Autumn is the harvest season. When the crops are well harvested, people celebrate it during the fallow winter. Over time, it has become the most important festival for the Chinese.

The Chinese also use 12 animals to represent different years. The upcoming Year of the Rabbit in 2023 is the inspiration for our CF New Year creation. We hope to spread the rabbit-style New Year to the world and let people from all over the world share happiness together.

The collection will be available form January 18th (2PM UTC), on The Sandbox Marketplace.
