Summer Event 2026
Events ยท Bongo Cat
The Summer Event 2026 ran for four weeks in June and July 2026, celebrating summer with 20 exclusive limited-time items. Once the event ended on July 14, those items stopped dropping for good.
Event details
During the event, players could drop 20 exclusive summer items, but only until July 14, 2026. After that date the items were no longer obtainable from drops, so trading duplicates and opening chests during the window was the way to complete the set. The update alongside it introduced persistent lobby codes, fixed exchange bugs, and changed equipping so it only highlights an item instead of moving it to the top, while items placed in an exchange are greyed out rather than removed.
The event also featured a collaboration with the indie incremental game Nightwater, developed solo by Amar: wishlisting Nightwater through the in-game banner granted the Nightwater Backpack, and playing the demo for 5 minutes granted the Nightwater Cat. A new supporter-items DLC was teased during the event, containing 3 skins (Bumble Kitten, Meowxolotl, Sea Purrtle) and 3 hats, which released shortly after.
