What's New in Emberwick
2.0
October 11, 2026
Emberwick 2.0: every place redrawn, and a daily you can share. • Night Canal: washi lanterns you can find in the dark, koi under the surface, a lit shrine past the torii. Still free, still complete. • Orbit: a warm launch pad under a ringed giant, and a lander that touches down when you hit. • Amazonia: a stilt village around its fire, crocodile eyes in the torchlight, pale rafts that catch your light. • Midtown: the alley that set the new look. • Every place keeps its own best on easy, medium and hard, with a hard-mode leaderboard for each. • The daily no longer needs Game Center. Share your result as a row of lanterns, or challenge friends in the Games app (iOS 26 and later). • A short guide for your first throw, Reduce Motion support and new haptics. • Fixes: Settings links open properly, and scores reach Game Center reliably. Nothing about the throw changed. Already unlocked? Every rebuilt place is yours, and so is every place to come.
