March has very good holidays, but the Ear Watch world adds another.
PachiMarchi, the annual celebration of the game’s beautiful Pachimari mascot, now has its own challenge that runs from March 9 to 22. While details are scarce about the rewards of the challenge, we can reasonably guarantee that they will be adorable.
Ear WatchThe challenges of the players are usually to win nine matches in a competitive mode, play fast or in an arcade to unlock a specific skin or cosmetic reward. The last challenge was Hanzo’s Kanezaka Challenge, which included an epic skin for the hero, as well as the launch of a new card that was available to everyone for free. The PachiMarchi challenge can involve a Pachimari skin for a hero (we certainly hope).
One of the game’s most recognizable mascots, the Pachimari is equal parts onion and octopus with a big, cute head and small tentacles. The being is a ubiquitous part of the Ear Watch universe and can be found on almost every map in some form or form. Cards Hanamura and Busan, for example, contain Pachimari crane games and free card for Kanezaka has a full-scale Pachimari arcade.
Pachimari soft figures are also hidden in tons Ear Watch cards. In the Junkertown striker, players will see Roadhog and Junkrat lying around with some spicy Pachimari friends. A large Pachimari plush can be found on the table in each “ship” that sprays in front of a control card.
The cute figures also made it to the real world. Ear Watch fans can buy all kinds of Pachimari goods in the Blizzard store, including mugs, hoodies and small plushies.
The PachiMarchi challenge starts on March 9 and lasts until March 22.
