BFS is no more. I think whatever is happening these past ~3 weeks (no more Halloween theme on double days, temporary change in number of visions per day earlier, and this event extension which I do not recall ever happened before, etc.) are done by the "new owner". Just before Christmas a former BFS employee that stayed until around mid-December said on social media to "not worry" and things will still be running under the new owner.

It is unclear if the new owner is Hasbro or its affiliates, or a separate company (whether the game has been sold and will continue, or still owned by Hasbro but outsourced). I do not expect Hasbro to make a big formal statement - it's just one game, not a major change in the company. And current/former employees may not be allowed to say much.

Remember that when the news first broke on Oct 23, 2019 that BFS is closing, the official last day was Dec 23, 2019, with (part of?) the DV team staying waiting for a final decision on DV. I saw on another forum before that the only other BFS game that survived is now handled by a second company (as above, not sure exactly what that means) and people are wondering that'll happen to DV as well.

Anyway whoever the new owner is, unless they have played the game before for long enough, it would take time for the "new wizards" to get familiar enough with it, before we see things added with fewer misses, and maybe eventually major updates.
