Those who sign up early will receive a special reward bundle, featuring the number one to mark the occasion. Players will receive a 'Welcome Maru' statue, 1,111,111 Gold, and 111 Stardust Tickets. Nexture is also providing costume gacha tickets and an ad-removal coupon as part of the rewards.

The official community is also hosting a merchandise event. Players can participate in the 1st Anniversary Expectation event by leaving congratulatory messages, and winners will be selected to receive official merchandise, including a 'Fat Maru' cushion and stress balls.

Nexture plans to continue the celebration with various commemorative events following the 1st-anniversary update.
