Hi Masters,

Patch notes are here! We’ve been working through your reports and focused this update on several issues you’ve been seeing in the Wilds. Habitats should now have more variety in Elemental Biomes, and we’ve added extra protection for Sidekicks so you don’t lose your chance to challenge them if a battle fails to start. Patch is scheduled to go live at 2:30PM ET, August 10, 2026.

Thank you for all of your feedback and bug reports through Discord and socials! We couldn't have done it without you.

Make sure to join Discord.gg/ghostgaming for more updates.

See you in the Wilds! 🖤

Highlights

  • NEW! More Habitat Variety! Elemental Biomes will now only spawn one of each Habitat type at a time, increasing Habitat variety and giving you more chances to encounter rarer spawns.

  • Added a safeguard when challenging Sidekicks. If the battle doesn’t start, the Sidekick will reappear so you can challenge it again.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Joy incorrectly targeting enemies instead of your team.

  • Fixed Tea Time prompting you to select a target when it should automatically target the caster.

  • Fixed Regrow granting an additional turn to its target instead of the caster.

  • Fixed an issue where Siphon and Rage could incorrectly lose stacks from damage or healing actions.

  • Fixed a bug where void bosses were incorrectly showing in the Codex.

  • Fixed an issue where Wild Sidekick nameplates did not scale correctly with different HUD Scale settings.

  • Fixed an issue where some material requirement tool tips could appear in the wrong place in the Power Up console.

  • Fixed a bug where Rover was showing an incorrect rarity.

  • Fixed a bug where large damage numbers showed up as 1!!!

  • Various art and SFX fixes and improvements.

August 10, 2026. Version 1.0.8

You guys are losing players since nerfing the secrets spawns. Atleast go back to week 1 where exotics and secrets were more common.

The problem isee is not enough bioms it is extremly hard to level up if you need a certain sidekick and element biom is not there this week or next week ,should either have more bioms on map or less time than a week for changing specially if you have 12plus elements and only releasing a few. Like right now iam stuck for a while to waiting to rebirth but it requires a fire fish and a nature fish isee fire fish last week and never seen anature fish .so if ihave to wait weeks to rebirth and level up because element or biom dont show up for weeks my interest in this game will fade and iwill be bored of it.so will stop playing.

Hi! My wife and I have been playing your game for three weeks now. We’ve reached 14 rebirth. We have the following problems:

1, We can’t find the Snowy Barklay (a wooden dog). I’m not sure if they existed during the Snow event (when there were fewer creatures). But now it’s impossible to find the creature (electric poodle and Snowy wooden dog)!!! We’re losing interest in the game.

2. In the past week, gold, diamond, and rainbow creatures stopped dropping. Entirely. Before, we would usually catch at least one in 1–2 hours of play. Now creatures above rank R simply don’t drop.

3. There are no biomes with rare creatures (mythical, exotic, and higher). We can catch mythical fish (fire and nature types) only during events (last week). In other words, I can’t do a reverse when there isn’t the right event.

4.There are no biomes on the map outside events (for example for foxes and wolves). My wife caught a cool wolf, but it requires Moon Mountain resources (Rimus) to upgrade. Therefore upgrading the wolf is impossible.

5.Since we’re not getting any diamond or rainbow creatures, we can’t push through the tower beyond level 190. We’ve hit the ceiling of upgrading the gold creatures we have, but can’t go further. Please consider implementing a mechanic that allows further upgrading of creatures (from common to gold, from gold to diamond, etc.), for example, through the reverse of a single creature. That is, I level it up again from level 1 but keep the accumulated skills, so I can reallocate them anew (since I didn’t level it well the first time). Also, perhaps develop or reverse the tower so it can be replayed and provide replayability.

6.MORE EXOTIC FRUITS! (I have 1 of all the time)

P.S.

Many thanks for your games!

Agreed on my end with my financee and I. Its extremely difficult to get the character orbs we need for secret and exotic rarity creatures because the biomes are so extremely rare for us to see. We're losing interest in the game because it feels like running into a brick wall if you decide to start trying to level and upgrade any creature in these really rare biomes.
