'FoamStars' Ending Seasonal Updates In January 2025, Servers Remain Online For The Time Being

by Rainier on Dec. 5, 2024 @ 11:18 a.m. PST

FoamStars is a four-on-four online party shooter where you will use foam to attack, build and defend.

Welcome to Bath Vegas – a sprawling metropolis of neon lights and retro Americana. It’s a party city fizzing with bubbly personalities and home to the world’s most spectacular foam party!

In this game, foam is the ultimate resource. It’s your greatest weapon and your greatest tool.

Foamstars pits two teams of colorful characters against one another in fun, fast-paced, foam-filled battles.

It can be used in multiple ways: To create slippery surfaces that players can use to surf around the arena at high speed; to build terrain, helping players defend from enemy attacks or creating high vantage points to take out opponents; and finally, to foam up the opposition and win the match.

Join the foam-blasting frenzy!

Following the "PARTY GOES ON!" season taking place from December 13, 2024 (Friday) to January 17, 2025 (Friday), season updates for Foamstars will be coming to an end.

In this concluding update, expansions will be introduced to enhance gameplay, such as the ability to customize shots of each character, and new enhancement elements, such as Prism Gems, all aimed at ensuring players can continue to enjoy the game for the foreseeable future.

All online services will remain available after the "PARTY GOES ON!" season ends. In addition, we plan to hold the Foamstars CUP, a series of in-game events named after each character.
Furthermore, to ensure that new players can fully enjoy Foamstars, previous Season Passes will be made available again. Players can switch between Season Passes at any time to proceed along the Season Pass track of your choice and obtain items from past seasons. This will make it possible for players to obtain all the items from each season.

To our players

Thank you so much for playing FOAMSTARS.

I don't want this to sound like a final message since you will be able to continue playing the game. However I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to you all once again, so I've taken up my pen to write this producer's letter.

From the start, alongside Director Rickey, FOAMSTARS had been developed with the goal of creating “a game that everyone can enjoy together.”

“Everyone together” doesn’t just refer to the players, but also includes their family members and partners who may be watching them play, and those who are watching and engaging through streams.

Since the game's release on February 6, 2024, the development team has been working tirelessly to add new content and features, striving to bring the game as close as possible to that goal.

Throughout both the development and operational phases, we have faced many challenges. However, the support of all of you who play the game, along with the incredible fan art, has been a constant source of encouragement for the team. It's because of this support that we've been able to overcome these difficulties, always with the goal of responding to your feedback.

If FOAMSTARS has become a game that you can enjoy with others, then we couldn't be happier.

Thanks to all of you, we’ve managed to successfully complete every update we had planned. We’ve been able to reach this point because of your warm support. On behalf of the entire team, I’d like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude.

Please see below for details on the main changes to the content of Foamstars beyond January 17, 2025 (Friday), 01:00 UTC. *Some content subject to future adjustments.

■ Season Pass

Players can select any season pass they wish to advance from past seasons' passes and they are free to switch to other season passes at any time.

As with past seasons, the basic Season Pass is free and the Premium Pass is paid. In addition, you can now also purchase specific Tiers within a Season Pass from the "Season Pass" screen to unlock the corresponding rewards along that track.

*Party Popper: Bubbles, which was available through Premium Passes in past seasons, will become an item available through the standard Season Pass, following the end of sales of various Party Poppers.

■ EXTREME PARTY

EXTREME PARTIES will take place every Saturday 03:00-14:59 (UTC) in the following cycle. The status of whether an EXTREME PARTY is “upcoming” or “currently ongoing” will be announced in-game.

  1. Skill Shuffle Party!
  2. (Rotation*)
  3. Skill Shuffle Party!
  4. Overlap-OK Party!

*“Super Duel Party!” “Pitchside Homerun Party!” “One-Shot Chill Party!” and “Invisible Party!” will be held in rotation.

■ RANKED PARTY

“RANKED PARTY TRIBE-VIBE" and "RANKED PARTY LONESTAR" will be renewed as "Foamstars CUP".

RANKED PARTY TRIBE-VIBE" will become "Foamstars CUP FREEDOM LEAGUE" and "RANKED PARTY LONESTAR" will become "Foamstars CUP LEGEND LEAGUE”. Each Foamstars CUP is named after a specific Foamstar and will rotate every four weeks.

Rewards include icons and other items based on each FOAMSTAR, so please join in!

In addition, based on the player feedback we have received, both events will continue to take place on a daily basis. The "Foamstars CUP FREEDOM LEAGUE" will be in a format that allows for easy group participation with friends at any time, whereas the "Foamstars CUP LEGEND LEAGUE" is designed to allow players who are recognized for their abilities to enjoy more competitive matches with each other.

Please check back for more information and updates to be released at a later date.

■ Shop

Items in the "Recommended" category will be updated on a daily basis.

■ Challenges

The current "Limited Time" challenges will change to "Event" challenges and be further divided into the following categories:

  • Daily Challenge (updated daily)
  • Event Challenge (updated every Saturday)

“Weekly" challenges will continue to accumulate one week at a time from the start of a challenge, but they will now be switching out every four weeks instead of every five weeks (one season).

In addition, the "CASUAL PARTY" and "PRIVATE PARTY" in VERSUS mode, which are not listed above, as well as the MISSION mode, will continue to be available for your enjoyment. Thank you for your continued support of Foamstars.
