The 4v4 hide-and-seek frenzy is officially down to clown as Mr Giggles’ Happyland opens for business during a Free Weekend, packed with haunting new props and cosmetics, as well as host migration and dedicated servers right around the corner.
Vaulted Sky Games and Coffee Stain, publisher of Valheim, Deep Rock Galactic, and Satisfactory, are pleased to announce a major new update for Midnight Ghost Hunt! Following its Steam Early Access Launch in March and Doll Factory update in May, players can now hunt and haunt the eerie Carnival map during the game’s first Free Weekend until September 26th.
Littered with multiple Jack-in-a-Box Hero props – great for jumpscares – as well as clowns and unicycles, Carnival offers a range of different areas to explore within Mr Giggles’ Happyland. Cower in the foul monster mouth corridor of the Haunted House, snipe ghosts from the top of the merry-go-round, or zoom round the Wild West Saloon’s bumper car circuit, all backed by the unnerving musical atmosphere of off-key funfair jingles and even a self-playing piano.
Also coming with Update 2 are big changes that make matches far easier to maneuver. Much-requested by the community, dedicated servers are in the works, as is host migration so the lobby host can be transferred to another party member. These features will be coming very soon after Update 2 launches.
With a new update comes new Hunter cosmetics and a new Ghost ability! Players who tend to play the healer of the team can now make use of the Paramedic Hunter skin, while others who are a little too relaxed in their ghost-hunting efforts can become the Old Hippy – not to mention the dashing Pilot for the leaders of the group. But not to fear, Ghosts can get the edge too with a new ability, Deflector, which allows for a 5-second shield to defend from incoming projectiles. What’s more, by completing challenges, the titles Apprentice, Master, Grandmaster, and Legend can now be unlocked.
