Greetings, Star Guardians.

This is PD Koo of .

With the Version 1.8 update just around the corner, we’re happy to greet you once again. With each update bringing a new version, we’ve already made it all the way to Version 1.8.

The Version 1.8 update will introduce a variety of improvements, new content, and updates to our seasonal content. At the same time, our development team has been hard at work preparing for the upcoming Half-Anniversary update.

As many of you have likely already guessed, we’re preparing for the upcoming Half-Anniversary update to mark a fresh new beginning for Origin as Version 2.0.

Above all, what we consider most important is creating an environment where, beginning with the Half-Anniversary, even more Star Guardians can discover Britannia and choose to stay with us for the long run.

With this in mind, the Version 1.8 update has been prepared as groundwork for the Half-Anniversary update, and in this Developer Notes, we'd like to give you a brief look at what we're currently working on.

■ Key Content in the Version 1.8 Update

1. New Content: Hunting Event

With this update, we’re introducing a new content type where up to 15 players team up to take down a boss together: the Hunting Event.

Until now, we’ve primarily offered combat content centered around small-party gameplay. However, our development team wanted to provide Star Guardians with a new kind of combat experience by bringing a large group of players together to take on a single boss.

The event is designed to allow parties of up to five players to queue together through matchmaking, with up to 15 players entering the same battlefield and fighting simultaneously.

Rather than being permanent content, the Hunting Event will be available as a limited-time event. We also plan to bring it back periodically in the future.

2. New Content: Memory of Dimensions (Original Story Quest)

The Original Story Quest we introduced in a previous Developer Notes is finally here. With the Version 1.8 update, we’re excited to bring you its very first chapter.

'Memory of Dimensions' is new content designed to let you relive memorable stories and iconic scenes from the original anime by experiencing them firsthand within .

Rather than simply revisiting past events, we’ve put great care into creating an experience that lets Star Guardians step into those unforgettable moments themselves and relive the emotion of the original story.

In this first chapter, you’ll revisit the bond between Meliodas and Elizabeth, a story cherished by so many Star Guardians. Future chapters will go on to retrace the journey shared by the members of \.

For those who experienced the original series, we hope this serves as a nostalgic reunion. For Star Guardians who have yet to experience it, we hope it becomes an opportunity to discover the world of \ for the very first time.

Our goal is to deliver a different kind of experience from battling powerful bosses or exploring new regions — one that draws you in through the story itself and the emotions it brings.

That said, given the sheer scale of the original series, it’s simply not possible to recreate every story all at once. As a result, ‘Memory of Dimensions’ will focus on the most memorable events and iconic moments that have remained in the hearts of fans.

That said, given the sheer scale of the original series, it's simply not realistic to capture every story all at once. As a result, 'Memory of Dimensions' will focus on the key events and scenes that have stayed with fans most deeply.

We'll continue preparing additional chapters so that you can experience even more of these unforgettable moments from the original story in future updates.

3. In-Game Information Display and Quality-of-Life Improvements

With the Version 1.8 update, we’ll be enhancing in-game information that has been lacking while introducing improvements to reduce downtime during repetitive gameplay.

These changes are designed to make important information easier to access and provide a smoother, more convenient gameplay experience.

✦ Set Item Information Added

A new feature will allow you to view additional information about Set Items directly in-game.

✦ Codex Acquisition Source Added

A new feature will allow you to directly check where specific entries in the Codex and Special Codex can be obtained.

✦ Fishing Spot Locations Displayed

Previously hidden Point Fishing Spots will now be displayed on the map, allowing you to easily check both their locations and related Fishing Spot Info.

✦ Content Retry Feature Added

A new feature will allow you to immediately retry Dungeons, Boss Challenges, and Raids after clearing them without first leaving the field.

In particular, Boss Challenges can now be retried even while combat is still in progress, making it easier for Star Guardians competing for rankings to jump right back into another attempt.

4. ‘Path of the Hero’ and ‘Challenge Missions’ Renewal

‘Path of the Hero’, which many Star Guardians have already completed, along with the ongoing event ‘Challenge Missions I - II III’, will be renewed with this update. (Updated on July 31 (Fri) 08:45 (UTC))

To help new Star Guardians beginning their adventure in Britannia grow more quickly early on and catch up with existing players, we will be enhancing the rewards available through these missions and ongoing events.

For Star Guardians who have not yet claimed all of their rewards or completed these missions, the renewed rewards will be applied based on your current progress after the update. We hope you’ll keep this in mind as you continue your adventure.

In line with these improvements to 'Path of the Hero' and the ongoing events for new Star Guardians, we'd also like to give a small gift to all Star Guardians currently enjoying .

◆ Path of the Hero & Ongoing Event Support Reward

- Regular Hero Draw Ticket x10

* Over the next 5 weeks, a total of 50 ‘Regular Hero Draw Tickets’ will be distributed via the in-game mailbox every Monday at 09:00 (UTC).

* Mailbox rewards will be available to claim within 7 days upon delivery.

◆ Version 1.8 Update Appreciation Reward - Radiant Potion of Charm x3 - Remnants of the Rift x3 - Tailor's Stitching Needle x5 - Element Spell Bead Selection Chest x3

* Following the Version 1.8 update, the rewards can be claimed from your in-game mailbox until August 26 (Wed) 14:59 (UTC).

5. Timespace Junction - Season I Final Sector Update

The Version 1.8 update will mark the end of ‘Timespace Junction Season I’.

