Project YoRHa brought five Legendary skins
The collaboration paired Kiriko with 2B, Wuyang with 9S, Vendetta with A2, Mercy with Commander White, and Lifeweaver with Adam. A dedicated event hub and themed lobby accompanied the collection during its March 10-23 run.
Challenges supplied additional name cards, a player title, and a weapon charm. The roster choices leaned toward characters whose stories already involved duty, sacrifice, control, or distance from ordinary human life.
Underwatch deliberately stepped outside normal balance
From April 1-13, Underwatch became the annual rules-off event. Physics, abilities, and hero interactions were altered for discovery and comedy rather than competitive consistency.
The midcycle also added Mythic Hop Online! Mei, built around a streamer-idol theme with hairstyle, color, ambient-effect, and ability-effect options. The Voidwalker collection followed in the shop at the end of March.
The first Drive used Reign of Talon styling
Season 1's Drive ran April 9-13 with a black-and-red Signature and Conquest cosmetics. Players progressed through checkpoints using Drive Score, with wins and grouped play advancing the track faster.
The announcement bundled several separate reasons to return across the remaining weeks of the season rather than dropping every reward on one date. Double-XP weekends and Twitch drops filled the gaps between the larger event windows.
