ASCEND KUNLUN: GLORY AND ENLIGHTENMENT AWAIT IN WOLFPACK GAMES’ CYCLICAL COMBAT SURVIVAL GAME HAVENHOLD

Craft Gear and Weapons, Uncover Ability Scrolls to Enhance Combat Abilities, and Conquer Enemies in Uniquely Designed Contest That Resets Every 14 Days

Sign up Today for the Closed Beta Beginning April 17th on Steam

BEIJING, CHINA – APRIL 3, 2025 – Wolfpack Games, an energetic veteran team of indie developers, are excited to announce Havenhold, a unique multiplayer survival combat game centered around a contest to ascend to the top of the mystic Kunlun Mountain that resets every 14 days. Train as a warrior monk, wield primordial powers, craft and trade, battle dark monsters and compete with other players in intense battles for access to the sacred peak.

“Havenhold is about pushing the boundaries of survival combat with a unique cyclical structure,” said Stephan Wang, Co-Founder of Wolfpack Games. “We’re excited to welcome players into our closed beta test next month, and see how they forge their own legends on Kunlun Mountain.”

Havenhold will launch a special Closed Beta Test starting on Thursday, April 17 at 10:00AM PDT. Players interested in participating in the Havenhold Closed Beta Test can sign-up on the Steam page today.

Players are descendents of the Taichu Order, warrior monks with the rare ability to Spirit Bind and use the transformative power of Primordial Spirits. Journey through the Kunlun Mountain area, search through dungeons, ruins, and sacred temples to recover ability scrolls to unlock new combat skills, as well as uncovering blueprints to craft upgraded gear and weapons. As players ascend higher towards the peak of Kunlun Mountains, boss encounters will encourage warriors to party together to co-op the much more difficult areas. In the final days of the cycle, the strongest warriors left compete in all-our war to see who is deserving of all the glory of the Kunlun Mountain… and the contest begins again with any skills and items transferred to the new cycle.

Havenhold Key Features

  • Cyclical Warfare: Compete in a dynamic contest that resets every 14 days, carrying over hard-earned skills and items.

Gameforge Announces the Return of Popular NosTale Event Server: NosFire, as Easter Celebrations Kick-Off on April 15

Get ready for seasonal challenges and NosFire 2025 — bigger, better, and hotter than ever

Karlsruhe, Germany (April 3, 2025) | Get ready to feel the heat as today international publisher Gameforge reveals the return of anime MMORPG NosTale’s blazingly popular NosFire event server! Back by popular demand, NosFire launches on April 15, bringing even more drops, EXP boosts, and much more! That’s not all, as the game will also be launching Easter raids, quests, and rewards on the same day in celebration of the seasonal holiday.

From April 15 to June 18, NosTale’s NosFire event server provides new players with a compelling reason to finally jump in and immerse themselves in its vibrant universe. Launching worldwide, this presents a unique opportunity for newer players to accelerate their character’s advancement, with significantly quicker leveling compared to standard NosTale servers. On top of that, players will also be able to reap rewards from the Easter challenges as things continue to heat up in-game.

To help NosTale players burn through levels during NosFire, the server features a permanent double EXP boost, as well as 2X fairy experience, 4X family experience, double drops, and double gold, too, for good measure. But that’s not all, as special “boost” events — event weekends — will be available, which can provide an additional 2X multiplier for gold, XP, and drops, quadrupling the rewards during this period!

“We’re beyond excited to be bringing this event back to the game,” said Nyoka, Product Manager of NosTale. “It was an exceptionally popular event in 2024, and we saw all the player requests to hold it again. Well, we heard you, and I’m pleased to say NosFire will be even more jam-packed with content than the original!”

Key Features of NosTale’s NosFire event server:

  • Get It While It’s Hot: The NosFire event server launches April 15 and runs for nine weeks, until June 18
  • Gotta Go Fast: Supercharged progression and double EXP boosts allow players to blaze through levels and reach endgame content quicker 
  • Potential for Progression: Special boost weekends provide more chances for boosted player progression  
  • Plus One: When the event ends, players can take their NosFire character to a regular server, with one free transfer permitted

NosTale Kicks Off Easter Festivities Alongside the NosFire Event

As the flames of the NosFire event ignite, NosTale is also embracing the Easter spirit with exciting in-game festivities. This year’s celebrations bring thrilling raids, rewarding challenges, and exclusive seasonal sales, ensuring players have plenty of ways to enjoy the holiday.

  • The Mad Easter Rabbit Raid: One of the highlights of this year’s event is the return of this popular challenge. To enter, players must first obtain the Mad March Hare Raid Seal, which can be collected by defeating monsters while farming. Inside the raid, the battle heats up as the boss hurls explosive Egg Bombs, forcing players to either evade or interact with them strategically to survive.
     
  • Chicken Queen Raid: The beloved (and sometimes hated) boss also makes a grand return, offering players another chance to take on the infamous Chicken Queen and King. As always, the focus of this raid lies in pet and mount evolution, allowing players to use Eggs and Evolution Fruits to strengthen their companions. Victorious players can earn the coveted “BBQ King” title and claim an Easter Raid Box, which may contain a Mad March Hare Specialist Partner Card for ranged partners, a limited-time Easter Bunny Hat & Costume, the prestigious “Mad Hatter” title, or an Egg-Shaped Chest filled with consumables and other treasures.
     
  • Special Easter Quests: Beyond the raids, these additional challenges will allow players to collect Purified Eggs and Polluted Eggs, which can be exchanged for valuable rewards. Meanwhile, the in-game shop will be stocked with limited-time Easter sales, including the Easter Bunny Party Costume Chest, Easter Bunny Costume Set, and the permanent Fluffy Rabbit Costume Sets for both male and female characters. For those looking to add a new mount to their adventures, the Royal Rabbit Carriage can be obtained. This very special mount will pull you through NosVille in a magnificent carriage!

With festive battles, rewarding challenges, and an array of seasonal collectibles, NosTale’s Easter event is set to deliver an unforgettable adventure for all players.
