Event Changes
Players cannot expect much from the New Year's Event. History has shown that New Year's events include the implementation of the Firework item and nothing else.
Bloxburg continues to be in a Winter theme with this event. This means that snow will continue to fall. Since this update does come right after the Christmas event, locations tend to stay the same as they were with the Christmas update. Players can go to the Ice Skating Rink and Sledding Hut for the rest of the Winter season.
Trivia
Version 0.9.4 features the longest time a New Year’s Event has stayed on Welcome to Bloxburg, with 37 days leading to Version 0.9.5.
Combined with Version 0.9.3, 2020-21 set a record for the longest time the Winter map has stayed on the game, totaling 57 days.
