Hey Panda Peeps,

Look at your weather app. Now look at us. Look back at your weather app. Now look back at us. No matter what your weather app says, we want you to feel warm and happy. Now look over there - it’s the returning Beach Bash Event!

That’s right, you can go ahead and forget the weather outside, because our summer-themed parallel event is back, baby! Just like last time, you can expect a ton of tropical tasks, sunshiny goals, and amazing pirate booty. Ship-captain Kira is sailing into port once again, so if you didn’t unlock her the first time around, this is your chance!

Now close out of that weather app and open your calendar app instead, because you’ll want to remember these dates. The Beach Bash starts January 25 and ends January 31, which means there’s still time to dig out your swimsuit if you hurry!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps!

Or should that be “Hey Sirina?” As in…

Hey Sirina, play our afternoon nap playlist! Add bamboo shoots to our shopping list! Set a reminder to log in to Crush Crush every day!

You might want to ask your virtual assistant of choice to do that last one, as well, because your virtual gf Sirina is back now as a Limited Time Event! Log in every day, collect your Daily Event Tokens, and discover for yourself why she’s the most helpful AI around!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps!

That telltale chill is in the air again, and it’s time to get into your comfy mittens, puffy jackets, and hats with silly pompoms! Frostmas is just around the corner, and Rosa needs your help making sure that pesky snow doesn’t ruin the warmest holiday celebration of the year. That includes convincing our brand new reward character, the busy ballerina Grace, to stay a while!

That's right, we said brand new reward character! Soft and gentle like the falling snow, but as strong and powerful as a winter wind, we know you’re going to love this optimistic new girl! Let her bring a warm smile to your face, and a warm feeling to your heart.

Remember, this special reward character can ONLY be unlocked by completing the Frosty Event. This edition runs from December 20 to 25, so limber up, assemble your resources, and get to it!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps!

There’s ten… twenty… thirty… forty inches of snow piling up, burying the spirit of Frostmas in a white winter wonderland! Cold wind from the Frosty Parallel Event beckons you again, promising a variety of seasonal tasks, spirited goals, and jolly rewards, including an all-new, fully dateable girl for you to unlock! She’s beauty and she’s grace… we can’t wait for you to see her face! And the rest of her. She's very elegant.

The returning Frosty Event will run from December 20 to 25. Make sure to get some stretching in before then, because this beautiful girl will keep you on your toes!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps!

Grab your seasonally appropriate drink and come sit by the absolute fire we’re about to lay down!

From December 14 to January 5, we’ve rounded up every beautiful Limited Time Event girl for an end-of-the-year celebration. That’s right, you heard us! All of them! It’s quite the party in the in-game Store, and we’re expecting you! Grab 20% off all Diamond Bundles as the best party favor ever. Enjoy a flirty 10% off all Girl Bundles as a way to keep you warm on these long December nights. Take it from us, winter’s so much better cuddled up to your Crush Crush!

We love you so hard!

Hey Panda Peeps,

A certain someone has had a glow-up.

Ayano, the yandere girl who loves you just a little too hard, is now Ayeka - a yandere girl who loves you just a little too hard. She’s totally the same, but also totally different!

Cameo characters are fun while they last, but it was time for our yandere girl to stand on her own two feet. We’ve tweaked some dialogue, given her a new name, and freshened up her look - but don’t worry, her complete and utter devotion to you remains unhinged. Err, unchanged.

We love you so hard!

The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps!

The time has come for the ravishing Roxxy to return! If you haven’t had a chance to meet our bubbly and bodacious dance babe, you can do it now through the Limited Time Event. Log in daily to collect all the event tokens and unlock Crush Crush’s dancing queen. Don’t miss this opportunity to revel in glitter and glow sticks! Her hips don’t lie, and neither will yours. Wink wink!

Let’s all do the hop-to-it, and get this glam girl into your game!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps!

It’s the time of year to be thankful for the people who bring happiness into your life. We could try and find the words to tell you how eternally grateful we are for all our amazing Panda Peeps, but sometimes it’s best to let the savings speak for us!

From November 21 to 27, all DLC and Limited Time Event girls in the store are 20% off. Plus, when you make a Diamond purchase, we’ll fill your pockets with 20% more than what you paid for! Between the bonus Diamonds and having a bunch of our lovely ladies at a reduced price, we hope the way we feel about our wonderful community comes through loud and clear.

We love you SO hard!
