This month the Annihilation Team released a small update revealing a seasonal boss, "Wendell", that will only show up from the 1st of December, to the 31st, he's got a number of vicious and powerful attacks to watch out for! They have also refreshed the map rotation and lobby to help spread some holiday cheer! Rumor has it, there is even a hidden XP code to find in the lobby (note: you must be on Minecraft version 1.20+ to find it!).