Timespace Junction will conclude with its 12th and final Sector before resetting, and ‘Timespace Junction Season II’ will begin alongside the Half-Anniversary update. When Season II opens, all existing Sectors will be reset, and Timespace Junction will once again begin from Sector 1.

Since Timespace Junction Sectors are unlocked sequentially each week, the final Sector 12 is scheduled to open one week before the Half-Anniversary update. However, since this would leave Star Guardians with only one week to clear Sector 12, we’ve decided to keep Timespace Junction Season I available for two weeks after Sector 12 becomes available.

6. Early-Game Navigation and Combat Improvements

✦ Early Tutorial Skip Feature Added

We’re adding a Skip feature that lets you bypass the early cave tutorial and jump straight into the game.

✦ Increased World Level 3 Rewards

We plan to add Hero’s Token drops and increase the amount of Mastery growth materials obtainable at World Level 3.

✦ Tag Skill Activation Rule Improvements

We’re adjusting the activation rules for Tag Skills during combat against multiple enemies to minimize situations where Tag Skills unintentionally activate against unintended targets.

With these improvements, the Version 1.8 update has been prepared to provide Star Guardians who begin their adventure in Britannia before the Half-Anniversary with a smoother introduction to the game, while also addressing areas that existing Star Guardians have found inconvenient.

This direction will continue into the Half-Anniversary update as well, as we work toward creating an environment where even more Star Guardians can more easily settle into the game and continue their journey with us.

As mentioned earlier, the Version 1.8 update has been prepared to help Star Guardians beginning their adventure in Britannia ahead of the Half-Anniversary settle into the game more easily, while also addressing long-standing areas of inconvenience based on the feedback you’ve shared with us over time.

This direction will continue beyond the Version 1.8 update and into the upcoming Half-Anniversary update as well. As we approach this milestone, our development team is preparing a variety of events and updates to welcome more Star Guardians to Britannia, while also ensuring that those who have been with us from the beginning can continue enjoying their journey with us for a long time to come.

We hope you'll continue looking forward to the Half-Anniversary update following Version 1.8.

While we know there's still room for improvement, we're sincerely grateful to every Star Guardian who continues to help us shape Britannia through your passion, support, and valuable feedback.

We'll continue doing our best to build an even better together with all of you, our Star Guardians.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

PD Koo

Greetings, Star Guardians.

This is PD Koo of .

It’s hard to believe we’re already greeting you through our sixteenth Developer Notes.

Following the Version 1.6 update, has now reached its 100th day since launch. A great deal has happened over these 100 days, but the fact that we’re able to keep bringing you update after update is entirely thanks to you, our Star Guardians. We are truly grateful.

Looking back to when we first introduced , it was a game with no shortage of shortcomings.

Given the nature of the open-world genre, there were many issues we simply hadn’t anticipated, and we recognize that our inability to show you a more polished, welcoming experience was a shortcoming on our part. For that, we sincerely apologize once again.

In an effort to address as many of these shortcomings as quickly as possible, our development team has been working nonstop since launch.

Of course, even now, 100 days in, we know there's still a lot we fall short on, and plenty we'll need to keep working on going forward. Still, it's thanks to you, our Star Guardians, staying with us through that process of filling in the gaps one by one that we believe we’ve been able to steadily improve and successfully reach this 100-day update.

Through this 100-day anniversary survey, you shared an incredible number of opinions with us as well. Our development team is reviewing every single piece of feedback carefully.

Going forward, we will continue working without pause to fix what's wrong, fill in what's lacking, and show you steady improvement along the way.

In this Developer Notes, we'd like to walk you through the major content coming with the upcoming Version 1.7 update. For this Version 1.7, we're preparing a new region, a new main story chapter, and brand-new content.

✦ Weapon-Specific Equipment Presets

One of the unique features of is that a single hero can fulfill a variety of roles by utilizing three different weapons.

However, switching Engraved Equipment, Armor, and Accessories every time you change weapons has been a cumbersome process, and many Star Guardians have shared feedback regarding this inconvenience.

With this update, we plan to improve the hero equipment preset feature so that your pre-configured Engraved Equipment, Armor, and Accessories will automatically change based on the weapon your hero is currently using.

You can configure different equipment setups for each of a hero's three weapons or register the same Armor set across all three weapons. However, unlike the previous system where additional Armor could be equipped alongside Engraved Equipment, the stats from Armor registered to each weapon will not be combined.

Equipping the same Armor on another hero will still remove it from the original hero. However, within a single hero's equipment presets, versatile Armor and Accessories such as the 'Life Crystal' or 'Hymn of Regeneration' can be registered across all three weapons using a single equipment set.

We hope this improvement makes switching weapons and taking full advantage of each hero's different roles a much more convenient experience.

✦ \ Feature Added

With heroes’ skills and Combined Attack effects being so visually striking, players have occasionally found themselves caught off guard mid-battle when enemies get obscured by these effects. In particular, since Merlin’s release, we’ve received a lot of feedback that Combined Attack effects can make it hard to see party members and bosses clearly.

In high-difficulty content like Raids, a single mistake like this can end up being fatal, so our development team has been treating this as an important issue to address.

With this update, we’re adding a \ option to the settings menu that prioritizes displaying the silhouettes of monsters and party members even when they’re obscured by effects. This feature can be toggled through the settings menu, and we hope it makes combat feel more intuitive to navigate.

■ New Content

✦ New Raid 'Deep Spider Nest'

This update introduces the new Raid 'Deep Spider Nest', a revamped version of the original 'Deep Spider Nest' dungeon. While retaining its overall structure, it also features several new areas and routes.

