Announcing the August Version Update

[Akihiko_Matsui]

Good day, adventurers,
Matsui here.

In the August Version Update roundup, I mentioned that we would be implementing all-new battle content known as Sortie.

Unfortunately, we have discovered several critical bugs with the content in our final QA checks and are currently in the process of fixing them. It pains me to say that we are unlikely to completely take care of these issues in time for the August 10 version update.

The bugs in question have a direct impact on the difficulty of the foes present in Sortie and would adversely impact the player experience if we were to let Sortie go live without fixing them. Our current plan is to implement Sortie as scheduled for the August 10 version update but temporarily remove the NPC curating the content to prevent players from accessing it. As soon as the bugs have been properly addressed, we will perform an emergency maintenance to restore the NPC in question.

We know that many of you were looking forward to Sortie and will be disappointed by this announcement. I would like to apologize for the delay, but feel it is best to prioritize making sure Sortie is an enjoyable, engaging experience rather than something that has the potential to cause consternation. I humbly ask for your understanding and assure you that that we will make Sortie available as soon as the issues have been resolved.

Good day, adventurers.
Matsui here.

I’m pleased to report that we have addressed the issues preventing us from releasing Sortie on day one of the August version update. Ruspix will be available upon the completion of today’s maintenance, enabling you to enjoy tackling the challenges that await you in Sortie.

I would like to again apologize for the delay and express my gratitude for your patience. Hope you enjoy the latest battle content!
