A lot of people were concerned that Craftopia was done. I even had my doubts. It had been months since an update, and with the news that Pocketpair was being sued by Nintendo, things were looking a bit grim for this game.
But it looks like they were working on one of their biggest updates to date. Here are some of the major highlights available with the Craftopia Winter 2024 update:
- Added “Age of Gods” age along with new items to craft
- New biome Inferno Volcano
- Merchant Smith will visit with rare merchandise
- Fishing reworked
- Raid Boss – Inferno Whale
- Tons of bug fixes

They might have fishing exclusive rare enchantments, or it might not? - Changed the maximum level of a player to 70. - Added the gigantic raid boss ""Inferno Whale"". Lure the abandoned pitiful bio-weapon to the hunting field and take it down using your vehicles and hunting equipment! 1. Head to the hunting grounds located in Inferno Volcano. Look for the fortress equipped with a Gigantic Gong. 2. Choose your favorite vehicle. The ""Buggy"" and ""Combat Helicopter"" are highly recommended! 3. Ram your vehicle into the Gigantic Gong. The ""Inferno Whale"" will soon appear! 4. Patrol the hunting grounds in your vehicle and make full use of the various hunting equipment. The equipment you can use will vary depending on your vehicle! 5. Pay special attention to the ""Anti-Whale Pike"" and ""Gigantic Chain Restraint Bullet"", as they are key tools! • ""Anti-Whale Pike"": Activate it by attacking the buttons with your vehicle or ramming into them! Not only it can prevent the ""Inferno Whale"" from crushing the fortress, but if you time your first hit well, you can deal massive damage! • ""Gigantic Chain Restraint Bullet"": Fire it as ""Inferno Whale"" jumps over the equipment. This will cause the Inferno Whale to crash and remain immobile for a while. Take this opportunity to climb onto its back and destroy the spine-like energy tanks for massive damage! Additionally, destroying all three spines might unlock a special recipe...! 6. Don’t worry if you fail! Talk to ""Anti-Whale Captain Dora"" at the fortress, and the hunting equipment will be repaired, allowing you to try again! If you're unsure how to use the equipment, it’s a good idea to read the instruction signs near each one! - Added the pet ""Mini Inferno Whale"".