Unlike the Raid 'Taranis's Sanctuary', where Elite Monsters are encountered at fixed locations, 'Deep Spider Nest' features Elite Monsters that spawn at random locations within a designated area. To earn all available rewards, you’ll need to track down and defeat every Elite Monster that appears.

Success in this Raid depends on quickly locating and defeating Elite Monsters as they appear across several possible spawn locations. Just like in the original ‘Deep Spider Nest’ dungeon, braziers can also be used to assist you throughout the Raid.

The final boss, ‘Shakeera’, also returns with a mix of familiar and new attack patterns. Alongside the new Raid, a Pledge system unique to ‘Deep Spider Nest’ will also be introduced, featuring different completion conditions from those in ‘Taranis’s Sanctuary’.

More details will be shared through an upcoming official livestream and a separate notice.

✦ 'Mystic Key' Recharge for the New Raid Update

Because the update introducing the new Raid ‘Deep Spider Nest’ is scheduled to take place in the middle of the week, some Star Guardians may not have the opportunity to clear the ‘Taranis’s Sanctuary’ Raid before the update and then challenge the new Raid before ‘Mystic Keys’ reset the following Monday.

To address this, just as we did when the Pledge feature was first added, we plan to recharge 2 ‘Mystic Keys’ during the Version 1.7 update for Star Guardians who have already used their current keys.

Please note that this is a recharge of previously used ‘Mystic Keys’, not an additional distribution of keys. To receive the recharged keys after the Version 1.7 update, be sure to use all of your current ‘Mystic Keys’ before the update.

✦ Knighthood Boss Battle & Knighthood Rankings

Following the Version 1.7 update, new Knighthood content centered around Knighthood Boss Battles will become available.

The content will first become available the week after the update, allowing Star Guardians time to review the Knighthood Boss Battle details and either prepare their Knighthood or join one before it begins.

In Knighthood Boss Battles, Knighthood members can participate either solo or as a party. The objective is to earn as many points as possible within the time limit. Points are awarded based on the amount of damage dealt to the boss, and once the boss’s HP has been fully depleted, an even stronger boss immediately appears. 

The combat difficulty is being designed to be less demanding than Timespace Junction or Raids. Instead, we are designing it as content where Knighthood members can work together to develop strategies and team compositions that maximize damage within the time limit.

Knighthood Rankings will be introduced alongside Knighthood Boss Battles. Rankings will be determined weekly based on Knighthood Boss Battle scores, and all Knighthood members will receive rewards based on the weekly rankings. 

Rather than being based on the combined scores of all Knighthood members, a Knighthood's score will be determined by its highest individual score. This is intended to allow even a small group of dedicated members to compete for top rankings without requiring participation from a large number of Knighthood members.

■ Content Currently in Development

As outlined above, the Version 1.7 update has been prepared to introduce new content and various improvements. Beyond this update, we will continue preparing an even wider variety of content, events, and improvements.

We are currently preparing a variety of new content for future updates, including large-scale boss battles for five or more players and Original Quests that recreate memorable scenes from the original anime in . We will continue doing our best to provide enjoyable experiences for all Star Guardians through .

Once this new content is ready, we will share more details through a future Developer Notes.

■ Closing

As a token of our gratitude to all the Star Guardians who have been with Origin for over 100 days, we'd like to offer a small gift. We will continue doing our best to make a game that continues to grow and improve well beyond its half-anniversary and first anniversary.

✦ 100-Day Anniversary Thank-You Gift

- Star Fragment x1,000

- Radiant Potion of Charm x2

- Fruit and Meat Pie x30

* The rewards can be claimed from your in-game mailbox until August 5 (Wed) 14:59 (UTC).

We also plan to continue providing plenty of rewards through future updates and events, and we hope you'll continue to look forward to what's to come.

Thank you.

Sincerely, 

PD Koo

Thank you.

Greetings, Star Guardians.

First of all, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused by the issues that occurred during Leaderboard Regular Season 1, which was introduced with the Version 1.6 update.

As announced in \, starting with Leaderboard Regular Season 1, skill usage in the pre-battle waiting area has been restricted to prevent players from stacking buffs before battle, in line with the original intent of the Leaderboard.

However, we have identified an issue where buff effects applied before entering the content remain active after entering the content. We sincerely apologize for not reviewing this aspect thoroughly when applying the rule changes mentioned above.

We are currently working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible within the week, and the fix will be applied through an upcoming temporary maintenance. Please see below for the measures we will be taking accordingly.

1. Boss Challenge ‘\ Galland of 「Truth」’ Leaderboard Measures

To resolve this issue and ensure fair competition for all Star Guardians, we will conduct temporary maintenance to prevent buffs applied before entering the content from carrying over after entry. We will also update the content so that dishes can be used while waiting for the content to begin.

The entire leaderboard will also be reset during the temporary maintenance.

We kindly ask for the understanding of all Star Guardians who have worked hard to improve their leaderboard rankings for more than a week.

Although this was a difficult decision, we believe it is necessary to ensure that the time and effort Star Guardians have put into the time attack are not undermined. Once the issue has been fixed, the leaderboard competition will begin again.

For Star Guardians who have already achieved rankings, ‘Laurel of Glory’ rewards will be distributed based on their ranking status at the start of the maintenance.

2. \ Opening Schedule Delay

As \ is also part of Leaderboard Regular Season 1, we believe it should be opened after this issue has been resolved to prevent the same issue from occurring.

As a result, the opening schedule for \ will be delayed until after the temporary maintenance.

