Alchemy Stars is looking forward to celebrating their 2nd Anniversary with events and gifts that potentially rival their previous birthday.
Alchemy Stars 2nd Year Anniversary The Biggest Celebration Yet
Reminiscing 1 Year Passed
June 8 marks the start of TourDog Studios' Alchemy Stars celebrating their 2nd Anniversary. What the events hold has yet to be discovered, but we can look back at their first Anniversary to guess what's in store.
2-Year Exclusive Aurorian
With the confirmation of exclusive Aurorian recruitment coming with the event, bets are on that it will be a major character in the story. Players guess that the Aurorian will be a six-star version of Mia, judging by the usage of Carleen on the 2nd Anniversary promotional material and that she will be a Fire Detonator. However, that remains to be seen as there's still no official announcement regarding who it will be.
There is also the possibility that there will be more than one recruitment banner for the event, as the game's 1st Anniversary had both the Enlightened Illumination banner to get Reinhardt and the Lone Vigilante banner to get Deft Blades Barton. The Anniversary also added to the story mode, introducing Keen Sight Vice, a third six-star Aurorian, and the SSR version of the main character's partner.
For all we know, we might get more than three new Aurorians to recruit, this time.
2-Year Anniversary Event Story
The game's promotional material mentioned a brand new event story coming with the 2nd Anniversary celebrations. Whether or not this will only be accessible during a limited time is unknown, as the previous Anniversary didn't have one. Instead, the 1st Anniversary added chapters 11 and 12 to the main story, which the player can readily access once they clear the previous chapters.
The end of chapter 12 was also where you could get the free yet powerful Keen Sight Vice, a stark upgrade from her five-star form. Will the 2nd Anniversary also provide us with another strong welfare unit?
Commemorative 2-Year Anniversary Community Event
This will be a new type of event to be introduced to Alchemy Stars' Anniversary lineup. In fact, there may be more than one of these, as the game is already hyping the 2nd Anniversary with a community event on Twitter. All you need to do is to head over to their Twitter page, look for the 2nd Anniversary Message Collection post, and leave a message there to your favorite Aurorian. 5 lucky winners will receive a mystery bag of goodies!
Here is their Twitter post for easier navigation:
2-Year Anniversary Special Animation
Returning from their previous celebrations, Alchemy Stars will release another animated video to commemorate their 2nd birthday.
Aside from the special animated video, Alchemy Stars and its development team also released several other videos during its last Anniversary, including two music videos, a Q&A session for the global community, well-wishes from the Aurorians' voice actors and actresses, and a couple of promotional videos.
Special 2-Year Anniversary Livestream
Another returning event will be the Anniversary Livestream. This is usually done on their official Japanese YouTube channel where they announce details regarding upcoming events, their plans for the game, their reactions to community feedback, etc. That is also where they first reveal redeemable codes, so active players tend to monitor the streams closely.
Due to the game's apparently unfortunate fiscal month during April according to Sensor Tower data, many people speculate that the game's 2nd Anniversary is a make-or-break moment. However, many people also think that the game still has a future ahead of it due to the developers' evident passion for it. Regardless, Alchemy Stars is still preparing for its grandest month to date.
Their 2nd Anniversary will be from June 8, 2023, to July 5, 2023.
