The Halloween event “Night of the Homunculus” is live in The Spike Cross with the update dated October 23, 2026. Its four-week run brings a new boss, matches that change by weekday and a roster of event rewards. The structure offers players a shifting daily challenge rather than one fixed route through the event.

The details come from the official The Spike Cross announcement on Steam. It confirms the event’s schedule and reward systems; it does not provide further information about the new boss.

A different lineup for each day

Event matches pit players against different teams on different days of the week. They are split into Normal, Hard and Very Hard stages, with daily rewards of 25 Homunculus Coins and 2,000 each of two random Specialization Points. Replenishing the daily rewards grants another 25 Homunculus Coins, and players can buy one additional entry ticket per day for 50 Blue Flames.

That changing schedule gives the event a clear daily rhythm: players can return for a new matchup and pursue rewards through repeated entries. The announcement does not specify the teams or matchups, so the challenge’s exact day-to-day shape remains to be discovered in-game.

The skin chase has a defined ceiling

Isabel’s Homunculus skin is Legendary and available through a new Skin Recruitment screen. The announcement says players can obtain all rewards, including the skin, within eight recruitments, with rewards not obtainable more than once. The first recruitment does not include the top prize; the listed winning chances rise across later attempts, reaching 100% on the eighth.

Players can earn two Skin Recruitment Tickets in total through missions and the Event Pass. Additional tickets cost 80 S Points each, and unused tickets expire when the event ends. The event also introduces Tania’s Homunculus skin, ranked Epic. The announcement lists featured recruitment for Isabel, Tania and Clyde, with individual rates available in-game.

Missions and shop rewards widen the route

Event missions tie rewards to several kinds of play: completing 50 featured-player recruitments grants a Skin Recruitment Ticket; winning 10 Very Hard event matches earns a Homunculus Social Profile Background. Reaching 44,000 km/h total spike speed grants a Profile Frame, while scoring 100 points in total with quick attacks unlocks a Profile Title.

An Event Login Pass offers Skin Recruitment Tickets, Homunculus Coins and upgrade materials. Coins can be exchanged in the Event Shop for player recruitment tickets, upgrade materials, and costumes including Frankenstein and Pumpkin. Homunculus Packs and Growth Packs are also being added. Pick-up skin sales run in two phases, with featured skins discounted by 50% during their respective periods.

A compact event with several play paths

For players, the event’s appeal is its mix of match progression, mission targets and skin recruitment: those pursuing the featured look have a route through tickets, while match-focused players can chase coins and profile rewards. The official announcement does not identify tournament or streaming features, so the clearest confirmed draw is the varied in-game activity across the four-week period.
