Tower Unite - MacDGuy


WINTER QUESTS AND HOLIDAY EVENTS HAVE STARTED!!

Winter Holiday Events are here!

There are three exciting Holiday Quests to participate in!

Spread holiday joy and help Santa Claws deliver gifts to the hardworking Plaza staff, share the joy of hats, and find the missing reindeer!

Find the quest-givers in the Central Fountain area!

In addition, the usual Holiday cheer has swept through Tower Unite! Enjoy beautiful holiday decorations in the Plaza, earn Holiday Coins from playing games, and deck yourself out with some festive gear at Santa Claws’ store!




HOLIDAY PLAYER PROFILE BACKGROUNDS

We have added 5 new holiday backgrounds to Santa's Workshop. We plan to have more in the next update.



MORE HOLIDAY FUN & ITEMS ARE ON THE WAY!!!

While the events have just started, we're still currently in the middle of a major Plaza update which we're working to get out very soon. The next Plaza update will have new Winter items and should be out within the next week or two.

As we've been saying, we've been working hard on bug fixes, which this new Plaza update addresses. This is all a part of the Road to 1.0.


DECEMBER EVENTS CALENDAR

Just a reminder, here is the December Calendar for TU! We’ve got some special winter / holiday themed bonus events going on in the next few weeks so be sure to hop on for that if you’re interested!




Happy Holidays from the TU Team!

This isn’t the last of our holiday fun this year, but we did want to wish you all a Happy Holiday season!

We hope you all have a great time in the game and out of it, and we thank you guys for your support this year! It’s meant the world to us! :]
