What an egg-cellent time.
Happy Easter, players!
The weather is starting to warm up, the skies are getting clearer, and the lovely green of nature spreads throughout the land again; spring is here, and with it comes Easter! As always, we here in Crescent like to celebrate as well - and what better way is there than brand new Easter-themed content?
Our Easter 2020 event brings a lovely variety of goods to CTTT (other than egg puns): new wearables, a new Weapon Replacer, and - yes, you're reading this right - new chat Emoji!. That's right - our Emoji system is finally getting a long-overdue refresh, with four new packs, fixes and corrections to existing Emoji, and general improvements.
But that's not all: for the 'mini-game' part of the event, we bring you... well, eggs. Easter eggs. But they're not just any Easter eggs, mind you; they're much more interesting than that. Each of these four new Easter eggs is actually a grenade, and packs a special power! These useful little devices will spawn around the map during the event, and I'm sure you will quickly find out just how useful they are.
Oh, and... there's one more thing. But you're going to have to be patient with this one - more details soon.
CTTT's Easter event will run from today, April 12th, and until the last minute of April 19th. Hop on, collect some eggs, buy some cool items, and throw highly-dangerous Easter eggs at each other! It's gonna to be fun.
Finally: alongside the event, we are also deploying a bunch of bug fixes and improvements to other areas in the game. Here are the details!
