B156 and B157 went live on November 5, 2026. Together they make avatars feel more alive: hair moves, and mouths move when players speak in voice chat.
B156: hair motion and lip sync
- Hair that moves. Every player hairstyle now sways. The tips lag behind when you start running, swing when you stop or turn, bounce after a jump and drift a little in the wind. The roots stay put, and hair under a hat moves less.
- Talking Faces on by default. The Talking Faces option from B150 is now switched on for everyone. You can turn it off under Settings > Game UI > Other > TALKING FACES.
- Voice chat lip sync. A player's mouth opens and closes with their voice:
- louder speech opens the mouth wider, and the lips round or spread with the sound;
- your own avatar follows your microphone while you are transmitting;
- players you have muted stay still;
- the mouth closes again when the voice stops.
- In B156 lip sync covered adult avatars on desktop; hair motion arrived on desktop and web together.
B157: teens, web and mobile
- Teen avatars get talking faces and lip sync too.
- Web and mobile get talking faces and voice chat lip sync, for adult and teen avatars, your own and other players'.
Good to know
- With the mouth at rest, a face looks the same as before.
- Toon Cats have no talking face and no hair motion.
- Desktop players got both updates through the launcher; web and mobile players only had to reload the page.
