Ubisoft and Blue Byte are organizing an in-game event that includes new adventures and special prizes. This party spirit aims to thank players for the tremendous success of the Settlers series over two decades.

The event has two parts, one composed by two distinct adventures inspired on the Settlers II: the Retro Click Adventures, available for all players, and the Semi-Retro Military Adventures, accessible only to players above level 26. The second segment of the event involves a balloon contest, where players must represent and fight for their server. The server that accomplishes the objectives first will be awarded extra prizes. Ubisoft explained the event:

A new “balloon” resource will also be made available. This lootable resource will contribute to the community effort: each server will be ranked according to its global number of balloons, so if players work together they will get the best rewards. Additionally, servers will have to reach a certain amount of balloons. When a server completes 100% of its balloon objective, its users are automatically rewarded with the Settlers II original headquarters.
