Trivia[]

Taymaster initially told users on Twitter that Season 5 would be released along with player homes,^[1] although backtracked on that statement and delayed their release "to make sure they are actually good".^[2]
The player housing update was initially planned for the weekend of January 18th, 2020.^[3]
- The date was later narrowed down to the 18th,^[4] however, it was delayed once again, the only confirmation on its date being that it would not be delayed a full week (which was later fulfilled, evading a week-long delay by one day).^[5]
The Pyramid's door will turn gold-colored when closed as opposed to sticking to its new, white color.
The secret animated skins are not listed in the Season Rewards. They were added retrospectively in the February 10th, 2020 update.
This is the only season to have ice covering the water.
