Event Adjustments

Notice on Schedule Adjustment for the Free Elite Skin Event

As the test sample size for the Free Elite Skin event has reached the required threshold, the event, originally scheduled to end at 23:59:59 on 12/25/2025 (Server Time), will now end earlier at 23:59:59 on 12/14/2025 (Server Time).

Players who were unable to obtain the skin chest due to the shortened event period need not worry. We will review participation records dated 12/14. If you have not obtained the skin chest by the end of the event, we will reissue it to eligible players after the event ends.
