Party Animals 1.17.0.0 Brings a New Crisis Map, Anniversary Events, and Seasonal Updates
A substantial patch adds new content across maps, roles, and limited-time events to mark the game's third anniversary.
Party Animals version 1.17.0.0 landed on September 15, 2026, carrying a new map, seasonal refreshes, anniversary celebrations, and two new Crisis Mode roles.
What changed
New and updated maps
- Desert Crisis joins Crisis Mode: sandstorms sweep through town and a ritual circle appears in Deadwood Park, framing a cooperative race against time.
- Autumn Cabin receives a meteor shower update; players can now recline on newly added interactive beanbags in the aquarium and admire collected Meteor Fish.
Crisis Mode roles
- Radar (Goodie role): scans all surviving players and temporarily reveals their positions on the map.
- Bomb Killer: can secretly pass bombs; players killed by the resulting explosion cannot be reported.
Anniversary events
- The 3rd Anniversary Party Event Pass runs September 15 – November 15: XP from Quick Match or Custom Games contributes to both personal and community progress milestones simultaneously.
- Daily Login Rewards (September 19–26): logging in each day yields 50 Nemo Bucks.
- Fairy Catcher returns for the same two-month window, with new fairies added to the roster.
Item Shop additions
- Justice Series outfits, Mid-Autumn Festival outfits, three new Vicksy outfits, Greek Gods outfits, and the limited "Pink Rose Shiba Inu" outfit each carry distinct availability windows across September and October.
- The "Fawn Lamar" outfit has been added to the standard shop rotation.
For active players, the dual-track XP system and daily login window make the anniversary period a practical time to engage — cooperative progress toward community milestones adds a meaningful collective dimension to routine matches.
