The year is 2026, and while Teyvat keeps spinning and the Traveler keeps chasing Archons, one thing hasn’t changed: fans still crave a beautiful monthly calendar to adorn their screens. HoYoverse knows this obsession all too well. Long before the current version shenanigans, back in the spring of 2025, they dropped a wallpaper set so charming that it still makes old-school Travelers smile. Let’s take a waltz down memory lane and revisit the April 2025 PC and mobile calendar event—a little time capsule of pastel blooms, Primogem dreams, and that classic HoYoverse flair.
The centerpiece was, naturally, the artwork. Four distinct wallpapers, each starring a beloved character, were released to wrap every device in a soft, springtime hug. Klee, the little Spark Knight, looked adorably cheeky surrounded by lilies and pastel blossoms—her backpack probably hiding a few freshly picked and highly explosive flowers, because, well, that’s Klee. Sucrose appeared amid a forest of specimen jars and glowing petals, her ears practically twitching with botanical excitement. Lisa, the librarian with a secret love for lazy afternoons, sipped something that definitely wasn’t tea while roses framed her serene expression. And then, there was Kaeya, leaning against a sun-dappled wall with a mysterious smirk, half-hidden by blossoms as if he’d just orchestrated the whole affair. Every image was a tiny narrative, whispering, “Come on, you know you want to make this your lock screen.”
But let’s be real—the wallpapers were just the appetizer. The main course was a Primogem giveaway, and HoYoverse cooked up a delicious little event. They dangled 160 Primogems in front of 100 lucky winners, which, in gacha mathematics, translates to exactly one crisp pull towards that pity counter. Better than a kick in the shins, right? The contest ran from March 31 to April 9, 2025, wrapping up at 23:59 (UTC+8), giving fans a ten-day window to shoot their shot.
Participation was a breeze, albeit with a platform-hopping scavenger hunt feel. On X (formerly Twitter), Travelers had to share the official post and sprinkle the hashtag #GenshinImpactCalendar into a message about what they wanted to do in April. Maybe someone whispered “touch grass,” while others begged for a Wanderer rerun. On Facebook, Instagram, Naver Cafe, Telegram, VK, and Reddit, the drill was similar: like the post, drop your UID in the comments, and share your April aspirations. Hold your seahorses, though—setting accounts to public was non-negotiable. A locked profile meant a locked vault of Primogems, and nobody wanted that.
Now, the fine print was as layered as Abyss floor 12. HoYoverse laid down the law with ten bullet points that could make even Yanfei sweat. Plagiarism? Banned. Multiple entries across platforms? Allowed, but a player could only win once, and prize stacking was a no-go. If the same poetic entry won on both X and Reddit, the reward went to the platform where it surfaced first after final verification—talk about a digital race. True to their meticulous form, the devs also reminded everyone that UIDs would be published on the event platform and protected under local privacy laws. Ah, the delicate dance of sharing and safeguarding.
The company even warned that changing your X account info before prize delivery could nuke your eligibility, which felt oddly personal—like a stern librarian shushing you for returning a book with a dog-eared page. The Primogems would arrive within 30 business days after the results announcement, which was slated for April 18, 2025. For the winners, it was probably the slowest four to six weeks of their lives, with every in-game mail notification causing a spike in heart rate.
What’s remarkable, looking back from the forward-looking perch of 2026, is how these community events have remained a beloved ritual. The April 2025 calendar didn’t just offer wallpapers; it handed out a small emotional quest. Over a hundred thousand players likely dashed off a comment, dreaming of spring adventures while quietly plotting their next spiral abyss team. The comment sections bloomed with travel plans, academic deadlines, and the eternal refrain: “I want to pull for Venti, but my wallet says no.”
One detail that still tickles the funny bone is the strict no-stacking reward clause, which prompted a collective, “Oh, honey, I can’t even win on one platform, let alone two.” The random draw meant that luck governed all, turning every like and share into a tiny prayer to the RNG gods. Did the gods listen? For 100 Travelers, they absolutely did. For the rest, they received consolation in the form of stunning free wallpapers that made every phone feel like a window into Teyvat’s spring.
And so, even in 2026, a decent number of holdout fans still rock that April 2025 Kaeya wallpaper—smeared with pixel dust and nostalgia. The lesson? A good calendar event never truly fades; it simply becomes a seasonal memory, ready to be screenshotted and revisited whenever someone needs a dose of bloom-drenched escapism. Until the next anniversary wallpaper drop, may your devices stay floral and your Primogems plentiful.
