This week’s Garden Horizons update has been officially announced, plus the launch times. Last weekend, the update was moved to a different day and time, and there was a whole drama over the start time. Hopefully, that drama won’t happen this weekend, as the devs have been super clear about the start time.
Last week, we saw the launch of the Console Update, and it gave everyone the ability to play the game on consoles for the very first time.
The devs dropped the update two hours early to actually help the console players, so they could get into the game and start growing their gardens, ready for the admin abuse, however everyone turned up at the pre-announced launch time waiting for the update to drop, and it had already dropped.
I did feel really bad for the devs, as it was clearly done to help the brand new console players, but the existing players didn’t see it like that, and many ended up missing the start of the admin abuse, which was done over an hour before the console update was scheduled to drop.
For this week’s update, the devs have been explicitly clear on the start time of the admin abuse, and the launch time of the update, so there shouldn’t be any confusion at all, and it looks like a very intriguing update…
Here is the official update announcement:
“The island grows stranger. Something ancient has awoken. New mythical rewards, a new event, and more await.“
In the event image, we can see the usual black rectangle, but there’s the helicopter which has been circling the island for a couple of weeks now.
There’s a huge tentacle wrapped around the helicopter from the water below, and it looks like it’s going to be the next installment of lore.
In the first week of the game, we got loads of Easter eggs around the map like hidden caves, the radio transmitter, spilled potion bottles and the waterline around the island had grown higher.
The lore kinda died after the first week update, with no new secrets and Easter eggs around, so it’s fun that it looks like the lore is going to be continuing within the game.
What could be coming in the Mythical Update? I’d assume some new seed shop seeds, as we haven’t had any new seeds in two weeks, and hopefully we finally get the Reclaimer, which we all thought we’d get last week, and we didn’t.
Garden Horizons Mythical Update and Admin Abuse Start Times
This week’s Garden Horizons Mythical Update launches this coming Saturday, March 14th, and I have the conversions for you, to cover as many time zones as possible, so you know when the Garden Horizons update drops, so you can join the game before it starts.
There shouldn’t be any confusion over the start time this week, as Ymir has confirmed the admin abuse will happen before the update.
I would recommend logging onto Garden Horizons 30 minutes before the times listed below, to make sure you do not miss out on the admin abuse or the update launch.
During the admin abuses, we always get the most OP seeds like Mangos, Cherries and Cabbages, OP gear items like Sprinklers, and admin-only mutations like Banned, Salad, Meteoric and Party, which all have super high multipliers.