3. \ Opening Details

Separately from the issue described above, we have also found that the \ event requires additional checks before it can open. As a result, the event will be delayed from its previously announced opening date of July 1 (Wed).

We sincerely apologize for being unable to bring the event to you on the previously announced schedule.

We sincerely apologize once again for being unable to provide our Star Guardians with a stable environment to fully enjoy the content and for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

Details on the fix schedule will be provided through a separate notice once preparations are complete.

To prevent similar issues from occurring again, we will further strengthen our review process before content updates and continue doing our best to provide a more stable service.

Thank you.

Greetings, Star Guardians.

This is PD Koo of .

It is a pleasure to greet all of our Star Guardians once again through our fifteenth Developer Notes.

In our previous Developer Notes, we focused on addressing the topics that received the greatest amount of feedback during AMA Season 2. 

In this Developer Notes, we would like to continue by addressing the remaining topics that we have been reviewing since then.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for not being able to respond more quickly to every inquiry, despite receiving more than 600 valuable pieces of feedback from all of you. Please know that our development team is carefully reviewing every comment we receive, and we will continue to share updates on topics we are able to address through future Developer Notes.

■ Quality-of-Life & UI Improvements

Through this AMA, we received a wide range of feedback regarding quality-of-life improvements. In particular, many Star Guardians shared that the large amount of damage text displayed during combat made it difficult to clearly recognize boss patterns and effects.

✦ Damage Text Visibility Improvements

We fully understand the feedback that the large amount of overlapping damage text displayed during combat can make it difficult to identify important boss patterns and effects.

We are currently working on improving the visibility of effects that are obscured by damage text, and this improvement is scheduled to be applied with the Version 1.7 update. We will continue working to provide a more comfortable combat experience.

✦ Clarifying Skill and Combined Attack Descriptions

We have also received a significant amount of feedback regarding skill descriptions that do not match their actual behavior, as well as the lack of in-game explanations for Combined Attack mechanics. As mentioned in our previous Developer Notes, we are currently preparing to add more detailed in-game explanations for Combined Attacks.

As a first step, we plan to reinforce the in-game guidance covering the basic rules of Combined Attacks. We will then continue improving the in-game guidance so that areas causing confusion can be understood more clearly. In addition, we will continue correcting skill descriptions that are inaccurately displayed.

✦ Adding Item Favorites & Quality-of-Life Features

We are currently reviewing a variety of quality-of-life improvements, including the ability to register frequently used items, such as Platinum Ore and consumables, as Favorites for quicker access.

We are also reviewing features that allow players to view detailed item information when salvaging equipment, as well as a checkmark indicator on the Engraved Equipment crafting screen to help identify Engraved Equipment that have already been crafted.

These improvements will be introduced gradually according to priority.

■ Future Combat & Gameplay Improvements

✦ Time Attack Starting Position Adjustments

We have received feedback that the time required to reach the boss when attempting Time Attack Leaderboards differ depening on the platform, which affects competitive fairness.

Our development team understands these concerns, and we are currently reviewing adjustments for Boss Challenge content, such as ‘「Corrupted」 Guardian Golem’ and ‘「Corrupted」 Warden Orgot’, so that players begin directly in front of the boss.

However, as this requires coordinating with existing content in the area, such as Viewpoints and Treasure Chests, it will be difficult to implement this change in the short term. We will share more detailed information regarding the implementation schedule once the plans have been finalized.

✦ Feedback Regarding Time-Limited Content: Requests to remove time limits from end-game content to make it more accessible for casual players.

Currently, clear time limits are only applied to Raids.

For existing Boss Challenge content, the time limit has already been removed, and we are seeing that many Star Guardians are successfully clearing this content without significant difficulty.

However, we believe that excessive fatigue from attempting to clear Raids every week is not conducive to a positive long-term gameplay experience. With this in mind, the clear time limit was introduced to encourage players to challenge end-game content at an appropriate difficulty level after achieving sufficient character progression.

While we could have restricted entry for teams below the recommended Combat Class, we chose not to do so. Instead, we wanted to leave room for players to overcome a slight gap in progression through their own skill and mastery. At the same time, the time limit serves to encourage the level of progression needed to take on these challenges while helping to prevent excessive fatigue.

That said, the newly added \ difficulty introduced with this update is intended to provide a more accessible way to obtain weekly Star Fragments. We will continue monitoring clear rates and will review the clear time limit again based on those results. 

✦ Knighthood Boss Battles: Strengthening Cooperative Elements in Party Play

We have repeatedly received feedback from Star Guardians requesting cooperative content where players can take on different roles, such as DPS, Tank, Support, and Healer, while tackling challenges together.

However, due to the current team-building structure of , it is difficult to immediately implement a role-based co-op system. Because combat in Origin is centered around skill synergies between heroes within a single team, the current design focuses on each player building a balanced team with heroes fulfilling different roles and adapting the flow of combat based on their own team composition.

As many of you pointed out, distinct party roles can certainly enhance the appeal of party play. However, because content designed around this style of gameplay has not yet been fully considered, it is difficult for us to commit to this direction at this time.

That said, we are preparing the Knighthood Boss Battles planned for the Version 1.7 update to offer their own style of cooperation and strategic party play. We hope you look forward to a new experience of taking on these challenges together with your fellow Knighthood members.

■ New Content Direction

✦ Upcoming ‘Training Grotto’ Content

Through this AMA, many Star Guardians shared their desire for new content. Our development team is also preparing to introduce a variety of new content on a regular basis beyond Raids.

