It was hard coming up with a title for this one that didn't detract from all the other cool stuff going in, but horses are here! You can now mount up and ride anywhere you like in Onverse on a variety of different horses. There is so much more though so please keep reading to see all of the new features that Onverse has brought you in one of our best updates ever!
Horses![]
The Stables is a new store in the Hub that will sell all of the mounts we come up with. For now, there are eight varieties of horses in the Stables to pick from. In your inventory, there is a new tab labeled Travel. You can use your mounts from there, or drag them into your equip bar for easy access. New varieties of horse pets are also available.
Echo Canyon[]
Echo Canyon is a new area in the Ancient Moon Region of Onverse. There are new Lunar Outposts and Cliffside Land Plots available for purchase. Witness this spectacular lunar canyon view from your properties perched miles above a churning riverbed!
Spring is Here[]
The Spring Platform is back on the Beach in the Hub. It is full of Spring and Easter themed items both old and new. You can also grab a bunny hop power-up and bounce around with a powerful jump!
Grab an Easter Basket and search High and Low around the Hub for Easter Eggs. There are many prizes and surprises waiting inside the eggs. The eggs are hidden well, so look hard and have fun!
The update also comes with tons of Spring Fashions. These clothing are some of the best we've made, with many selections for males and females. Be sure to check Factory Fresh Imports in the Hub to see all the new fashions.
