Dark Hours News

Hey everyone,

Time flies when you’re escaping monsters and snatching eggs! Just a quick heads-up: there’s only ONE WEEK LEFT before the Easter Eggs event comes to an end!

The event wraps up on April 30, so if you haven’t unlocked the exclusive Easter customizations yet, now’s the time to jump back in!





[h3]🎟️ Remember:[/h3]
Every egg you collect during your heists turns into Easter Tickets, which you can spend in the customization store for limited-time items:

• 2 Easter Hats
  
• 1 pair of stylish glasses
  
• 2 facecovers
  
• 1 backpack
  
• 1 teambag designed for the occasion
  

These customizations are exclusive to the event and will disappear once it ends, don't miss your chance!

So gather your crew, throw on your bunny ears, and head out for another festive heist. The eggs aren’t going to collect themselves!


We’d love to hear your feedback on the event, so feel free to share it with us on Discord and the Steam forums. And as always, thank you for playing Dark Hours!


See ya!

Hey everyone,

It’s time to celebrate Easter in Dark Hours with our very first Easter Eggs Event! From now until April 30th, we’re turning up the festive vibe in the most dangerous corners of your heists!





[h3]🐇 Special Easter Decorations[/h3]
Dark Hours 3D lobby and maps have just gotten a major Easter makeover! Easter egg garlands, bunnies, bells, decorative signs, and baskets of eggs are scattered all around. Take a time to enjoy the festive vibes while trying to escape the monster chasing you!



[h3]🥚 The Egg Hunt Has Officially Started[/h3]
Surprise! Easter eggs have made their way into your heists. Yup, that's right—now you can actually grab eggs while you're in the middle of your heist night. Keep your eyes peeled and don’t miss them!



[h3]🎟️ Win Easter Tickets[/h3]
At the end of each heist, the eggs you collect are converted into Easter Tickets. These valuable tickets can be used to purchase exclusive event items in the store. The more eggs you collect, the more tickets you’ll have to spend on unique customizations!


[h3]🔪My friends, there are no friends among thieves![/h3]
Each egg placed in the team bag will be shared with everyone, whereas if you keep them for yourself, you won’t have to share. Knowing this, will your team stay united?