In addition to top-tier content such as Raids, we are continuing discussions on introducing content that supports character progression while also being more accessible for Star Guardians to enjoy.

As a first step, we are currently preparing a new feature called the ‘Training Grotto’, where players will be able to more easily farm the equipment they want based on their heroes’ core performance.

Our goal for this content is to help fill the gaps between major updates while providing Star Guardians with another objective to work toward. We will share more details through a future Developer Notes once everything is ready.

✦ Story Replay Feature

Many Star Guardians have shared their disappointment that fully voiced story cutscenes cannot be viewed again after they have been completed. Our development team fully recognizes the need for this feature and is currently preparing to implement it. We will share more details once they have been finalized.

✦ Minigames and Various Game Modes

We have also received many suggestions for various types of minigames and new game modes. Our development team is also discussing ways to provide a wider variety of experiences throughout Britannia, and our goal is to gradually introduce more minigame-style content over time.

■ Regarding the Pick Up System

✦ Releasing Alternate Versions of Heroes

We received a tremendous amount of feedback from Star Guardians, hoping to see alternate versions of iconic heroes from the original series, such as “Assault Mode” Meliodas and “The One” Escanor.

We are currently preparing to introduce these alternate versions of heroes through future updates. 

While we are not yet ready to share the exact timing or release plans, our goal is to introduce them alongside the Main Story whenever possible. We are also preparing to showcase different versions of heroes from the original series through various formats, including Seasonal events. We hope you look forward to what’s to come.

✦ Expanding Free Draw Opportunities

We fully understand the feedback that it is too difficult to obtain desired heroes through Pick Up banners, as well as the concern that the number of summon tickets available each month is simply not enough.

We are gradually increasing the distribution of ‘Star Fragments’ and summon currencies through events, Daily Missions, and various content rewards. Moving forward, we will continue improving the overall supply of these resources so that more Star Guardians can obtain heroes more naturally through gameplay.

■ Character Roadmap & Development Direction

✦ Plans for \ and Other Villain Characters

We have received many requests from Star Guardians who would like to see \ and other memorable villain characters from the original \ series appear in Origin.

Including members of \ and other fan-favorite characters from the original series, we plan to continue introducing playable heroes to Origin through future updates. While we are not yet ready to share the exact timing or release plans, we will continue working to bring the characters you have been waiting for into the game.

✦ Regarding Unimplemented Signature Skills

Many Star Guardians have asked why iconic techniques from the original series, such as Meliodas’s “Full Counter” and Merlin’s “Perfect Cube”, have not been implemented in the game.

To explain this, under the original IP supervision guidelines, a character’s skills can only be used when both the character and their weapon accurately match the corresponding point in the original story. Because each hero’s skills are reviewed based on a specific point in the timeline, certain skills may be restricted depending on the point in the story from which that hero originates. 

In addition, some skills are difficult to adapt into the game’s action-based combat system in a way that preserves their appeal. We also recognize that this may not have fully met your expectations. Moving forward, we will continue exploring ways to capture the spirit of the original series through our heroes while meeting the expectations of our Star Guardians.

✦ Ongoing Balance Adjustments for Existing Heroes

We have received feedback expressing concerns that, as new heroes continue to be released, previously released heroes may gradually lose their relevance. Our development team will continue monitoring existing heroes and aims to create an environment where they can continue to be used alongside newly released heroes.

While it is realistically difficult for every hero to fulfill the same role or perform at the same level, we do not intend to focus solely on releasing new heroes. We will continue considering the performance of existing heroes as well, so that both past and newly released heroes can be used together and Star Guardians can enjoy a wider variety of team compositions.

✦ Heroes Without Engraved Equipment

We have also received feedback expressing disappointment that some heroes do not yet have all three of their exclusive Engraved Equipment pieces.

Additional exclusive Engraved Equipment for these heroes will continue to be added through future updates.

✦ Attribute Balance and Tag Skill Improvements

We have received feedback that when heroes such as Merlin consistently perform exceptionally well across all types of content, even without an Attribute Advantage, it diminishes the importance of the Attribute system.

Our development team aims to create an environment where players are encouraged to build and utilize teams with a variety of Attributes. We will continue refining Attribute balance through a combination of new content, balance adjustments for existing heroes, and the introduction of new heroes.

■ Economy & Reward Systems

✦ Adjusting the Purchase Limit for SSR ‘Special Weapon Crafting Blueprints’

We have received feedback that the current purchase limit of one SSR ‘Special Weapon Crafting Blueprint’ every three weeks is particularly disadvantageous for new Star Guardians.

We are currently reviewing an increase to the purchase limit and will provide further details once a decision has been made.

✦ Adding Uses for ‘Elite Tokens’

We have received feedback that, while ‘Elite Tokens’ are obtained frequently, they have limited uses and tend to accumulate over time.

With the Version 1.6 update, ‘Elite Tokens’ can be exchanged for ‘Transcendence Essence’. In addition, they can also be used to craft ‘Tailor’s Stitching Needles’ and ‘Engraver’s Fabric Scissors’.

■ Server & Platform Stabilization

✦ Server Latency Improvements

We are aware that Star Guardians in certain regions, including Europe, North America, and the Middle East, continue to experience high latency and ping-related issues. We are closely investigating our infrastructure and will take the necessary measures to address any identified issues.

We will continue to do our best to provide a smoother environment where all Star Guardians can enjoy Britannia.

