The Weekly Grind - Oct 27, 2026

Welcome back to The Weekly Grind, San Vanners! 

Let’s roll!

Week 8 of Season 5 is upon us, and the final week of The Curse of Morg is here. Get your Tributes from the Glyphs and Bounties and appease Morg by offering them at the Altars. Isle of Morg is Open Access until Nov 3.

On Nov 3, the skies of San Van will clear, the island will be restored as the Isle of Grom, and the Pump House park will revert - but have no fear! With Update 0.33.0, we’re bringing back the Pump House park, but without the Morg influence.

The team is working on the bugs you’ve reported, so keep sharing your bugs/issues so we can squash ‘em flat. 

Let’s dive right into the calendar.
