Hello, this is the Dragon Village Collection development team.

As the spring air enveloping the Yutakan continent grows richer, the vibrant month of May has arrived. With the warm sunshine, Dragons are becoming more active than ever, and we hope this season brings new excitement to your journey as Tamers as well.

This coming May, a variety of updates are in store to further expand the joy of collecting and allow many Tamers to enjoy a wealth of new content. Today, as a first step, we would like to share our May update plans that will breathe new life into your adventures.

● 3rd Anniversary Festival (04.30 ~ 05.20)

First, we are thrilled to announce the grand '3rd Anniversary Festival' to celebrate Dragon Village Collection's 3rd year since launch. Starting April 30 when the update goes live, enjoy the festival by participating in a variety of events for three weeks. We would like to share the 3 key events at the heart of this festival through this Developer Note.

○ Popular Dragon Vote

Hundreds of incredible Dragons are waiting for you in Dragon Village Collection. Some you may have already met, while others may still be a dream or object of admiration.

Through this Popular Dragon Vote, take a look at all the Dragons that appear in Dragon Village Collection and vote to help your favorite Dragon advance to a higher round.

Voting will take place over 3 weeks, with Dragons who advance to higher rounds continuing to compete fiercely for popularity. Tamers who participate in the vote can earn tickets every day to participate in the Wonder Toy Express, so don't miss out!

○ Wonder Toy Express

Leiro, the train conductor Dragon, invites Tamers to a train journey heading to the Toy Planet in celebration of May. Use your 3rd Anniversary Tickets to roll the dice, and the train will move — earning you a variety of rewards depending on where it lands. You can also earn even more special rewards based on your cumulative number of completed runs.

The distance the train travels varies greatly depending on how many tickets you use and the result of the dice rolled. When will the luck of Double Chance or Triple Chance come your way? Put your fortune to the test.

Leiro (Special Form)	Oberon (Special Form)	Caretaker Cuanade (Special Form)

○ My Heart Aura

The 'My Heart Aura' event — where you can create an Aura that's perfectly to your taste and gift it to your precious Dragon — is back!

This time, with the spirit of the 3rd Anniversary, hidden Aura Forms have been added.

Runaway (Hellfire color)	Reverie (Azure color)	Divine (Purity color)

The 3 hidden Aura Forms (Runaway, Divine, Reverie) each have their own unique colors (Erosion, Death, Hellfire / Life, Purity, Gold / Azure, Mystic, Radiance), unlike the standard colors of the existing A, B, C, D, and E Auras.

We are hard at work developing this feature, imagining all the Dragons that will roam the Square with their custom My Heart Auras. Don't miss your chance after the update to customize and attach an Aura that's perfectly to your taste!

○ 3rd Anniversary Square Quest

To celebrate Dragon Village Collection's 3rd Anniversary, Jimon has arrived at the Square riding a Red Dragon balloon, offering quests to commemorate the festival.

3rd Anniversary Jimon

Participate in simple quests to obtain the 3rd Anniversary Jimon and event currency to commemorate this festival. Don't miss Jimon's daily quests!

○ Mini Game: Speed Quiz

The Speed Quiz for Dragon experts is back! When we held the Speed Quiz last June, the development team was genuinely surprised by the scores our Tamers achieved.

We are looking forward to seeing who will show us amazing results this time. You can earn event currency every day as a game reward, so go find Signature Pangpang in the upper right of the Square.

Mini Game: Speed Quiz

Oh, and don't worry about getting questions wrong! You can retry as many times as you like!

● Friend Invite Event (04.30 ~ 05.31)

If you have a dear friend, invite them to the world of Dragon Village Collection so they don't miss this 3rd Anniversary Festival. It might just be the perfect opportunity to enjoy the 3rd Anniversary Festival together and encounter a variety of Dragons.

When the invited friend enters your nickname as a referral and completes the quest, both you and your friend can obtain the special event reward — the Pangpang Dragon Signature Form. Enjoy Dragon Village Collection even more with your friends!

