The update launches Abyss’s first major content drop with new Abyss locations, weapons, Abyss tubes, Valentine-themed mutations and a merchant, the first cosmetic skins, new Abyss fishes, plus a dedicated quest line and global events.

The Valentine’s Day event runs for two weeks, starting February 14, 2026, in the Valentine’s Area outside the Forgotten Deep Dome, where players collect Valentine’s Tickets by completing questlines and catching event mutations for exclusive rewards.

Valentine’s Tickets are earned through event quests and fish encounters and are redeemed for exclusive rewards.

Quests, mutations, and merchant rewards are limited to the Valentine period, ending February 28, with a chance some features remain in the game afterward.

A countdown timer will help players track the release, and Abyss codes will drop near launch to assist early participation.

Release times are scheduled across multiple regions (US, Europe, Brazil, Asia-Pacific, and beyond), spanning February 14–15 depending on region.

Two new quest lines, mutations, and artifacts are added, including a new merchant at the Valentine’s Event location and a post-bird questline yielding a special love letter gift.

Balance updates adjust Bob’s Plunger with reduced damage and cooldown, nudge Bath Tube’s oxygen, weight, and speed, and trim prices for Spirit Root fish at Epic rarity and below.

A countdown timer helps players track release, with Abyss codes dropping near update time to help early joining.

This event marks Abyss’s first major update and sets expectations for future live seasonal content, encouraging early participation to complete exclusive rewards before the event ends.

Alongside the event, two new quest lines and several mutations (Cupid and Lonely), a Heart Geode, three artifacts, two limited-time gun skins, and a new Love Potion are introduced, plus a new Love Letter gift after a post-bird questline.

In addition to content, the update includes improvements like auto-delete for unwanted artifacts and a new Low Oxygen warning setting.