✦ PlayStation®5 Bug Fixes and Platform Optimization

The issue that causes the screen to start heavily zoomed in when logging into the PlayStation®5 version has been fixed with this update. In addition, we will continue working on fixes for various PlayStation®5 issues, including the screen becoming unresponsive after searching the Bag and controller-related issues.

We are also continuing our mobile optimization efforts. We are aware of issues such as overheating and freezing, even on high-end devices, and will continue applying improvements with each update. We will not stop optimizing the game until all Star Guardians can enjoy Britannia comfortably, regardless of their platform or device.

✦ DX12 and FSR Support Plans

We are aware that some Star Guardians are experiencing frametime issues while using the DX11 version on PC. As a mid to long-term goal, we plan to add support for DX12.

We are also reviewing plans to bring FSR, which is currently available only on mobile, to the PC version. We will provide a separate announcement once a more detailed schedule has been finalized.

✦ Resolution Scaling Bug Fixes

We have identified an issue where the resolution scaling settings are not functioning correctly. We are currently working on a fix, and we will provide further details through a notice once the fix has been applied.

Because so many of you participated, we regret that we were only able to address a portion of the feedback submitted during this second AMA.

Even if we were unable to address your feedback today, please rest assured that our development team is carefully reviewing every submission. We will continue to listen to your feedback and share updates through regular AMAs.

We sincerely thank all of our Star Guardians who continue to help shape Britannia alongside us. Our entire development team will continue to do our best to build an even better .

Thank you.

Sincerely, 

PD Koo

Greetings, Star Guardians.

This is PD Koo of .

I am delighted to greet all our Star Guardians through this fourteenth edition of the Developer Notes.

Through our recent AMA, a tremendous number of Star Guardians directly shared their questions and feedback with us. You provided far more insights than we had anticipated, and our entire development team is reading through each and every comment, deeply feeling the weight of your words.

We are carefully reviewing everything you shared to ensure nothing is overlooked, and we found that much of your feedback directly ties into the upcoming Version 1.6 update.

In this edition of our Developer Notes, alongside details regarding the Version 1.6 update, we would like to address the topics that were brought up most frequently during our second AMA.

■ Version 1.6 Update Details 1. 100-Day Anniversary Seasonal Events In this Version 1.6 update, a special seasonal event will be held to celebrate our 100-day anniversary milestone. As some of you may have already guessed from our teasers, this update will feature a beach vacation theme.

Players will be able to enjoy a dedicated Event Story set in an exclusive event region. By progressing through the Event Story, you can obtain Mannie’s swimsuit Outfit Skin completely for free.

Furthermore, you can challenge special bosses and discover new gatherable materials exclusively within this event region. We are preparing a variety of activities in this area to provide you with generous rewards, including Star Fragments, so please be sure not to miss out on any of them.

As many of you are already aware, swimsuit Outfit Skins for Merlin, Clotho, and Mannie will also be released alongside this update.

Currently in Origin, you can acquire Skins through the Skin Draw even if you do not currently own the respective hero. If you obtain the hero later during a rerun banner, you will be able to immediately equip any Skins you previously secured, so we hope you look forward to their release.

Additionally, starting from the second week of the update, the multiplayer mini-game event ‘Magic★Pop’, which we previously revealed at global game shows, will be officially open. We look forward to your excitement and participation, Star Guardians!

2. New \ Difficulty Added to ‘Taranis's Sanctuary’

With the Version 1.6 update, we plan to introduce a lower \ difficulty to ‘Taranis’s Sanctuary’.

In this newly added \ difficulty, you will be able to obtain Star Fragments, the resource our Star Guardians need the most, in the same exact way as the existing \ difficulty.

Because this new \ difficulty is designed to be more accessible, individual pieces of the ‘Greedy Ruler’ armor set will not drop directly from the boss reward list. However, we are adding an exchange feature that will allow you to trade the ‘Mystic Tokens’ earned from clearing the dungeon for ‘Greedy Ruler’ armor pieces instead.

For Star Guardians who currently find the \ difficulty a bit too challenging, our goal is to provide a smoother, step-by-step progression path. You can utilize the \ difficulty to farm Star Fragments, grow your heroes, and master the encounters before confidently taking on the \ difficulty when you feel ready.

3. Pet Expedition System

We are introducing a new feature that allows you to put your captured pets to good use by having them gather field resources on your behalf

Whether you need Tree Sap or Platinum Ore, you can now dispatch your pets to specific regions to collect the necessary materials, saving you the time and effort of traveling there yourself.

The specific pets you can assign will vary depending on the type and grade of the target resource. Furthermore, your pets' grades and unique skills will directly boost the overall efficiency of the expedition.

Since we plan to continuously introduce a wide variety of new pets in future updates, we will keep expanding the Pet Expedition system accordingly. Our goal is to ensure that seeking out and capturing pets remains a meaningful, long-term pursuit for all Star Guardians.

4. Time Attack Ranking Pre-Season Details

Since the Time Attack Ranking inherently drives players to push for the fastest possible clear times, we anticipated that unexpected variables and rule-related issues might arise.

This is exactly why we chose to run a Pre-Season to identify potential systemic flaws before officially launching the regular season. We are currently reviewing the various issues that surfaced during Time Attack Pre-Season 2.

We have identified several problems, such as terrain glitches used to artificially shorten routes and gimmicks triggering under unintended conditions. We are actively working on fixes for these issues ahead of the regular season’s launch.

Our development team is fully aware of the immense effort it takes to shave seconds off your records, perfecting the timing of every single skill and dash. We sincerely apologize for our shortcomings during Pre-Season 2 and for failing to provide a completely stable environment for those who worked so hard on the rankings.

