WELCOME BACK.
SEE YOU SOON.― Quackity's tweet[1]
"Welcome Back" was an event including a selection of players that ran from May 28th, 2025, to June 1st, 2025.
There had been a tweet teasing a Federation announcement[2] and an Urgent Message From the Federation[3] that preceded the event's first announcement on May 26th, 2025, in a Quackity tweet[1], which was swiftly followed by a confirmation that the final day would be on June 1st, 2025[4].
History[]
YoutubeAfter a prior teaser tweet[2], on April 30th, a video from The Federation was released showing edited imagery of prison cell bars. This imagery sometimes flickered into other scenes such as flashing lights, a red landscape raining, and a video of the The Underground Facility (2023). The latter being accompanied by flickering words, stringing together into "RETURN SAFE YOUR JOURNEY IS HIGH NOT OVER," as well as a message in morse code.
Decrypted, this code reads: "IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY PLEASE HELP HELP HELP SOS SOS NOT REAL ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS YOU ARE MEANT FOR THIS YOU ARE MEANT FOR THIS YOU ARE MEANT TO RETURN TO YOUR ORIGIN DO NOT GO BEYOND THAT WALL IT IS CURSED IT IS SACRED IM COMING BACK."
The audio also plays a poem called In the Desert by Stephen Crane, read aloud by a robotic voice.
After the video and audio cuts out, the same robotic voice says this:
- ???
Lighthearted music then plays before being cut off and replaced by video feed returning, showing a piece of paper with a Federation seal on it blowing out of a window. The video follows this paper blowing on the wind through a street and past a TV. Switching from static, the TV displays an explosion, soldiers hoisting up a Federation flag, and the Federation's logo itself. Once this video has cut, lines of text are shown on screen reading:
After this, the message ends.
WE SHALL BE RETURNING SHORTLY. THERE IS WORK TO COMPLETE.
YOU WILL HEAR FROM US. [05,00,25]

YoutubeQuackity, ElMariana and Slimecicle awoke in prison cells. After getting out of the cells, the trio walked up some steps and around outside a little which triggered a containment breach detection, resulting in the Escape Protocol to activate, playing a video. Through this, the group learnt the steps to escape the prison, Mariana quickly finding the keycard on a body outside then taking it to the emergency room to open it and find the chainsaw. They used it to break through the door then set off along the path leading through a forest and away from the prison. They walked along it for a while before coming across a small village, looting some items from the houses and finding a dog which they named "El Diablo."
The dog led them further through the village and to an area outlined by red markings, initializing a Survival Mode video to play explaining they had to build shelter for both themselves and their dog within the time limit which they successfully completed - also building a crucifix cross.
After this, El Diablo led them through more of the forest until they reached a cemetery where the Feeding Protocol was initiated. The trio were told not to dig for bones before the 6 minute timer was up but afterwards they needed to find the bones for El Diablo to eat. They did not stick to these rules, searching for bones before the timer was up and after being rejected by El Diablo, Slimecicle and Mariana became trapped by a pit in the floor that they couldn't escape, dying with each other at the hands of a ghoul with Quackity watching helplessly from above.

YoutubeQuackity looked around the Federation room he was in before snapping awake in his, Slimecicle, and ElMariana’s home, El Diablo by his side. After recollecting himself, the two followed the path through the forrest, finding a train, Quackity remembering the build of said train doesn’t want to get on, but after constant pestering, he begrudgingly boards. While on the train, El Diablo drives as some music plays, the two soon arriving to a large house, loud banshee like screams can be heard as he stumbles upon a mysterious figure and Tubbo dangling above a pot, Quackity rescuing him from the entity.
The mysterious figure explained that they were going to feed him to cannibals in exchange for diamonds, panicked Quackity kills them. Tubbo explained he woke up hung above the boiling pot and the two seemed to know of each other. The two decide to head to the cannibal town to steal those aforementioned diamonds. The two passing by multiple signs urging they don’t go forward but they do anyways, stumbling upon a worn down village.
Surrounded by cannibals, the trio silently sneak around the town collecting diamonds, they stumble upon a white building full of diamond gear and more diamonds, though quickly fell through a hidden hole as a cannibal then starts to chase after them in a maze. Quackity finds a cellar of sorts at the center and the three descend, only to find another cannibal, who explains the four would be playing Russian roulette. After an unprecedented amount of lack of any shots, El Diablo gets the bullet twice, but is too short to be hit by it, soon after Tubbo dies leaving Quackity horrified, though the cannibal keeps spinning the gun. Eventually another shot is heard as the cannibal falls to the ground, leaving Quackity and El Diablo alone again, they go to leave but are ambushed by Evil Cucurucho, with Quackity having no recollection of him, backing him against the door as Evil Cucurucho kills him. YoutubeQuackity woke up right outside the safe house, all confused and disoriented. As he noticed the sky was all red he wondered if he was alive or dead after the events of the previous day. El Diablo led him through the forest to his first mission: killing the queen spider and rescuing the player. He succeeded, and upon freeing the prisoner, discovered it was Rubius, the angel. Quackity did not seem to remember him, but the angel did recognize Quackity. It turned out that Rubius held the power to decide whether he would live or not. So they made a deal, a stack of diamonds and Rubius would let Quackity live.
El Diablo would take them to the cannibal town, where Quackity knew there were plenty of diamonds. However, they came across an old man's house. The man gave them a mission; to find proof that his deceased daughter's spirit still lingered. In exchange for the proof, the old man promised them diamonds so the three of them went ahead. Before that, they had to build a boat to cross the lake. Rubius and Quackity split the work; Quackity gathered the materials while Rubius worked on the sail, and Quackity built the rest of the boat.
When they reached the other side, they received a video detailing the steps to follow to find the spirit of the girl. They had to solve riddles, find her, take a photo, and bring it back to her father. Rubius managed to capture a clear shot of the girl. But as they were leaving, a mysterious creature appeared in front of them and Quackity recognized it as the same creature that had killed Roier and Maximus days earlier. They ran through the forest and tried to take shelter in a house but it was pointless, the creature found them and killed Quackity in the spot.Activities[]
