Get ready for spring, as Core Keeper’s Cherry Blossom Event is now live! This mini-event sees the addition of trees inspired by the Shidarezakura Weeping Cherry and Yoshino Cherry to the game, along with pink and white Cherry Flowers, and a brand-new achievement for you to uncover.

The Cherry Blossom mini-event will run from today until the 31st of March. Will you try your hand at creating a minimalist base? Maybe you’re working on a beautiful garden? No matter what biome you’re building in, it’ll look a whole lot nicer with a Cherry Tree or two. Don’t believe us? Here’s something we whipped up right by The Core!



We hope you enjoy decorating your world with Cherry Trees and that you’re also looking forward to our upcoming Easter Seasonal Event! We’ll be sharing more information on the dates for that in a Steam post tomorrow, so keep an eye out!

We’re always keen to see your screenshots and videos, and you’re welcome to share them with us over on the official Core Keeper Discord server. Make sure you’re keeping up with us on Twitter and over in the Steam Discussions too for more news, information, and announcements.