We will do our utmost to ensure a stable, competitive environment for the upcoming regular Time Attack season.

In addition to the Pre-Season 2 fixes, we touched upon the strategy of stacking buffs in the starting area before combat begins in a previous developer notes. Based on the clear records and gameplay data you provided during the pre-season, we closely reviewed the impact of this playstyle to determine how to handle it moving forward.

Because Origin’s combat emphasizes team synergy and rotating buffs over the raw power of a single hero, we concluded that the performance gap between players who pre-buff and those who do not would be extremely difficult to bridge fairly.

More importantly, this strategy requires a long and tedious setup phase, forcing players to unnecessarily spam skills just to build up Magic Points. We felt this shifted the core focus of the mode away from engaging with floor mechanics and boss fights, turning it instead into a contest of how many buffs can be stacked beforehand.

For these reasons, starting with the regular Time Attack season, skill usage will be restricted in the waiting area before combat begins. We want the Time Attack Ranking to serve as a true test of your heroes’ growth and your own combat proficiency, rather than a tedious preparation exercise.

Finally, to encourage even more Star Guardians to take on the challenge, we are preparing new Achievements and corresponding rewards for the regular season. Rather than strictly rewarding high rankings, we are designing the system so you can steadily earn rewards simply by participating and registering your clear times. We look forward to seeing many of you take on the challenge.

■ AMA Season 2 Key Questions & Answers During our second AMA, we received over 600 inquiries from Star Guardians across all of our global regions. 

Our development team is currently reading through and carefully reviewing every single submission. Today, we would like to start by addressing the topics that were brought up most frequently.

While it is difficult to provide an individual response to every question, we will continue to review everything you have shared and provide further answers in future Developer Notes.

Q1. The difficulty of the ‘Taranis’s Sanctuary’ Raid feels unreasonable. 

The most frequent piece of feedback we received during this AMA was regarding the difficulty of the ‘Taranis’s Sanctuary’ Raid.

‘Taranis’s Sanctuary’ was originally designed as weekly cooperative content intended for Star Guardians who have already achieved significant growth through Dungeons, Boss Challenges, and other end-game activities. Rather than allowing one or two highly geared players to simply carry the party to a quick clear, we designed this content to provide an experience where everyone must strategize and work together.

However, since this is the primary content for acquiring Star Fragments, our internal metrics confirm that many of you are repeatedly attempting and failing to clear it at your current progression levels.

Regarding the feedback that party play actually makes the experience disproportionately difficult, we plan to closely monitor your overall progression following the addition of the new \ difficulty. Based on those live observations, we will carefully review whether further adjustments to the overall balance are necessary.

Q2. Manually changing equipment loadouts and settings is inconvenient.

We received a lot of feedback regarding the inconvenience of manually swapping Engraved Equipment, Armor, and Accessories every time you change weapons. Our development team completely agrees that this causes significant fatigue during repeated gameplay.

✦ Addition of Equipment Presets by Weapon Type We are currently preparing a feature that will allow you to configure separate equipment presets based on your weapon type, aiming for release in the update scheduled for Wednesday, July 15.

Once this feature is implemented, your entire armor setup will automatically switch whenever you change your weapon, significantly reducing the hassle of swapping your gear piece by piece. We will provide more specific details in a future update details notice closer to the feature’s release.

Q3. Hawk Pass rewards like Enhancement Stones and Refinement Stones lack appeal.

The Hawk Pass was originally designed with a focus on weapon progression. However, as various in-game changes have accumulated over time, such as Elite Monster reward cubes becoming free to open, our development team is fully aware that the perceived value of certain items included in the Hawk Pass has shifted.

Following the Version 1.6 update, we plan to thoroughly review the overall efficiency of the Hawk Pass rewards. We will restructure the contents to ensure our Star Guardians feel they are receiving practical, meaningful value for their progression.

Q4. Escanor feels significantly lacking in utility and performance compared to other Attacker heroes.

Many Star Guardians have shared their feedback regarding Escanor’s combat performance. 

Based on the extensive feedback we received, we closely reviewed Escanor’s actual combat data. As a result, we plan to buff certain aspects of his performance in the upcoming Version 1.6 update.

✦ Escanor Performance Adjustments (Scheduled for the Version 1.6 Update) We are easing the activation conditions for his Axe and Greatsword skills and enhancing their overall utility so they feel much easier and more natural to use. Additionally, we are making adjustments to raise his maximum damage potential. We will share the exact values and specific details in advance through an upcoming update details notice.

Q5. There are not enough Star Fragments obtainable through gameplay.

During this AMA, we continued to see feedback regarding the scarcity of Star Fragments.

Our development team is currently focused on continuously expanding the amount of content that allows you to farm Star Fragments, similar to Taranis’s Sanctuary.

In addition to regularly expanding permanent farming sources, we will also gradually increase the amount of Star Fragments you can earn from events that launch alongside our major content updates. Moving forward, we will continue to scale up the available supply in tandem with the addition of new content and events. 

Q6. We want to see a wider variety of events and content. 

Many of our Star Guardians have expressed a desire for immersive, large-scale events rather than simple, mission-based checklists.

While we will continue to run basic mission-based events so players can easily participate and claim quick rewards, we are also regularly preparing major seasonal events. These will feature unique storylines and exclusive areas, similar to the previous ‘Echoes of Hearts’ events and the ‘Spray Island’ region debuting in the Version 1.6 update, to provide you with a much richer gameplay experience.

