Mirthwood’s Night Of Falling Stars Update Brings Masquerade Party, Yuletide Celebration, New Crops And Recipes, And More To The Sim-Life RPG
Mirthwood, the medieval fantasy sim-life RPG from developer Bad Ridge Games and publisher V Publishing, launched last month on PC via Steam, and since then, the team has been hard at work on new content. Ahead of the holiday season, Bad Ridge Games has released the new Night of Falling Stars update that brings a mystery for players to solve during the magnificent masquerade that is the Starlight Ball.
This update also includes new questlines, expands the current map, and introduces a myriad of new mechanics, cosmetics, and more, like additional crops and recipes, helmet transmog, and reworked combat. Alongside this update, the team is excited to unveil its roadmap for Mirthwood throughout 2025 - check it out below!
During the Night of Falling Stars, the nobility of Turien have gathered to celebrate their opulence and throw a masquerade party for the ages - the Starlight Ball. Something’s amiss, though, because your invitation has arrived with seemingly no strings attached, yet your host appears to have some… ulterior motives. It’s up to you to unravel the complicated intricacies of the night’s attendees and solve the mysteries that unfold under the stars.
That’s not all that awaits Mirthwood players in the “Night of Falling Stars” update, however. Indulge your inner horticulturalist with new crops to plant and manage alongside new delicious recipes to cook, from farm to table. The addition of tea and beekeeping adds a perfect dose of coziness to your homestead experience. Plus, the highly requested fish creel is finally here as part of this update.
Dress for success with new couture items, including clothing, hats, and hairstyles that make their way into players’ wardrobes as part of today’s “Night of Falling Stars” update. The new Magic Mirror allows players to change their appearance. Plus, a new helmet vanity slot option allows players to showcase stylish headpieces while maintaining the defensive values of their base helmets - in other words, Mirthwood now features helmet transmog!
As it’s December, the team wanted to include something to celebrate the season. As part of today’s update, and every winter season moving forward, players can take part in a Yuletide celebration in Mirthwood that includes Yuletide-themed decor, clothing, and of course, food.
Alongside additional performance and stabilization patches that have happened since the game’s launch, Bad Ridge Games has recently reworked combat, and players should find action more engaging as a result. Stamina is now spent while performing combat actions or running, with the idea to curb move-spamming that made actions otherwise uninteresting. However, if you miss how combat was before this rework, you can disable the changes by choosing the “easy combat” option in the in-game settings.
Though today’s Night of Falling Stars update is the last of 2024 for Mirthwood, players can expect additional patches in the new year. Here’s a look at the roadmap for a refresher. Mirthwood instills a captivating sense of adventure while allowing you to choose your own path through its expansive world. Mirthwood is now available on Steam with a 15% discount during the Winter Sale!
