Hello, Captain. This is CQ LABS.
In our previous notice, we informed you that we were preparing a balance patch targeting release next week.
The balance adjustments are now mostly complete; however, during internal testing we determined that some items require additional verification.
This patch includes not just simple numerical tweaks but changes that affect the overall play experience, so we felt it would be better to take a little more time to refine it.
Accordingly, the balance patch scheduled for next week will be postponed by about one week.
We sincerely apologize to the Captains who have been waiting, and we will do our very best in this final review to deliver a more satisfying result.
We will share the details of the changes again along with the patch notes.
Thank you.

A hero equipped with a Soulbound Weapon can unleash unique skills far stronger than before.
At the Portal, you can summon monsters whose souls have been corrupted by Soltar.
Hunt these corrupted monsters and sell weapons you no longer use to gather Iron and other new materials, then craft your very own Soulbound Weapons.
The newly erected Sanctuary of Souls opens the gate that leads to the Fortress of Souls.
From the Twilight Wraith to the Lord of Souls — Soltar in three forms will stand in your path, one after another.
Test the strength of a party tempered by Soulbound Weapons, and claim greater rewards deep within the Fortress.
New Normal / Hard Stages are added.
Defeat Dionemesis, who waits beyond the north wind, and rescue the captive Dione.
The many costumes of CQ make their way to Hero Town.

Hello, Captain. This is CQ LABS.
Today, we would like to introduce Soltar along with the new NPCs and the new building that will be added in the upcoming update.
The one who slumbered for ages in the deepest reaches of the Fortress of Souls, the Lord of Souls Soltar, finally begins to stir.
Before his hand once again puts the light of Hasla to the test, we must be ready to face him.
Long hidden within the shadows, the Lord of Souls at last reveals himself.
The newly erected Sanctuary of Souls opens the gate that leads to the Fortress of Souls.
Through the teal-glowing sanctuary, the Captain will challenge Soltar in the deepest depths of the Fortress.
Upon a chariot, upon a steed, and at last alone. Soltar in three forms will stand in the Captain's path, one after another.
At the same time, before the gates of Hero Town stand new HEROes about to take their very first step.
The Debut Stage, where rookie HEROes reside, opens its doors.
A man wearing a scarecrow mask, Hus, waits there, determined not to let a single newcomer go to waste.
Everything we have shared with you over the past three weeks will arrive on Friday, June 12.
The 12 newly joining HEROes will be released as paid DLC,
while everything else — including the Fortress of Souls, Soltar, and the Debut Stage — will arrive together as a free update.

Hello, Captain. This is CQ LABS.
Today, we would like to introduce a new growth element coming with the upcoming update, the Soulbound Weapons.
Long ago, in the final battle against the Apostle Soltar, the Crystal Sword of Light, Danan, was shattered to pieces.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45953597/9465c443c1a5b0e54aee05d80e4486173fa3b16c.pngThose shards of light scattered across Soltar's stronghold, the Fortress of Souls, and slumbered for ages among the beings whose souls he had stolen.
Now, the time has come to awaken that sleeping light.
The reclaimed shards of light blaze once more before the forge of the blacksmith Fergus.
The legend shattered a hundred years ago is reborn as weapons for the heroes, the Soulbound Weapons.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45953597/c74e95c9d2fc3fe284e5a8f74b794a9a2bccaa04.gif{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45953597/a67b078dd6646aa96ba79cfa82ffc9cd0c8b0ec2.gifCraft and equip Soulbound Weapons to wield power stronger than ever before!
Look forward to what kind of weapon the shattered light will become in your hands, Captain!
Thank you.

Hello, Captain. This is CQ LABS.
Today, we would like to share an early look at the new-look HEROes and DLC that will be added in the upcoming update.
Since this was an area we deliberated over quite a lot during development, we wanted to lightly share the direction we are currently preparing.
The 12 new HEROes being added this time will be offered as DLC.
While in development, we deliberated extensively over how to add HEROes with alternate looks.
Initially we were preparing them to be sold as a free DLC, but we are now developing them so that they are integrated into the update and can be naturally obtained through the course of gameplay.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45953597/d03ff63c618fdf1ee4dc319272da818386711212.pngNot only the costumes from the original CQ but also brand-new looks exclusive to Hero Town will be added together.
Please look forward to seeing a variety of HEROes wandering around every corner of the town.
Content beyond the additional HEROes is planned to be delivered through the update,
and we will continue to introduce new content and system updates in upcoming Dev Notes.
Thank you.

Hello, Captains! This is CQ LABS.
Before we knew it, a week has already passed since the launch of Crusaders Quest : Hero Town.
We sincerely thank all the Captains who have shown us so much interest and support over the past week.
Thanks to the overwhelming love from our Captains, we are working hard to deliver even more content than originally planned, and at a faster pace.
Along with an overall balance patch, we are also reviewing all of the various quality-of-life suggestions and improvements that many Captains have submitted.
These items will be handled alongside content development, and we plan to apply them sequentially as soon as possible, starting with those that can be implemented first.
The next update is being prepared with the goal of rolling out sometime next week.
While specific details will be shared at a later date, we are preparing content in various directions, including hard stages, features that allow you to gauge the combat power of your HERO party,
and new DLC featuring new HEROes, among others.
Additionally, in order to keep up with the pace of future content development while reducing the inconvenience Captains may experience with each update, we are also considering bundling minor improvements and relatively small fixes into updates on a periodic basis.
Lastly, regarding the issue during the previous update process,
we would like to once again extend our deepest apologies for the problem that caused some Captains' precious data to be lost.
Through the v1.0.9 update, we have put significant effort into strengthening various safeguards related to save files to prevent the same issue from recurring.
Nevertheless, we are truly and deeply sorry to those Captains who have already experienced data loss — words alone cannot express how apologetic we feel.
CQ LABS will continue to make improvements so that Captains can play with peace of mind in a more stable environment.
Once again, we deeply appreciate all the interest and support you have shown us,
and we will do our very best to repay your trust with an even better experience going forward.
Thank you.
Sincerely, CQ LABS

We would like to briefly share them with you through this letter.
In response to your recent feedback, we are preparing a renewal of the Bakery content, which has had some of its features scaled back.
We are planning user-participatory content utilizing the 'Bread' element, and we will put great effort into making sure Chocolat at the Bakery doesn't lose her job.
Various stages and stronger monsters will be appearing on your home screens, and we are hard at work developing so that a variety of heroes can join you to take them on.
Additionally, the Goddesses in town are also being prepared to be of help to Captains.
Soulbound Weapons that possess power surpassing existing weapons, as well as additional new content, are also being prepared.
CQ LABS is developing the above content sequentially, and we will do our best to present it as impressive content.
Additionally, we would like to address some questions that many Captains have been curious about.
All characters appearing in Crusaders Quest : Hero Town
are undergoing a process of reworking the original characters to fit the current game engine and play style, and when necessary, they are even being recreated from scratch.
We apologize for not being able to include all the diverse heroes you were hoping for.
We know that many Captains have high expectations for Crusaders Quest : Hero Town,
and CQ LABS will ensure not only quality,
but will also accelerate development so that you can experience additional characters and content as well as Soulbound Weapons as soon as possible.
Furthermore, regarding errors, inconveniences, and quality-of-life improvements that occur during gameplay,
we will respond as immediately as possible and continuously work to improve
in order to create an environment where you can play more enjoyably and comfortably.
Once again, thank you for the love and support you have shown us.
We look forward to your continued support.
Thank you.
