Developers at Pocketpair have just delighted Craftopia fans with an exciting new Spring Update for 2025, bringing fresh content and enhancements to the popular game. Known for blending exploration, farming, and building with action-packed hack-and-slash gameplay, Craftopia offers a vast array of activities akin to a fantasy RPG, with dungeon looting, spell casting, and mining reminiscent of Minecraft.
Last year, Pocketpair faced scrutiny over the 2024 release of Palworld due to its apparent similarity to Nintendo’s iconic Pokémon series. The Japanese giant’s watchful eye was upon them, and they even filed a new patent related to creature-capture mechanics to counter Palworld, with plans for more patents in the pipeline.
In a Steam blog post, Pocketpair unveiled the features and changes in the Craftopia 2025 Spring Update. Noteworthy additions include new items like the “Massacre Drone” and a “Killpower Switch,” along with balance tweaks affecting spears’ basic attacks and fall damage on hovering vehicles. There are also skill adjustments, such as changes to Evil Dragon’s Erosion damage, and a more concentrated Lightning Bolt area when buffs are active. A slew of bug fixes and performance enhancements accompanies these updates, along with refinements like reordered icon displays and the new addition of named map markers.
Though Craftopia’s style may evoke memories of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for some players, its engaging gameplay drew widespread appreciation, especially with the latest substantial update. One enthusiastic fan quoted the famous words from Frankenstein, declaring, “It’s alive,” while others expressed hope for future optimizations, including an improved camera.
For newcomers and seasoned players alike, Craftopia is a cozy multiplayer experience, joining the ranks of games like Stardew Valley and the newly released Tiny Glade. Pocketpair’s recent update ensures that the game stays vibrant, providing helpful tips for beginners on everything from island teleportation to survival skills and evading those pesky bears. In 2025, Craftopia remains alive and well, offering a fun and rich experience for all its players.
