It's been super hard to keep it a secret, but lately, most of our time and resources have been poured into this new project, which is why updates for Bronzebeard's Tavern have been a bit quieter.

Let’s build something awesome together 🍻 https://bronzebeardstavern.com
If you visit the Bronzebeard’s Tavern website right now, you might notice something strange on the front page.
There’s a timer counting down, with a video premiering soon shrouded with heaps of hints, and whatever it’s counting down to is only about a week away!!!
We’re not saying much yet… but this isn’t just a normal update or event like you might expect.
Something bigger has been brewing for a while now as promised, and the dev team is really excited that we can soon reveal what it all is!
If you’ve been following the Goblin Cup challenges, you might have noticed that we’ve been dropping little hints here and there. All of that has been building up to this.
TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF! 👉 https://bronzebeardstavern.com
This also ties into the final Goblin Cup challenge.
If you submit a theory about what you think the countdown is for, you can still earn Goblin Points and potentially push yourself into the Top 50 before the Goblin Cup ends.
So if you think you’ve figured something out… now’s the time!

Hey Dwarves! um, hate to alarm you but-
A full goblin horde takeover is now underway both outside and inside Bronzebeard's Tavern. Goblins have arrived in overwhelming numbers, established a shop nearby, and are demanding a steady supply of Goblin Chow!

Hey Dwarves, We hope you’ve all had a great holiday season and enjoyed this year’s Yuletide event!
As you may have noticed, the event was originally set to end on January 10, 2026 11:59 PM (NZDT).
We decided to keep it running a bit longer while we wrapped up work on the next update, hopefully giving everyone enough time to grab the cosmetics they wanted.
With that said, Yuletide will officially be ending on January 29, 2026 6:00 AM (NZDT). Apologies for the short notice!
But don’t worry! Yuletide won’t be leaving an empty space behind.
It’ll be replaced with something new, and there’s no need to save personal money for the upcoming update… 👀
Thanks for celebrating with us! 🎄🎅
Hey Dwarves!
Hope you're keeping warm on this festive time of the year 🍻
We're happy to announce that the Yuletide Event is back for a limited time, celebrating the Christmas Season once again!
Be sure to stop by the Yuletide Event area near the tavern entrance and snap a cheeky team photo with our festive goblins, they've dressed up just for the occasion 🎄
🎁 The Yuletide Shop has returned, stocked with some extra cool goodies! These treats are for the hardworking dwarves who fully cleared out the shelves last Yuletide and for those who are feeling the urge to splurge a little hard-earned dwarven coin.
These new hats include special effects and unique audio!!
⭐Legends say... that Santabeard is on the move, handing out the legendary hat⭐
If you're hosting an open public server, he just might pop in and leave a present for some well-behaved dwarves!
Rumour also has it that Dwarves who join the Discord and advertise their public server are more likely to witness his appearance and receive his fantastical hat 🎅🍺
Thanks for an amazing year Dwarves 🍻 Your support means the world to us and truly motivates us to work even harder. We've been busy hammering away at something big, and we can't wait to raise a mug with you and share it soon.
Happy Holidays Dwarves 🍺🎁

Greetings, Dwarves! 🍻
As promised, we’ve been hammering away at improving stability in the tavern. This patch focuses on fixing some of the pesky bugs from STAFF UP! and ASH N’ DASH!, especially the player desyncs, disconnections, and lag many of you reported. On top of this, a few adjustments.
Adjusted: All Hearth-Bound foods can now be cooked even if burnt:
Changed all hearth bound items to be able to be cooked while burnt. e.g. Hearth-Bound Grubs accept both Cooked Grubs and Burnt Grubs.
Buffed: Dwarven Hammer -
Increased hit speed by 50%.
Removed the longer animation variant.
Reduced attack delay.
Hammered customers now lose patience at 2x the rate
Added: Custom message when hitting a customer with the Dwarven Hammer.
Fixed: Host Player Desync Issues -
Fixed an issue where host players frequently appeared "de-synced" - standing still or moving in one place. We’ve managed to squash most of the root problems regarding this. Worst case scenario: a simple rejoin should be enough to fix any issues.
Fixed: An issue where player animations appeared laggy/jittery.
Fixed: An issue where players may be unable to sprint or dive when joining a game.
Fixed: An issue where the Dwarven Hammer did not hurt any Players/ Customers/ NPCs.
Added: Exclusive "Meditation" emote.
Thank you all for your patience and continued support! Every bug report, kind word, and bit of feedback fuels our small studio to keep polishing and expanding the tavern. 🍻
And for your patience, here’s a calming emote on us! Use code “COOLNESS” in Weirdbeard's to claim this exclusive emote for free!
We’ve been cooking this one up for a while—and it’s finally ready to serve! The Kelpbeard’s Cove DLC is NOW HERE, bringing a flood of nautical nonsense to your tavern.
🐙 From snorkels to jellycaps, from fishy dances to drippy hearthguard fashion, it’s the perfect way to soak up summer... dwarven style!

Greetings, Dwarves! 🍻
The Ophidians were missing their mommy! Here she comes, but she's not alone...
Set up the tables and cook the food - the ASH N' DASH update is here, with a new Renowned Customer to tend to with special requirements and a tough customer following along...
Introducing the Elder Ophidian! A legendary, enchantress known as the Mother of the Ophidians. A cherished friend of Papa Bronzebeard himself, and the mystical architect behind the tavern's hearth!
The Ophidian race loves their meals burnt, but she has a very particular way she likes it. Can you figure out how to satisfy her legendary taste?
Thought your tavern was safe in the late game? Think again! Charging into the scene is Taur Dash, the legendary food delivery service known for his speed and sheer force.
He NEVER misses a delivery... and he expects every dish to arrive at the exact same moment. Can you handle his relentless pace?
The tide has turned, and your tavern’s gone totally nautical! Dive into the deep with a wave of bubbly new cosmetics and an oceanic tavern theme that transforms your cozy hall into a seaside sanctuary. Whether you're rocking snorkels or ruling the waves with a crown of coral, it’s time to soak up the fun in true dwarven style!
