Acecraft Brings Christmas to Cloudia with Jollyhats Jubilee Event and New S Rank Pilot Sylas
The skies of Cloudia are brighter than ever as Acecraft welcomes the Christmas season with its special holiday update, the Jollyhats Jubilee event. Developed by MOONTON Games, Acecraft is the world’s first fully hand drawn vertical co op shooter, and this festive update arrives in two phases starting December 23, 2025 and running through January 7, 2026, combining Christmas cheer and New Year celebrations into the game’s largest seasonal update since launch.
This limited time update introduces snow themed events, exclusive rewards, and the arrival of a brand new S Rank pilot named Sylas. Designed to refresh the game’s signature chaotic cartoon combat, the second phase of the event in early January expands the festival even further with new challenges and bonuses, ensuring that players have reasons to keep flying throughout the holiday period.
The event also highlights Acecraft’s strong momentum since release. The game previously reached the top of the iOS Free App charts in more than 34 countries and continues to attract players through consistent seasonal updates. Jollyhats Jubilee blends festive atmosphere seamlessly with Acecraft’s gameplay and storytelling, inviting both new and returning pilots to sharpen their skills and dive deeper into the world of Cloudia.
Christmas Magic Over Cloudia
At the heart of the celebration is Jollyhats Jubilee, Cloudia’s annual winter festival within the Acecraft universe. According to the game’s lore, this is the time when the mysterious Hat Spirits appear to reward pilots brave enough to challenge the dangerous skies. During this year’s celebration, Cloudia is transformed with snowy landscapes, holiday themed missions, and story driven encounters that directly connect to the expanding Acecraft universe.
Players who take part will uncover Cloudia’s winter legends while earning a wide range of seasonal rewards simply by flying, fighting, and playing during the holiday season.
Sylas, the New S Rank Pilot
Launching alongside Jollyhats Jubilee is Sylas, a new S Rank pilot who brings a fresh playstyle focused on battlefield control, survival, and decisive counterattacks. Unlike pilots who rely on speed or burst damage, Sylas truly shines when the battlefield is filled with danger.
In combat, Sylas can absorb enemy attacks and turn pressure into power, clearing dense bullet patterns while charging devastating counter strikes. His skills create safe zones amid chaos, making him especially effective in late game stages that demand precision and composure rather than pure aggression. For players who enjoy standing their ground and turning desperate situations into calculated victories, Sylas offers a rewarding and distinctive gameplay experience.
Phase One Event Activities, Christmas Theme
The first phase of Jollyhats Jubilee focuses on Christmas themed content and rewards. Players can enjoy holiday login rewards that include Recruit Tickets, Diamonds, and Frost Medals. Cloudia also receives a full festive makeover with new holiday visuals and atmosphere across the world.
Limited time Miracle Night missions challenge players with special objectives and introduce a new boss encounter, Thamus, Lord of Repose, who drops exclusive seasonal items. The Snowcap Express Delights hub allows players to exchange Frost Medals for rare avatars and limited time cosmetics, while also uncovering hidden stories tied to the festival.
New Year Challenges Begin January 7
As the calendar turns to the New Year, the second phase of Jollyhats Jubilee begins on January 7, 2026. This phase adds new Year of the Pilot missions that grant additional Recruit Tickets and Power Cubes. The festival shop refreshes with new items, including special Story Cards and rare avatars, while daily login bonuses reset with boosted rewards such as increased Gold, Diamonds, and EXP to kick off the year.
Both phases ensure steady progression and continuous fun for players who stay active throughout the holidays, reinforcing Acecraft’s commitment to meaningful and engaging seasonal content.
The Jollyhats Jubilee event in Acecraft begins on December 23, 2025, with the second phase launching on January 7, 2026. The game is available globally on iOS and Android.
As snow falls over Cloudia and the New Year approaches, the message is clear. Whether you are returning for Sylas, chasing festive rewards, or flying through holiday skies with friends, this is the perfect time to take to the air.
