importantly, fun! Learn more about it in the page below!
