- Major Update: Scout Camp, Charms and Pets - 3 September 2026
We've been working hard to bring lots of new content to Gombo! The latest update brings 3 new major changes: The Scout Camp: This is a completely new location on the map. Certain NPCs will ask you to get relocated. Build them a new home in the camp and as a thank you, they'll offer you powerful new tools, resources and more. The camp will expand and get bigger as new biomes find their way into the game. Charms: These lovely little helpers will make Gombo stronger in many different ways and buff specific stats. Please note that this is the first version of Charms and we'll keep expanding them, based on community feedback. Later updates will likely introduce the possibility to upgrade them. Buffs range from more combat damage to more efficient resource collection or even poisoning enemies. Charms will allow to customise Gombo more to your taste and play the game in different ways. More Ch…
