Liftoff Lantern fest!



Lanterns up, lanterns high,
Floating in the air, up to the sky.

Special lantern festivals are held all over the world, at different times and for different reasons. Some have floating lanterns, others have them flying, in our very own homage to these beautiful events we have them doing both! Go explore these time limited lighbaring landscapes in our 2 week in-game festival.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, and the same can be said for our upcoming in-game event. There are no special features, achievements, or XP points to be earned - just pure beauty waiting to be discovered. ... or as our artist Vincent prophetically proclaimed "Here's some floaty stuff you can chase". Enjoy!

Easter egg hunt!



With a whir and a buzz, your drone takes to air,
To find Easter eggs, hidden everywhere!


Find all easter eggs in a single environment during the Easter event and unlock the "Easter Egg Hunting" achievement. Have an egg-cellent hunt!