● Monthly Egg (May)

Monthly Egg: Bene

This month's Monthly Egg brings 'Bene,' a Dragon who guards the stars within the hearts of baby Dragons, to celebrate May!

Every baby Dragon living on Dreamstar experiences admiring someone for the very first time after they are born.

Bene, whose name is derived from 'goodness (Bene),' is the kindest teacher, hero, and idol in the world to baby Dragons.

"Bene, can I become as wonderful a Dragon as you someday?"

To this question from baby Dragons, Bene always gives the same answer.

"Of course. Because you are already the most brilliant star in the world!"

Be sure to check out not only Bene's story with the baby Dragons, but also the various Forms of the lovable Bene — one of them might just be perfectly to your taste.

● Wanderer (May)

Allow us to introduce the special Dragon the Wanderer is bringing in May.

Wanderer: Poison Applecheek

Applecheek is a cute Dragon that even beginner Tamers can easily encounter in the Forest of Hope on the Yutakan continent. But unlike Applecheek, who simply picks out delicious apples to eat, Poison Applecheek is a Dragon obsessed with personally refining apples using its own venom.

The poison apples that Poison Applecheek carefully selects are the sweetest in the world, but the moment you take a bite, you are trapped in an eternal dream. This sleep can only be broken by a kiss filled with true love, and Poison Applecheek considers it its mission to verify the sincerity of humans through this process.

Don't miss your chance to meet Poison Applecheek, May's Wanderer Dragon.

● Creator Dragon Drawing Winner Dragon Added (Coming in May)

In this Creator Dragon Drawing event, Tamer DereMose's 'Spirow' has been selected as the winner.

Spirow is an arrow Dragon with incredible speed and rotational power. Thanks to its outstanding rotation, it can demonstrate a variety of techniques when capturing its target.

Not only in the air, but the technique of rotating 360 degrees close to the ground and rapidly diving toward a target is said to be Spirow's signature specialty — one that even other Dragons who consider themselves skilled fliers find difficult to replicate.

The winning Tamer DereMose will receive a special gift containing 4 pairs of Spirow's Eggs on May 7. The 20 Tamers selected as honorable mentions will also receive a special gift on that date.

Other Tamers will be able to meet Spirow through in-game Tales in a future update.

● Dream Egg (Coming in May)

The Dream Egg, where you can encounter baby Dragons from Dreamstar, is coming in May!

Baby Cupid

We'll give you a sneak peek at the color rough sketch of Baby Cupid, currently in progress.

Baby Cupid and Baby Liberte are very soft and adorable Dragons, said to have an even more loving and affectionate nature than other baby Dragons.

Collect all the Dragons from Dreamstar available in May, and you can obtain a special Object as a Bond reward.

● Prism Gate: Toy Arc (Coming in May)

The Prism Gate returns in May with a Toy Planet theme.

Prism Gate: Toy Arc

Toy Arc is a planet made of toys where toy Dragons gather. What kinds of events are unfolding on Toy Arc, where toy Dragons are assembled?

We'll give you a brief sneak peek at the rough sketch of a new Dragon. We look forward to hearing your many guesses about what this Dragon's name might be and what story it holds.

Further details on the Dragons you can meet in Prism Gate - Toy Arc will be provided through a separate notice at a later date.

Even now, the development team's hearts are racing as we put the finishing touches on preparations to present a variety of events to our Tamers for the 3rd Anniversary.

Hundreds of Dragons have been born through the attention and love you have shown us, and Dragon Village Collection has been able to continue growing. Looking back on the journey of the past 3 years, there were certainly moments that were not smooth sailing, but it is thanks to the Tamers who stayed with us through those times that the service has been able to continue until today.

We will continue to build a stronger foundation to become a more stable game that is loved for a very long time. We ask for your continued interest and anticipation as our endless journey goes on.

Thank you.
