The all encompassing "sheet ghost" costume has been removed, allowing streamers to select a ghostly duck as a skin option instead. It also comes in "accessory", so !duckhat ghost to continue the scares.

- Hoppy Easter - 31 March 2024
Happy Easter! Some long awaited content has finally landed! We're excited to share our latest map: Eggstravaganza! A much longer and windier map than what you might be used to, but this is the first to proper utilise the new way we build our maps - allowing for greater variety in various segments of the track. Also, as it is Easter, we have a new Eggciting treat! Unlike last year's egg hunt, your painted ovum will spawn near your ducks, adding a nice layer of chaos to all races (and maybe some Battle Royale, too). Finally - a few returning favourites in the Hat Box: Bunny Ears, Egg, and the Easter bonnet!
