Hello, this is Director Lee Jong-Joo.

As the weather gets colder, we’ve noticed an increase in colds within the company.

We hope everyone stays healthy and warm this winter.

December is a special month for us, marking our game's 100-day anniversary and the festive Christmas season.

While the first phase of our Christmas pre-event begins this week, the main event will kick off next week.

Today, I’d like to share this week’s key patch notes with you. Let’s get started!

Chapter 6: A Cagesong of the Ocean

We’ve been keeping up with the schedule we promised last time. We’re striving to maintain the timeline through January 16, so there’s no need to worry.

Chapter 6 delves deeply into the main theme of A Cagesong of the Ocean. We highly recommend reading the dialogues carefully!

The two people I saw in Kavaro!?

NOTE: Content is still under development and is subject to change.

Does the presence of Leone's crest mean something?

Where could this place be? McVein appears with a meaningful expression.

In Chapter 6, you can obtain 4 Resonance Stones. With this, a total of 23 out of 24 stones have been collected. It seems that A Cagesong of the Ocean scenario is nearing its conclusion.

Speaking of the scenario, it suddenly reminds me of something else I’d like to share. We’re aware that players often feel disappointed or dissatisfied with the lack of background explanation or narrative when a new hero is released.

Moving forward, we plan to include background details about heroes in pre-release announcements.

Ultimately, we aim to develop individual storylines within the game to delve into the narrative aspects of these characters.

This plan had always been in place, but we prioritized progressing the main scenario, as fulfilling our existing promises seemed more urgent.

If additional narrative content is introduced, it will likely happen after the Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch Prelude update on January 16.

We ask for your understanding in advance.

However, starting now, we will include at least some background explanations in pre-release announcements to provide insights into a hero’s story. (Currently, we’re considering character profile information and original impressions from my earlier days, such as student life.)

As a teaser, here’s a belated draft of the original impression for the recently introduced hero, Stigma:

"The first time I saw Stigma was at the Grabadel Castle, under a sky darkened by the unsealing of the Dark Sun. Cloaked entirely in shades of deep purple, Stigma’s appearance was intimidating, with an air of villainy despite their refined speech."

"Though they seemed poised to betray Prince Duorl and seize the throne, there was an even greater conspiracy at play. In hindsight, Stigma’s meticulous planning contrasted with their surprisingly trivial goals among the villains of The Legend of Heroes: Chapters 3, 4, and 5."



Collection Room

We’re excited to finally unveil the Collection Room, which features three main functions:

1. Collection Display
2. Illustration Archive
3. Jukebox

Collection Display
Display collectible objects obtained in-game. Currently, only items from the Halloween event are available, but additional items will be introduced soon—possibly as rewards for the Abyss of Mirror!


Illustration Archive
Revisit and enjoy the cutscene illustrations from the main scenario. These will continue to be added as new illustrations are introduced.

Jukebox
Create a playlist with BGM tracks from A Tear of Vermillion, A Cagesong of the Ocean, and Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch. Tracks can be unlocked by progressing through the main scenario, completing achievements, or other methods in the future. Relive the nostalgia of the original tracks or enjoy their fresh arrangements!

NOTE: Content is still under development and is subject to change.

Guild Raid: New Tiers
New achievement reward tiers (UD to US) have been added to Guild Raids.
Higher scores in Guild Raids will now yield more Resonance Stone Tuning Materials!

We’ll cover the balance changes for main heroes in a separate note today, so stay tuned!
