The Easter weekend offers four days of free time for all kinds of games. Some of them even have special events for Easter. Find out here which online games best capture the Easter spirit!
Easter tempts in real life with many holidays, during which you can take walks, go on trips, have barbecues, and hunt for Easter eggs. Or you can play online games, because the festival of colorful eggs is also a theme in various games. But even if there’s no Easter celebration in a game, there are still plenty of special events during the holidays.
Easter in Games – These Events are Available
In the following paragraphs, you will learn what special activities are offered for Easter in Black Desert Online, Pokémon GO, Destiny, Overwatch, and WildStar.
Overwatch – Uprising for Easter
In Blizzard’s hero shooter Overwatch, the “Uprising” takes place during Easter. Play through a tragic episode from Overwatch’s past in PvE mode and earn new loot boxes. These contain new skins, emotes, highlights, intros, and spray paints for Tracer, McCree, Widowmaker, and Torbjörn during the event. The event runs until May 1, so hurry up!
Black Desert Online – Goose Eggs and Tulips
Black Desert Online also celebrates Easter – just like the game with the donkeys celebrates every holiday in some way. During Easter time, tulips bloom everywhere, and for the full Easter experience, you collect goose eggs. You bring these to the NPC Florin and receive a quest that sends you hunting for the golden goose. The event runs until April 19.
Pokémon GO – Double XP and Super Eggs!
Pokémon GO offers double experience points for all actions in the game during Easter. That’s pretty great! There is also a special egg event for Easter. Collect eggs during the event that are worth 2 kilometers and hatch them. You will receive more candies than usual and can find creatures that are normally not in 2km eggs. But watch out: This only applies to the eggs you find and hatch during the event. The Easter event in Pokémon GO ends on April 20 at 10:00 PM.
WildStar – Double Experience Points Over the Weekend
In WildStar, from April 14 to 17, you can earn double experience points. No matter what you do, it’s worth twice as much! Ideal for exploring the new progression system of the Urmatrix, as you also need experience points for that.
Destiny – Iron Banner for Easter
In Destiny, you don’t celebrate Easter; you celebrate the Iron Banner! In April, the popular Iron Banner event returns and offers unique loot once again. This time, Lord Efrideet has the noble shotgun “The Proud Tower Top” and the auto-rifle “The Unyielding Tree”. Follow the link to find out how to get the coveted Iron Banner items in Destiny this April.
