There's plenty of new content to enjoy, so let's dive into it!

Then, April is packed with thrilling festivities, starting with the Dungeon Rush event, where adventurers can push their limits and reap valuable rewards. Following that, the Super Adventure Festival returns with new rewards, bringing nostalgic fun and platforming challenges to all who dare to enter Moto's pixelated world.

May brings even more opportunities to dive into the action. Revisit past adventures in the Return to End of Dragons event, then sharpen your competitive edge with the PvP Rush event.
