Heartopia’s first major crossover event of 2026 brings a dose of Equestria’s magic and friendship into the cozy life-sim world. Players will join forces with familiar My Little Pony characters, unlock exclusive outfits and vehicles, and take part in a limited-time story centered on restoring the Tree of Harmony. Here’s everything you need to know about this Valentine’s Day collaboration and how to make the most of it.
Release Date & Pre-Event Schedule
The Heartopia x My Little Pony collaboration officially launches on February 14, 2026. Ahead of the main event, a pre-event begins on February 7, giving players a week to prepare and earn early rewards. This staggered schedule lets you ease into the festivities and start collecting exclusive items even before the full crossover goes live.
Pre-event (Feb 7–13): Complete daily login puzzles to unlock a limited Spike pet costume and Time-Limited Exhibition Passes.
Main event (Feb 14–March): Full crossover story, themed gacha pools, and Harmony challenges begin.
Event Theme & Story Concept
The collaboration centers on the iconic Tree of Harmony from the My Little Pony universe, which mysteriously appears on Whale Island. Players must collect and use the Elements of Harmony — Honesty, Generosity, Loyalty, Kindness, Laughter, and Magic — to reawaken and nurture the tree, bridging Heartopia with the magical world of Equestria.
Daily tasks tied to the event advance the Tree’s energy meter and unlock rewards like Exhibition Passes and Moonlight Crystals. As the narrative unfolds, you’ll unlock Pony-themed badges and complete special quests that tie into both Heartopia’s town life and My Little Pony lore.
Six Banners, No Duplicate Gacha System
One of the standout mechanics in the event is the “no-repeat” gacha system. Instead of generic pulls with endless duplicates, this system ensures each banner offers a predefined set of unique items without repetition.
There are six individual banners, each themed around a member of the Mane Six (the main Pony characters). Each banner includes six exclusive items designed specifically for this crossover — five cosmetic pieces and one themed vehicle.
What makes this system generous is the guaranteed catch-up mechanic: if you pull the featured Car (the grand prize on that banner), the game automatically grants all remaining items from that banner into your inventory without needing to pull them individually.
This design significantly reduces wasteful pulls and makes it easier for collectors to complete a set with fewer resources.
The collaboration features six separate limited-time banners, each inspired by one of the Mane Six from My Little Pony. These include the Twilight Sparkle Banner, themed around magic and harmony; the Rainbow Dash Banner, focusing on speed and bold colors; the Fluttershy Banner, designed with soft tones and gentle aesthetics; the Pinkie Pie Banner, packed with playful and energetic visuals; the Rarity Banner, highlighting elegance and fashion-forward designs; and the Applejack Banner, built around a rustic, down-to-earth style. Each banner offers its own unique set of collaboration-exclusive rewards.
Pull Costs & Ticket Economy
While Heartopia doesn’t tie the collab pulls to real money directly, it uses an in-game ticket system that scales in cost per spin. The early pulls cost fewer tickets, and costs ramp up with each subsequent spin:
|
Pull Number |

Cumulative Total |

To fully clear one banner normally costs up to 360 tickets (equivalent to 3,600 Pink Hearts). If you’re lucky and hit the key vehicle early, you can finish an entire banner for significantly fewer tickets overall.
Exclusive Rewards & Collaboration Bonuses
The Heartopia x My Little Pony collab includes a range of limited-time rewards designed to appeal to both character collectors and customization fans:
- Unique Pony-themed outfits for your avatar
- Playful vehicles and mounts inspired by My Little Pony
- Limited furniture and cosmetic items
- Pet costume based on Spike available during the pre-event
- Collectible badges and Pony Series rewards tied to Harmony progression
Beyond cosmetics, the collaboration encourages community participation as players contribute toward reawakening the Tree of Harmony via Elements and daily event actions.
How to Prepare Before the Event
Because the event spans multiple weeks and involves resource management, here are a few smart prep tips:
- Stockpile Pink Hearts and Exhibition Tickets before Feb 7 to maximize pulls and rewards.
- Daily logins during the pre-event can net extras like passes and pet costumes without spending tickets.
- Check redeem codes (if available) for Event Passes or bonus currencies before the collaboration begins.
- Clear inventory space for the large reward drops that start arriving Feb 14.
Conclusion
Heartopia’s My Little Pony crossover promises a family-friendly, highly collectible experience with a blend of life sim gameplay and magical content. With its no-repeat gacha, collaborative story, and special rewards, the event rewards both casual players and dedicated collectors.
