Hey everyone!

Today's update brings a close to our festive event: Trivia Snowdown. We hope you all had fun taking on Santa and Krampus in Co-Op and managed to collect a new hat or two for your troubles! The missions, any unbought festive cosmetics and the Boss challenge will no longer be available until next year. The Winter Village stage however will still be selectable from the stage select menu so feel free to return whenever you like.



Some other non-event related updates includes visual clarity to help you see who was correct or incorrect when an answer is revealed. Your podium will now display a tick or a cross for all to see. There's no hiding your mistakes now! A lot of behind the scenes fixes have been implemented for a smoother gameplay experience too!
