Poker M4 Returns After Five Years in Universal Rings
Resol Gaming confirms Poker M4 is making a comeback — a first in five years — and this time it's shifting to Universal Rings instead of Special Tokens, which amplifies its rarity significantly. The content creator emphasizes he's been the only YouTuber consistently tracking Universal Ring returns on the lineup, building credibility for these leaks. Poker M4 historically arrives every May, so late May or early June is the expected window. The unusual move to Universal Rings (not Special Tokens) marks a major departure from past cycles, suggesting Garena is repositioning weapon skins as premium universal drops. Players interested in Poker M4 should prepare diamonds accordingly, as the access pathway will likely be through Token Tower or special events similar to other high-tier returns.
Eclipse Event and Evo Bundle: Two Routes to New Cosmetics
Eclipse Event officially launches May 8 with a signature visual gimmick: the lobby and sky alternate between sun and moon themes throughout the event duration, creating dynamic atmosphere changes. Free web event rewards kick off immediately, including exclusive Eclipse tokens (sun and moon variants) plus horse ride cosmetics available in-game during the 8-day window. The new Eclipse Evo Bundle arrives May 11 via an Addition Event (first-time acquisition, expensive, capped at 100 players) but becomes far more accessible May 15 through the Token Tower grind at 3,000-4,000 diamonds. Token Tower rewards include Hyperboost Match 10 Katana skins, loot box cosmetics, avatar bonuses, and the full Eclipse Bundle itself. The dual-path system ensures both whale and f2p players can obtain the bundle, though timing and diamond investment differ significantly between routes.
Universal Ring Returns and Ninth Anniversary Megastruture
Multiple Universal Ring returns are queued for May-June: Angellic Pen returns with new white and red variants (previously missing from earlier drops), Unicorn Bundle with female variant, gloves, and backpack skins, and Paper Cut UMP confirmed alongside new Hyperboost Match 10 gun skins. The creator notes all these confirmations came from file analysis and lineup tracking, establishing a pattern of rare bundles rotating back through Universal Rings every few months. Ninth Anniversary special (June 24–July 15) represents the event cycle's centerpiece: fully customizable themed bundles with color/style flexibility, new vehicles exclusive to the anniversary, fresh guns, and a major UI overhaul. This nine-week window consolidates Eclipse Event fallout, Football special aftermath, and prepares the game for Q3, making it the densest cosmetic release window of 2026 so far.
Paper Cut UMP Crossover and May Event Density
Paper Cut UMP is returning and bundling with new Hyperboost Match 10 gun skins, creating a combined cosmetic package that spans multiple gun types. The creator stresses Paper Cut UMP is locked onto the lineup and will arrive regardless of which event pairs it — either May alongside guns or June during the next returns cycle. May 13 features a Lucky Wheel event (date pending official banner confirmation) and a Football special Disc Event, layering cosmetic rotations atop the core Eclipse Event structure. By mid-May, players will see overlapping events: Addition Event (Eclipse Evo May 11), Token Tower (Eclipse Evo May 15), Lucky Wheel (May 13), Football Disc (May 13), and Purple Shaded Bundle (May 5 Universal Rings), creating extreme compression of content drops and requiring strategic diamond allocation.
