The announcement arrived alongside a charming celebration for Collei's birthday. HoYoverse shared new picnic-themed artwork featuring the trainee Forest Ranger, which interestingly doubles as the visual centerpiece for the Special Program reveal. For players, these programs are essential viewing; they typically provide the first look at new character kits, area expansions, and the limited-time redemption codes that offer precious Primogems.
To build momentum for the broadcast, a community raffle event is running from May 8 through May 13, 2026. This gives the community a chance to engage with the "Luna VII" reveal beyond just watching the stream. Results for the raffle are expected to be published on May 18, providing a nice follow-up once the initial hype of the livestream has settled.
While the specific details of "Luna VII" remain under wraps until the stream, the naming convention suggests a significant thematic shift. Whether we are looking at new elemental synergies or a deep dive into the mysteries of Celestia, the Special Program will be the definitive source for the meta-shifting information players are waiting for. Make sure to tune in to catch the latest developments and grab those time-sensitive rewards.
