Welcome back, Neopians!
The Lost in the Dark – Finding the Light campaign relaunches The Void Within with Episode 2, Act 3: Chapters 8–11 on August 4, 2025, pulling us back into Neopia’s epic struggle against the immutable, grey, and shadowy shades threatening to overtake the planet.

As we eagerly anticipate the unfolding of this chapter, it’s important to note that, due to recent resource reallocation towards site fixes, new features, and security enhancements, we haven’t changed the gameplay experience much in this upcoming release. However, you will have more chances to earn plot points and new exclusive rewards, redeemable from the Prize Shop through a blend of story, activities, puzzles, and games. We’ve also designed a Battledome Guild Challenge for you to compete against your Neofriends, with extra rewards on offer.

Here’s your guide to navigating the updated release, maximising your efforts, and shining as a hero in this darkened world.

Your understanding and continued support are truly appreciated as we work to enhance your gaming experience.
