Returning Events

The seasonal in-game events are some of our favourite content, and we know you agree, so we’ll be increasing the rotational speed of the planet Nexus (not really) to fast forward and ensure you can enjoy your favourites one last time.

September 26–November 28

  • Double XP, Glory Days, Power Prestige and PvP, and Blessing of Essence will be on from now until shutdown.

October 12–19

October 19–November 2

November 9–23

November 24–27

November 28

  • Join us in-game for the final few hours as we have some fun. More details to come!

I’m really glad that we’ll get to experience the Shade’s Eve and Winterfest Extravaganza Events one last time! Honestly, WildStar’s Halloween Event is the best of any MMO I’ve played!

The one thing I really hope they also do is give us closure about the Lore. There are so many Lore questions I’m curious about but I mainly want to know where the story was headed particularly in regards to the Entity and Drusera.

If you missed it, you can read my WildStar’s Demise Blog Post reminiscing about the game and my thoughts on its closure.
