Ecos: La Brea Patch Notes

Player guide for Ecos: La Brea on Roblox: playable Ice Age animals, unlock badges, Tracks, controls, tar, and migration.

How to read the list

The list is newest first. A page edit date is not treated as a patch. Coyote and pony footage from testing servers is not written up as a full public release.

What is on the Ecos: La Brea dated log?

  1. Happy Howl-o-ween is listed for October 16, 2026

    The Roblox events panel lists Happy Howl-o-ween for Friday, October 16, with the line Players Beware. The listing that was visible also showed 5:00 PM without a timezone. No reward list was published with that title, so check the in-game event rather than an older Halloween skull hunt.

  2. Orcutt's Coyote and Harington's Pony announced

    Ecos Team introduced Orcutt's Coyote (Canis latrans orcutti) and Harington's Pony (Haringtonhippus francisci) as the two playables then in development. The plan was to release them after the emotes update. Official fauna pages show free default coats named Bandito and Hippus. October 2026 community clips describe testing servers. A public unlock quest was not part of the announcement.

  3. January 23, 2026 patch: coats, prairie, spook, and Q to mark

    The Ecos Team community post on January 23, 2026 added the tier 2 Juniper Saber, the tier 2 Moulting Ochre Bison, and three gamepass few-spot leopard horses. It updated the coastal prairie. Peccaries and herbivores now spook off each other, and a running peccary herd spooks nearby herds. Spook lasts until the target dies, leaves combat, or you open a large gap. Marking from a distance is easier. Herbivore call 2 no longer marks players. New players mark with Q by default. Existing keybinds stay until you change them.

  4. Winter Solstice, December 13, 2025 through January 10

    The Winter Solstice event added the Snowflake Leopard Western Horse. Daily quests could cut limited skins from 3000 Tracks to 600. Thirty quests unlocked a limited billboard color. Holiday skins were available from December 13 to January 10. The wiki's daily-quest note is tied to this event's introduction.

  5. Free to play and the Columbian Mammoth

    Ecos Team shipped the free-to-play release on November 22, 2025, with the Columbian Mammoth as the new playable. The mammoth knocks down trees, digs water, and fertilizes plants. Unlock it by completing the mammoth quest.

FAQ

Ecos: La Brea update questions

Is Ecos: La Brea free?

Yes. The official Free to Play video says the experience became free to play on Roblox on November 22, 2025. Open the Ecos Team game page and press play. Older pages that still say the game costs Robux describe an earlier access period.

Which animals can I play right now?

The Roblox game description names Dire Wolf, Saber-tooth Cat, Ancient Bison, Western Horse, and Columbian Mammoth. Horse and Dire Wolf are the animals used in the published unlock steps for the others. Smilodon, Ancient Bison, and Columbian Mammoth have their own badges. Orcutt's Coyote and Harington's Pony were announced on June 29, 2026 as upcoming playables after the emotes update. October 2026 community clips describe them on testing servers, and a public unlock quest for them was not documented.

Are there working codes?

No code string was confirmed as active for October 2026, and a code-entry button was not confirmed in the game. Tracks, the coat currency, are earned by missions, Instincts, survival, and territory or migration play. Do not enter passwords or payment details into any box that claims to be a code field.

How do I unlock the Saber-tooth Cat, Ancient Bison, and Mammoth?

The Saber-tooth Cat badge is earned by hunting and killing a Peccary. The Ancient Bison badge is earned by marking a predator, which the animal guide describes doing as a Western Horse. The Columbian Mammoth badge is earned by completing the mammoth quest: interact with a mammoth skeleton so fossil zones appear, then collect the fossils in those zones. Video pin lists are examples, because players report the marked spots are not one permanent map.

What are Tracks?

Tracks are the currency used to buy animal coats. The published shop ladder is Default free, Tier 1 at 300, Tier 2 at 500, Tier 3 at 1000, and Tier 4 at 3000. Some mutation coats are listed at other prices, including 395. Repeating carnivore and herbivore missions have about a one-hour cooldown. Territory, migration, and the separate daily Instinct board do not use that same hour lock.
