Cloudheim, a stunning alternative to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, has just released a new free festive update, perfect to begin the Christmas season.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on game releases in the last month, you may be aware of Cloudheim, a new Zelda-esque game that’s just launched into Early Access.
It came out on 4 December, and now just two weeks later, developer Noodle Cat Games has released a new free winter update.
“Welcome to Frostfall! The portal to Frostfall Castle has opened on Odin Shell. Explore a forgotten castle from a lost realm to find legendary weapons, new ore, destructible presents, and face a looming boss in this wintry realm,” reads the official announcement by Noodle Cat Games.

“The celebration continues on Odin Shell with 14 days of presents under the tree, new decor items, snowballs to throw, and more!”
Across the next two weeks, players can open up one present per day, each one featuring a new in-game goodie. However, the contents of the presents will be different for everyone, with the order being different for each player.
During this event you’ll also be able to explore Frostfall Castle and collect Jingle Bells from Yeebles, which will allow you to buy your way onto Torsten’s Nice List and get a Blessing inside the halls of Frostfall.
The castle also houses destructible presents, which can drop new legendary weapons or unique crafting resources like Coal Ore and Hearth Stone Ore.
Meanwhile, the new winter update also introduces a new character, Hango.
“The newest Runari, Hango, is a fey being from Alfheim, who has arrived in Cloudheim to serve as a guardian and protector for her friends while hunting their mutual enemies,” reads the character bio for Hango.
“She is fiercely loyal to her clan back home, and has adopted her fellow Runari as her new clan during her time on Odin Shell.”
Hango is available for all players immediately, with owners of Cloudheim’s Supporter Pack also getting access to the Bifröst Style for her. The pack is available for purchase on Steam, costing £8.50 and features four new characters.
The new event also comes with a large list of bug fixes and changes, addressing many problems players had with the game as well as adding new content for players to enjoy. To see the full list of changes, the patch notes are available on the announcement page on Steam.
