The latest news from Habbo Hotel: Origins

October 2026 Edition

Welcome back to Hotel Happenings, your round-up of everything happening in Habbo Hotel: Origins! Apologies for the lack of updates since our latest edition, but it's been a busy few weeks across the hotel, with major community decisions, exciting new furni collections, seasonal favourites returning and a mysterious new threat spreading through our pixelated paradise. Let's dive into the latest happenings!

The Verdict Is In: Titles Are Here to Stay! In some places...

The community has spoken! The results of the highly anticipated title vote are in, and titles are officially staying in Habbo Hotel: Origins, with 76.7% of voters supporting the decision.

However, not every proposed change made the cut. Suggestions to display titles on profiles, in speech bubbles or in chat history failed to reach the required 70% approval threshold. The proposal to let Habbos combine title words to create their own titles was also rejected.

For now, your hard-earned titles will continue to appear on your infostand, giving everyone a little extra recognition when they visit your rooms or meet you around the hotel.

New Furni Line: Brewworks!

Glukko Corp has expanded its empire once again, this time bringing a brand-new furni collection to Origins: Glukko Brewworks!

Inspired by the traditional pub, this latest range brings a darker, more mysterious atmosphere to room building. With suspicious furnishings and eerie decorations, it's the perfect opportunity to create your own pixelated local, haunted tavern or questionable watering hole.

The release also introduced Glukko Arms in Duckberry Town, giving curious Habbos a chance to explore the company's latest venture.

But what exactly is Glukko Corp brewing behind closed doors? Given the strange events unfolding around the hotel, perhaps it's best not to ask too many questions!

Calling All Furni Designers: Habboween Competition!

Got a creative streak and a passion for pixel art? The Habboween furni design competition has invited the Origins community to design an original, spooky rare that could eventually become part of the game.

The competition celebrates one of Habbo's most iconic seasonal traditions, encouraging players to create something that captures the spirit of Habboween while fitting the classic Origins art style.

There are some fantastic prizes on offer, including a super rare Typewriter for the winners, alongside credits and additional copies of the winning furni for the top entry, and a classic Habbo Eyeball Habboween badge.

Why not check out some of the concepts posted by our wonderfully talented Habbos? You can see a whole range on the Official Discord channel here.

Keystone Beta Opens Its Doors to Everyone!

A major milestone arrived on the 8th October, as the Keystone beta became available to everyone through Steam.

Keystone is the new C++ recreation of the Habbo Hotel: Origins client, and its public beta gives players the opportunity to try it out and help the development team identify bugs and improve the experience.

You can join through Steam using the beta access code habbokeystone, and you can still log in with your regular Habbo account.

Our full guide can be found here.

There are also two badges up for grabs: a grey badge for participating in the beta, and a coloured version for players who spend more time using Keystone than the original client during the beta.

The first round of fixes arrived shortly after launch, addressing compatibility issues and several gameplay problems. With community feedback helping shape its development, Keystone is an exciting step forward for Origins!

The Harvest Grounds Return!

Habboween wouldn't be complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch, and the Harvest Grounds are officially back!

Following their popularity last year, pumpkin growing is returning as a regular autumn event, giving returning gardeners and newcomers alike the chance to get planting.

Whether you're hoping to grow on your impressive collection of pumpkins, enjoy the seasonal atmosphere or simply grab those untradeable furni from last year, there's plenty of reason to pay the grounds a visit.

The return also brings a fresh set of challenges, with new titles rewarding pumpkin-growing achievements and bigger harvests.

Spread of the Virus: A New Furni Line and Minigame!

Just when everyone thought the mushroom chaos was behind them, a new threat has emerged. A mysterious virus is spreading throughout Origins, and Glukko Corp appears to be at the centre of the latest developments.

The new Virus furni collection brings contaminated, infected and blood-soaked designs to the catalogue, opening up plenty of possibilities for quarantine zones, abandoned laboratories and rooms that look as though they've been overtaken by an outbreak.

But that's not all. The release also introduces Glukko Outbreak, a new team-based minigame based on capturing wards.

Players compete to control five capture points across three 30-second waves, with the team holding the most zones at the end of each wave earning a point. Matches last 90 seconds, so teamwork and quick decisions are essential.

There's an extra twist, too: players can sneeze on opponents and temporarily stun them! Make sure you grab one of the mask-cans to protect yourself from the other team.

The Virus, Brewworks and Habboween furni ranges are scheduled to remain in the catalogue until 2nd November, so collectors and room builders should keep an eye on this seasonal deadline.

Room Builders Assemble: Virus-Themed Room Competition

With the outbreak spreading, it's time for the community to put its room-building skills to the test!

The new virus storyline provides the perfect inspiration for a themed room competition. Whether you imagine a secret Glukko laboratory, a contaminated hospital, a quarantine checkpoint or a room that's been completely overtaken by the infection, there's plenty of scope to get creative.

The new Virus furni collection offers even more possibilities for anyone looking to build an atmospheric, story-driven room.

Keep an eye on the official Origins community announcements for the competition's full rules, submission details and judging information.

Can your room capture the outbreak's unsettling atmosphere and impress the judges? It's time to get building!

Cola Glukko Pop Rare Release

Rounding off the latest Glukko-related developments is the release of the Cola Glukko Pop rare!

Glukko Corp continues to make its presence felt across Origins, with its expanding range of themed furni keeping collectors and room designers busy. The Cola Pop release adds another talking point for anyone following the company's growing catalogue.

With Brewworks, the Virus collection and other Glukko-themed additions arriving around the same time, the company's influence on the hotel is becoming difficult to ignore...

Is Glukko Corp simply expanding its business, or is there a bigger story behind all these strange releases? We'll be watching closely.

Origins on the Go? A Mobile Version Could Be on the Horizon!

One of the most requested features in the Origins community is finally getting closer to reality — Habbo Hotel: Origins on mobile!

A recent post from Macklebee (Dave), shared on X, has sparked excitement after offering a first glimpse of Origins running on a mobile device. It's an exciting development for our game that has, until now, only been available to desktop players.

The introduction of Project Keystone, the newly rebuilt Origins client, seems to be the most important step towards making this possible. With its modernised foundations, the project opens up new possibilities for the future of the hotel and how we access it.

Imagine checking your shop stalls, fishing, harvesting, visiting your favourite rooms and catching up with friends while away from your computer. A mobile version could make it easier than ever to pop into the hotel throughout the day! Don't let your boss catch you.

For now, though, there are still details to be confirmed, including availability and a potential release date. The preview is an exciting sign of what's possible!

Could mobile support be the next big chapter for Origins gaining a bigger player base? We'll be keeping a close eye on developments!

That's a Wrap!

From the community's decision to keep titles, to the arrival of Keystone, the return of pumpkin growing and a suspicious new virus, October has delivered plenty for Habbo Hotel: Origins players to explore.

Add in new furni collections, creative competitions and another rare release, and there's no shortage of reasons to log in, catch up with friends and see what's happening around the hotel.

One thing is certain: Origins is getting busier by the day, and Glukko Corp seems to be everywhere.

Stay tuned for the next edition of Hotel Happenings for more news, releases, events and community updates from Habbo Hotel: Origins!

See you in the hotel!
