To my fellow Crossy Road fans: Kung Hei Fat Choi! Now go forth and unlock Crossy Road’s new Chinese New Year characters.

Its latest update is no exception, especially as it’s actually released in celebration of the Chinese New Year. As such, I always find that a notable update to the game is cause for celebration. I’ve been addicted to Crossy Road since its release in November last year.

The remaining Chinese New Year character is a Chinese dragon named Xi, which can be unlocked via a $0.99 in-app purchase or in exchange for coins through the game’s prize machine.Ĭompatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 7.0 or later, Crossy Road is available on the App Store for free, with in-app purchases offered for unlocking additional characters.Ĭreated by the Australian developer Hipster Whale, Crossy Road was updated last month with MFi controller support and new characters including ones inspired by Australian animals, apparently in celebration of Australia Day on Jan. (Spoiler: It’s the Chinese god of prosperity Cai Shen.) Unsurprisingly, Fortune Chicken comes with a new Chinese New Year-inspired Crossy Road theme, which features fireworks, lanterns, pagodas, and cards bearing the yuan sign.Īs it turns out, collecting a certain number of those cards unlocks one of the other new Chinese New Year characters, which is a mystery character. It’s free for a limited time, so make sure to unlock it at no cost while you can in the game’s character selection screen. Fortune Chicken is a sort of Chinese version of Crossy Road’s default “Why did the chicken cross the road?” character.

But more notably, it introduces three new characters inspired by the Chinese New Year.įirst and foremost, there’s Fortune Chicken, which is also featured on the game’s new icon. The update delivers fixes for the game’s save system. The wildly popular endless arcade hopper Crossy Road has just received an update in celebration of the Chinese New Year on Feb.
