London has had a poor track record with summers. This year, people are ready. They lay in extra supplies. Emergency blunderbusses are unsafed. Several revolutionaries are witnessed wearing Masters’ robes, ‘just in case hierarchy goes squiffy again’.
London is prepared for any conceivable disaster. And nothing happens.
It’s going to be a quiet summer in Fallen London; the first in a long time. At this time of year, some disruptive event typically hits the Neath, requiring citizens to band together and restore (relative) peace and quiet. However, this year we need a break from this most intensive of events to devote some extra time and attention to Mandrake.
But! Even a quiet summer can distract and delight. This year, we’re putting on a bonanza of previous Estivals in the Waswood, starting today, the 27th of July, and running until Monday the 17th of August.
All previous Estivals are available to replay without the usual timing restrictions, and we’re granting all characters – regardless of how far they have progressed through the game – access to the Waswood for the duration.
Reliving past Estivals will help unlock various goodies and rewards for all players. You’ll also gain Estival Tokens as usual, and be able to spend them on items of equipment from previous years. There are even a handful of new items to collect!
The debut of ‘Hell is Missing!’
As part of the festivities, we’ve just made Hell is Missing available in the Waswood for the first time. Last year’s law-bending, clue-hunting festival has a somewhat different shape in memory, but if you missed it at the time, this is the closest you’ll get.
After the 17th of August, the Waswood schedule will go back to normal, slightly adjusted to add Hell is Missing to the rotation.
