Hey Panda Peeps!

You may have seen that we recently teased the Crush Crush artbook as part of our 10th Anniversary celebration. Well, we're here to let you know that the artbook has officially LAUNCHED! Yes, you can now own 1300 pages of high-resolution digital illustrations from the past decade of Crush Crush, including full-body character sprites (yes! You can see their feet!), sketches and concept art, backgrounds, pinups, and even scrapped designs! You can check out the Store Page HERE.

But wait, there's more!

One thing you may have noticed recently is that Cassie's looking much nicer in her in-game CGs. That's right, we've updated Cassie's intro, friendship, kiss, and final CG art to be cleaner, crisper, and generally prettier! We plan to give the same treatment to several more of the early-game girls, so keep your eyes peeled. This is part of an overall art and user experience "refresh" that will include better early-game balancing, a smoother tutorial, and even some UI updates.

As for exciting stuff happening outside of the game, we're doing a giveaway of 10 plushies on Twitter/X in honor of our 10th Anniversary! By participating, you could win a Mio, Quill, Bonnibel, Elle, Iro, or Peanut plush. Oh, and there's one more reason you might want to keep an eye on our social media - soon, we'll be sharing a few more 10th Anniversary Crush Crush surprises. Like this anniversary music video! For this song, we commissioned Scarlet Moon, who worked closely with our writing team to craft a cute and catchy Crush Crush song we really hope you'll love.

If you're still reading, wow! Thanks! How about we leave you with some fun Crush Crush facts? In the past ten years, we've released 82 fully-dateable girls! (That's counting Ginger & Wasabi as two individuals, by the way.) We've also released 47 pinups, 46 Phone Flings, and run 46 Parallel Events and 295 Limited Time Events! Over the past decade, 5.37 million people have played Crush Crush on PC (and 7.5 million on mobile) for a total active play time of 55 million hours. Wow, our minds are blown!

We’re not really sure how to end this, so we’ll just say that we are so so so so so SO grateful to all of you who have made 10 years of Crush Crush possible. We love you SO. HARD.

Hey Panda Peeps,

Can you believe it’s Crush Crush’s TENTH birthday this year?! What a milestone! We’ve got loads of surprises in store for you to celebrate, but let’s start things off with a birthday pinup that’s as sweet as Bonnibel’s secret buttercream recipe! All you have to do to unlock it for your Memory Album is log in to Crush Crush between now and February 12th… and make a wish, of course! And if you log in during that time you'll also unlock a special Anniversary hat for your marshmallow avatar.

As for us? Our biggest wish is for all of you to keep your eyes peeled for more birthday fun over the coming days! Including this shiny artbook...!!!

We love you so hard x 10

Hey Panda Peeps,

Do you like the strong, silent type? What about a gal with huge… weaponry? Boy howdy, do we have the waifu for you: Claudia! And you can add her to your game by completing the Limited Time Event that's on now!

Just log in every day to collect all your Daily Tokens, and this fantasy gal will finally be all yours. It’s a bit of a time commitment, sure, but it’s less grinding than a JRPG!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps,

We hope you saved room for dessert, because the Valentine’s Event is back, and it’s sweeter than ever! From now until February 2nd, enter the Land of Love, where you’ll have the chance to woo some of your favorite beauties all over again… as well as meet someone new!

Completing your romantic Event Goals earns you Tickets that you can spend according to your heart’s desire in the Ticket Booth, but if we may make a suggestion? The featured unlockable girl is none other than sweet (and spicy) Sugar! This tongue-tingling cinnamon heart came all the way from the Magical Land of Candy to experience something new and exciting: you! And hot sauce. But mostly you!

The only way to get to know her is to choo-choo-choose to jump through that Event Portal, so what are you waiting for?

We love you so hard,

The Pandas
