Neopets July Update

Jul 2, 2026

The Altador Cup is in full swing, Kiko Lake tourism is booming, and a mysterious new building has just appeared in Neopia Central. July is absolutely packed with updates to Neopia, including everything from an alien item invasion to brand new Community Ambassadors! Between exciting in-game updates and our upcoming return to San Diego Comic-Con, we have a massive month ahead both on and offline. Read on for everything you need to know.

Note: Release dates are subject to change. Check the New Features page for the most up-to-date information.

Altador Cup

Altador Cup signups are open and the tournament is just around the corner! Choose a team before July 6th, and look forward to a brand new game,  Challenge Track, retired avatar, and more! At King Altador’s request, the tournament is shorter compared to previous tiers, so look forward to the final winners announced on July 16th. 

For more information about the Altador Cup, please read the FAQ.

Altador from the Clouds

Sponsored by our mates over at Krawk Island, you’re invited to redeem Boarding Passes from the NC Mall in exchange for exclusive loot. Inspired by pirate fashion and underwater treasure, you won’t want to miss these sea-riffic wearables. Premium members will also receive a retired NC item prize for every boarding pass they redeem!

TVW: That’s A Wrap! Or is it?

As the final chapter of The Void Within concluded, major changes have been sweeping across Neopia! Although Queen Fyora officially announced her plans to step down from the throne, she intends to stick around just long enough to guide the formation of the new Faerie Council and ensure Faerieland is left in capable hands.

Meanwhile, upkeeping his promise to make amends for the chaos he caused, Ozzy has started volunteering at the Petpet Puddle, where he is now offering brand-new daily quests to paint your favorite little companions. Have a dream Petpet and want to increase your chances of getting an Ozzy quest? Check out the Deluxe Quest Fortune Cookie in the NC Mall! 


The mystery only deepens elsewhere, however, as Orion has finally awakened, only to discover that the entity possessing him can now communicate directly. Even more alarming, this mysterious presence warns that the lingering Void rift in the sky means someone out there is still meddling with forces far beyond their comprehension. Feeling clever enough to crack some riddles? Orion’s epilogue quest is officially live, and will remain available indefinitely!
 

P.S. Missed out or want to experience the adventure again?​

Later this month, the Chapter Replay Fortune Cookie will be stocked in the NC Mall! Activating this cookie will allow you to replay a single chapter of The Void Within plot to earn plot points, play past games, and collect missed rewards.

Neopets Lands in Fortnite! Aisha Arrives as the First Neopets Sidekick This July


 

Grab your nerkmids, pack your spacesuit, and prepare for an EPIC interdimensional adventure: Neopets is officially landing in Fortnite, with the iconic Aisha debuting as the very first Neopets Sidekick.

Beginning July 2 at 8 PM ET, you’ll be able to find the Neopets Aisha Sidekick in the Fortnite Shop until July 9 at 8 PM ET.

The Aisha Sidekick will include two adorable Styles: the classic Blue Aisha (who doesn’t love a classic) and the out-of-this-world Alien Aisha. And because no Neopian adventure that includes Alien Aishas would be complete without snacks, the Sidekick also has a charming Nosh-o-Matic Emote featuring an Alien Aisha Vending Machine, with three possible treats for your sidekick to enjoy: a Carrot and Pea Omelette, a Fish Negg, or a Neocola Slushie. Sorry, no paint brushes dropping from this one!

Players who spend time with their Aisha Sidekick equipped in compatible experiences can earn Sidekick Points to unlock the emote along with other Aisha Rewards, making this an exciting moment for Neopets fans and Fortnite players alike.

For more information, follow Neopets and Fortnite on social media and keep your antennae tuned for more updates!

Alien Invasion!

New Alien-inspired items are making their way into the NC Mall and NP shops! From a Baby Alien Aisha companion wearable to a brand new Battledome addition to the Pea family lineup, it’s an out-of-this-world invasion. 

#NEOPETS: A New Creative Contest

We’re excited to introduce #NEOPETS, a new creative contest inspired by the spirit of the classic Random Contest, now reimagined for the modern Neopets community. Each month, we’ll announce a new, themed challenge where you can show off your creativity in fun, surprising, and very Neopian ways.

Whether you love to draw, craft, cosplay, bake, film, photograph, build, or decorate, this contest is your chance to bring Neopets into the real world and share your creations with the community. Your submission must be in a digital format we can share on our social media; however, while winners may be featured on Neopets platforms, you do not need a social media account to enter! Learn more about the July Usuki-themed contest and how to enter below.
