Happy 4th of July! Celebrate America’s 250th Independence Day with Upland

Summer is here, fireworks are in the air, and the 4th of July is almost here. This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as America marks its historic 250th Independence Day.

To celebrate, we’re bringing a special 4th of July sale to Upland featuring limited-edition boats, American Legends Block Explorers, and a limited-time discount on Semi Truck Trailers.

Gear Up for the Road Ahead

Few things feel more American than the open road. From coast-to-coast highways to the trucks that keep goods moving across the country, Semi Truck Transport is a fitting way to celebrate Independence Day in Upland.

From Friday, July 3 at 9 AM PT through Monday, July 6 at 9 AM PT, all Semi Truck Trailers will be available for a limited-time 20% discount.

During the sale, Semi Truck Trailers will be reduced from $25 to $20, giving players a great opportunity to expand their fleet and prepare for what’s ahead.

As shared in our previous Trade Routes update, Trade Routes are planned to let players discover Troves by simulating the transporting of cargo between neighborhoods and cities. Fishing explores Upland’s waterways, while Trade Routes will explore its roads. Semi Trucks are designed to move the largest amounts of cargo across the Upland map, and Trailers will play a critical role in that system through Distribution Centers, where goods are picked up for transport.

Whether you’re building out your fleet, preparing for future cargo movement, or getting ready to chase Troves on the road, this 4th of July sale is a great time to add more Trailers to your lineup. Learn more about Trailers here.

Introducing American Legends: The 250 Collection

To celebrate America’s 250th Independence Day, we’re bringing a bold new lineup of Block Explorers to Upland: American Legends: The 250 Collection.

Inspired by iconic slices of American culture, this eagle-themed collection brings together larger-than-life personas from the ring, the open road, the Old West, and the main stage. Each Block Explorer captures a different kind of American legend, all united by the spirit of freedom, celebration, and the red, white, and blue.

Each bundle includes 20,000 UPX for $20, with one random American Legends Block Explorer from The 250 Collection included as a special bonus.

That means players can pick up UPX for their next move in Upland while also receiving a limited-edition Block Explorer created specifically for this historic celebration.

Players will have a chance to receive one of five unique designs, including a limited chance to obtain the rare Golden Eagle Block Explorer.

Looking ahead, Block Explorers will play a key role in Trove collecting, with stamina tied to rarity and additional modifiers planned for the future. That makes this limited collection more than just a celebration piece; it is also a chance to add a standout Block Explorer to your lineup as Upland continues to evolve.
