The countdown is on! The NEW WORLD EU2 is ready to launch this Friday at 16 CET! What are you waiting for? Register today, get your preferred name and receive a whopping 25 mushrooms for validation before launch. Point your browser to https://s2.sfgame.eu or click the in-game link in your inbox!



Moreover, a ROSE MONDAY gift is waiting for you on our social media channels!

The topic we will be talking about today may be surprising. We are going to increase our pricing for the first time within the 13 years long Shakes & Fidget history, except of adjustments due to currency fluctuations.

Before you rage out about price increasements during inflation, please read the whole producer’s note to understand our motivation and why this does not mean that purchases will be more expensive per se.


We are going to increase prices in the mobile apps (Android & iOS) as well as in Steam. In the past, all three platforms had different price points, those will now be aligned.

Price increasements are necessary as the company structure has changed. From a small developer team of only seven people the team size increased to 35 employees within the last two years to ensure the operation of Shakes & Fidget as well as guaranteeing the future of the game. Additionally, this allows us to work on new products to diversify the company’s portfolio. Due to that the personnel cost increased significantly.


Although prices will be increased this does not necessarily mean that you need to pay more than before. With the introduction of the WebShop (https://home.sfgame.net) we found a way to maintain our pricing but provide a possibility to you to purchase items outside of the game.

Together with the WebShop we are going to establish a Community Portal. This should be the place to go for the community in the future to find interesting information all around the game and a convenient option to purchase mushrooms and special packs, and last but not least special sales will be offered as well from time to time.

Find out more about the WebShop and the Community Portal here: https://home.sfgame.net/.

To new shores! On Friday, February 24, a portal to the NEW WORLD EU2 will open at 16 CET! Create a new character as early as Monday, Feb. 20, to secure your name early and receive 25 mushrooms for validation before launch!

Hello heroes!

Get ready for the following WEEKEND EVENTS from Friday to Sunday: Valentine's Blessing, Glorious Gold Galore, Witches' Dance, Epic Shopping Spree Extravaganza, Assembly of Awesome Animals & Days of Doomed Souls.



Moreover, the HELLEVATOR will open its hellish elevator doors as early as next week on Thursday, February 23 (on S31.de already on February 22). But before you can go to hell again next week, we are celebrating Valentine's week up to and including this Sunday!

All love-hungry among you that have not been able to complete the seductive Valentine's set yet will have another increased chance to find parts of the set in the assortment of the magic and weapon shop next weekend! Rumor has it that the two merchants are more likely to hand over these epics if you wink and blow them a kiss or recite a romantic love poem...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S WEEK!

Whether you're newly in love or happily single, you can get Valentine's blessing from Monday (February 13) to Sunday (February 19)! With it, you can find his tailor-made amorous Valentine's set (new epics, further details in the tavern from Monday). Every single seam has been sewn by him with love and every metal forged with hot passion. Makes hearts beat faster and is guaranteed to turn your opponents' heads. Broken necks guaranteed!



Have a nice weekend! :)
