Hello Olokians,

We hope youre all doing well. Today we have a new development update for you regarding the current closed beta testing phase. Lets take a look together at the current state of development, when an open beta might be available, and whats planned for the near future. Bill, could you explain to the Olokians whats been happening in the last few months?

Ofcourse, Marla! Over the past few months, the Oloko team has been working very hard to add missing features to the brand-new, Flash-free version of Oloko. Among other things, furniture, groups, more quests, digital items (accessories for your Oloko phone), more clothing from the original Oloko, the backyard, missing locations, and more have returned. There were also some cool events, like the big summer party in August.

Yes, that was really cool, Bill! But there are also big updates coming soon, to make a open beta possible, where Oloko will finally be free for everyone. But Nico, tell us more about the next few months.

Of course! The Oloko team has revealed that there will be a huge XXL update again for the closed beta later this year, which will bring back more missing features, gameplay and performance improvements, more clothing, more furniture, bug fixes, and of course, a Christmas Event. Plans for early 2026 include bringing back the trading and selling system, adding minigames, missing and brand-new features, and much more. The team estimates that all these updates will be released during spring 2026 and then plans to launch an open beta where all Oloko players can play without any access restrictions and hopefully experience Oloko as it once was. Only better! ;)

That sounds great! But dont forget, with Closed Beta access you can already play Oloko and follow the Closed Beta development live. These are the current requirements to participate:
-> Have an active Panfu.com account that has reached at least level 10.
-> Have an active Discord account linked to Panfu. (You can also get the access data & rules via the Discord)
-> Own and link a Panfu Patreon membership level 2 (Panfu Explorer) or higher.

We look forward to seeing you and will of course keep everyone else up to date on important news on the Oloko X (Twitter) account and in the Oloko blog.
Your Oloko Blogreporters Bill Chill, Nico and Marla
