Overview
- NetEase rolled out the Anniversary/Season 5 update on Nov. 27, adding the 36-player Annihilation playlist and its purpose-built Grand Garden battleground.
- Annihilation scores by eliminations in quick matches, with outlets reporting a six-minute timer and a 120-point target where the higher score wins if time runs out.
- Hero selection is unrestricted in the new mode, allowing duplicate picks so teams can field multiple instances of the same character.
- Players can match against AI or real opponents, with AI queues delivering faster matchmaking and easier foes, according to VideoGamer.
- The event includes new cosmetics and free currency, with a reported 1,500 Units login reward and additional limited-time giveaways detailed by ComicBook.com.
