Reminders
PC launch is coming soon! On the 10th players will be able to play Sky on PC again!
This week is traveling spirit week! We already know it will be Sassy Drifter but TGC wants to keep things mysterious until the 9th when they will reveal the traveling spirit officially.
Days of Bloom is still ongoing! It will end April 15th so make sure you get all your tickets before then!
Traveling Spirits
Keeping consistent with the past few TGC released a hint for the next two traveling spirit locations. These spirits are already confirmed since the PC launch is coming soon. Sassy Drifter will be coming on the 11th to welcome PC players and Dancing Performer will be back on the 25th.
New Taipei Sky Assembly
There will be a Sky assembly in New Taipei City on May 25th! If you're able to go registration ends April 15th. Register for the event here:New Taipei Sky Assembly
SkyFest
TGC is planning something special for the 5th anniversary. Part of the event will be a Sky Assembly in Tokyo, Japan on July 13-14. It will be a ticketed event and people who buy tickets will be able to get a few special goodies. (what this will be hasn't been revealed)
Here's some of the activities that will be there at the event:
- A recreation of the downtown Aviary Village area
- Live developer presentations
- Skyshop pop-up shop
- An opportunity to meet the team behind The Art of Sky: Narrative Writer Jennie Kong, Visual Design Lead Yui Tanabe, and Art Director Cecil Kim
- The History of Sky art exhibit
- A number of exciting in-person mini-games
- Themed photo spots
- A special mystery announcement about something coming to Sky later this year
The devs know not everyone will be able to make it to this event so part of Skyfest will happen in-game with festival tech similar to what was used during the encore. If you've been keeping up with beta you may have an idea of what this will look like. All we can say is that it'll be an exciting opportunity to connect with the community.

Communities in Flight
SORA 🔆
They held a raffle today for next season's pass! To enter participants had to share a picture of their Skykid dressed as a moth and doing the butterfly emote and answer this question in game chat: "Where would you build a house in Sky?" They do a lot of quick events like this so be sure to check them out if you haven't yet!
Aurora 2.0
They held their mega concert gathering yesterday and managed to get 344 people there! Keep an eye out for more news about the mega concerts, the next one will be May 4, 2024 4:00 PM CDT!
They also have a screenshot contest going on! Participants have until April 10, 2024 5:59 PM CDT to submit a screenshot centering around the Aurora concert or Days of Bloom for a chance for their picture to become the next server banner. After submissions end, the community will have until April 14, 5:59 PM CDT to vote for the screenshot they'd like to see as the next banner!

Ancient Memories
Festival Tech
Anyone who's been around since the season of Aurora knows what these mega servers are and has seen them during Days Of events or in Areas like the Nighttime Colosseum or Aviary Fireworks show. The server limit is still 8 people but with these mega servers many Skykids can be seen in the same place at once.
The first one was for the Aurora concert and each row in the colosseum was a server for 8 to watch the concert. During the season it fit 4,000 people and later was made to fit a bit more than 10,000 people for the Aurora encore event that was also a world record attempt! The official record is 10,061.
