It’s time to get spooky in VR! Psytec Games has rolled out update v1.0.42 for Titan Isles on Meta Quest and SteamVR, just in time for Halloween. The new patch introduces the Hollowlight Festival, a limited-time seasonal event packed with festive challenges, eerie visuals, and thrilling new activities that transform the floating world of Titan Isles into a haunted playground.
A Spooky Celebration Takes Over Clouds Edge
At the heart of the update is the Hollowlight Festival, which officially begins on October 23 (00:00 EDT | 05:00 BST | 06:00 CEST | October 22 at 21:00 PDT). For a limited time, players can dive into two brand-new event modes — The Haunted Run and Pumpkin Panic — both designed to test speed, precision, and exploration skills in a Halloween-themed twist.
The Haunted Run: Race for the Pumpkins
The Haunted Run is a new collection race where players must navigate through Clouds Edge while gathering every glowing pumpkin along the way. Speed and agility are key — only the fastest witches and wizards will reach the finish line before the clock runs out.
Pumpkin Panic: Smash and Dash
For players looking for an intense challenge, Pumpkin Panic offers a 60-second time trial that tasks you with destroying every pumpkin target hidden across Clouds Edge. Complete the challenge in time, and you’ll unlock an exclusive Hollowlight Festival trophy — a permanent in-game reward that remains visible even after the event concludes.
