Springening is in Bloom

Get a new Legendary Upgrade for Rose in the Prize Map and more!

The Springening festival has sprung, Battle for Neighborville players! Get a just-bloomed Legendary Upgrade for Rose and a fresh dose of springtime sunshine as you tour a budding Giddy Park. Fill your basket with painted eggs, chocolate bunnies, colorful balloons and more – they’re waiting around every corner.

From April 1 – 30, shellebrate the season with egg-cellent items and customizations in the Prize Map, including an all-new Legendary Upgrade! Use your Prize Bulbs to hop through the Prize Map and pick up the Common Hot Dog costume for 80s Action Hero as your mid-festival reward. Continue on down to the end of the Prize Map using a single path to earn the Legendary Celestial Beauty costume and Thorn Apart upgrade for Rose. Then earn Rose’s Legendary Astral Perfection costume when you complete the entire map!

Rose’s Legendary Upgrade, Thorn Apart, adds a new layer of strategy to your game. You can use the upgrade with or without the Legendary Celestial Beauty costume. When you equip the upgrade you'll be able to gain Thorn Apart ammo by using Jinx, Arcane Enigma, and Goatify to strengthen your high-powered homing thorns ability. And remember – you can only earn this Legendary Upgrade in the Springening Prize Map through April 30. After that, it will be available to purchase with Rainbow Stars in Rux’s Emporium.

What will the rest of spring bring? Get ready for birthday cakes and blooming soirees in the Birthdayz and Garden Party Festivals – coming this May and June! We can’t wait to see you out there in Giddy Park, neighbors!

  • It isn’t in bloom in my house(PS4). Failed to retrieve patch, accept user agreement, and can’t connect to EA servers are in bloom in my house. Judging from other posts it isn’t in bloom in other homes either. Yeah yeah connectivity issues “are being looked into” yet this post still goes up. What a cluster.

  • I like what happens when you shoot the small Easter eggs dotted around the bases & Giddy Park - cute! 😂

    @Cameroid07 Hey, we flagged the Mood Swing issue to the QA folks, thanks for mentioning it. 

    @openthedoorhal8 Unfortunately the timing wasn't great, but the festival was up and working for a lot (I think most but I don't have the numbers to hand) of folks. Obviously the issue you mention was a priority, and fortunately it was fixed a little while after it was flagged. Hopefully you got in before long yesterday. 

    @Jacob2of3 I have no word on anything around the Reward-o-tron, sorry. 

    @ToastedSarnie @TheSprinter85 I'm happy you guys are happy!

  • I’m LOVIN’ this fresh, chocolatey and colorful background to happily hop around in while playing my favorite game! I’m looking forward to the egg-citing surprise that is teased to be coming soon. Beautifully done! Thanks. ~ Rose

  • @EA_David  My connectivity is still atrocious as of this morning.  I literally play one Battle Arena per 45 minutes of attempting to play.  

    The game is unplayable for me.

    @spIash_damage Unfortunately I agree there do still seem to be connectivity issues - I've been booted back to the Xbox home screen a couple of times from Ops & loading the game has taken a couple of attempts again today.

    It's not as bad on PC, at least as far as I can tell after we played some last night. I did have to reboot to fix my Origins friends list again but actual play was fine for both me and my friend. With so many being home and using the net, are certain ISP and/or server connections dragging due to possibly overloaded infrastructure? It sure sounds like it.
