Overview
- Kinetic Games set the player character update for May 5 on all platforms, with no exact launch time announced as outlets only estimate a morning CT/UTC window based on past patterns.
- The patch rebuilds ghost hunter avatars with new models, movement, and broad customization, including hair, facial options, and outfit pieces that let players define a distinct look.
- All cosmetics are earned through play or bought in a new store that uses in-game currency, and the developer says there are no microtransactions.
- Core animations now match the updated bodies, with fresh death and revival sequences and a new EMF reader animation to heighten immersion and scares.
- Players who cleared the first personal goal in the 2026 Cursed Hollow event will receive a necklace, a t-shirt, and a Forest Spirit Mask at launch, as the studio moves toward 1.0 and an Alan Wake crossover starting May 12.
