Maintenance was August 20, 2026, 05:00–12:00; no time zone is stated.
Pre-05:00 characters with mail unlocked qualified for 300 Astrite/2 Crystal Solvents and 300 Astrite for fixes, claimable before the next update.
New 5-stars use Aero/Sword and Fusion/Broadblade, alongside two weapons.
The new region opens through Chapter IV Act III, followed by a permanent epilogue.

The August 22–September 29 combat simulation awarded an event title and a Phantom Echo.

This overview does not specify every currency quantity, shop deadline or daily cap.
Mail and quality-of-life changes
Mail limits became 100 archived messages, 200 total messages and 40 attachment types per message.
Expired archived mail survives automatic/read-mail deletion, but removing its archived status deletes it.
Archiving is not described as extending reward claims.
Bike displays/autodrive, sharing, Echo recommendation comparisons/filters and notifications were also improved.
Graphics and performance requirements
DLSS 4.5 5x/6x requires RTX 50, DX12, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and driver 595.97+.
New optional Vulkan support includes Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Dimensity 9200/9200+ and XRING O1; restart after changing it.
The programming-language optimization was a staged limited test with device exclusions, not confirmation of a completed universal rollout.