Q7. The demand for gatherable and minable materials like Platinum is increasing, but the limited supply makes them scarce.

Through this AMA, we noted feedback that the demand for Platinum Ingots has spiked significantly since they are now required to craft the ‘Tailor’s Stitching Needle’ and ‘Engraver’s Fabric Scissors’, while the available supply has not been able to keep pace.

We are closely monitoring the acquisition and consumption rates of materials that require mining. Moving forward, gatherable and minable materials like Platinum will be expanded into the new regions arriving after the Version 1.6 update.

In addition to expanding these resource nodes through upcoming regional updates, we are also providing an alternative supply route through the Version 1.6 event region.

✦ Additional Gathering & Mining Materials in the Version 1.6 Event Region In this upcoming event region, you will be able to gather ‘Platinum Ore’ and ‘Sunstone Ore’, as well as ‘Flower Petals of Pure Love’ and other essential materials required for creating armor. We highly encourage you to take full advantage of these extra resource nodes during the event period.

Q8. Occasionally, Combined Attacks do not trigger properly, or Ultimate Move buffs fail to apply.

Many Star Guardians have reported issues regarding Combined Attacks failing to trigger correctly. Our development team is fully aware of these issues, and we are currently working on fixes to resolve them.

One of the primary causes we identified is an issue where a Combined Attack fails to execute if the partner hero is currently in the middle of a Tag-Out animation. We are currently working to streamline Tag-Out animations to address this problem, aiming for a fix within the July update.

Additionally, we have identified other instances where Combined Attacks fail to trigger due to targeting errors, such as when no target is locked onto, or when the target is airborne from a jump or knock-up. We will continue to investigate and implement continuous improvements to resolve these issues. ✦ Combined Attack Activation Rules Given the high volume of inquiries regarding Combined Attacks, we would like to provide a more detailed explanation of how this mechanic currently functions in-game. 

We realize that the current lack of clear in-game explanations has caused confusion, and we plan to steadily improve this transparency in future updates.

Currently in Origin, a Combined Attack allows two heroes to unleash their Ultimate Moves simultaneously to deal higher damage. The system calculates this by pooling the total damage output of both heroes' Ultimate Moves and distributing it across the duration of the Combined Attack animation.

Because of this specific calculation process, the individual utility or buff effects tied to each hero’s standard Ultimate Move do not trigger independently. Instead, only the raw damage values are combined.

While individual Ultimate Move effects are omitted during this sequence, we designed this mechanic to instantly trigger a Burst Effect based on the executing hero’s Attribute. This design choice was intended to create a distinct tactical difference between using a standard Ultimate Move versus a Combined Attack.

In multiplayer party play, a Combined Attack occurs when separate players trigger their Ultimate Moves simultaneously, fusing them into a single coordinated attack. Consequently, any zone-based effects that normally persist within an Ultimate Move’s radius will immediately disappear once the Combined Attack activates. However, any instant effects applied immediately upon casting the Ultimate Move will still trigger.

We understand that the lack of clear in-game guidance regarding these rules has caused significant confusion for many of you. We will make sure to add comprehensive in-game descriptions detailing these exact mechanics in an upcoming update.

✦ Bug Fixes Regarding Combined Attacks Some Star Guardians may have noticed that the individual effects of an Ultimate Move would occasionally trigger when using a Combined Attack.

This behavior contradicts the actual intended specifications of Combined Attacks and was caused by a processing error with buff application timing during development. This issue will be resolved in the upcoming Version 1.6 update.

Additionally, we would like to inform you about an important balance fix. Currently, there is an issue where heroes equipped with Reaction Immunity are mistakenly gaining immunity to status ailments as well, rather than just hit reactions.

At present, ‘Black Rook’, the first Elite Boss in Taranis’s Sanctuary, is the only boss capable of inflicting status ailments. Due to this bug, certain skills that grant Reaction Immunity are incorrectly blocking Black Rook’s stun effect.

Because this issue could negatively impact upcoming content featuring various status ailments, we will be correcting it in this update so that Reaction Immunity properly applies only to hit reactions, as originally intended.

We sincerely apologize once again for the confusion caused by these hero skill errors. We will continue to closely monitor and resolve any remaining issues moving forward.

Q9. The materials required to reset Engraved Equipment feel unreasonable.

We received a significant amount of feedback from our Star Guardians regarding the Engraved Equipment reset system. In particular, many of you pointed out that the risk of your equipment stats potentially rolling lower feels unfair given the high value of the materials required for crafting them.

As an immediate measure, we are preparing to provide more opportunities to acquire ‘Tailor’s Stitching Needles’ and ‘Engraver’s Fabric Scissors’ through events and other channels.

In the long term, we will continuously work on gradual improvements to ensure that the practical value and utility of ‘Tailor’s Stitching Needles’ and ‘Engraver’s Fabric Scissors’ truly live up to our Star Guardians’ expectations.

Q10. Having to roam around every single day to gather resources feels far too exhausting.

Gathering fatigue is an issue that our Star Guardians have consistently brought to our attention. To be entirely honest, our development team actively mines for resources every day as well, so we fully understand this exhaustion firsthand and are monitoring the issue very closely.

As an immediate step to alleviate this burden, we are introducing the previously mentioned Pet Expedition feature in the Version 1.6 update.

We plan to first allow you to automatically acquire basic materials through Pet Expeditions. After analyzing the impact of this new system, we will continue to implement further solutions to steadily reduce gathering fatigue moving forward. Because the addition of the Pet Expedition system makes capturing pets significantly more important, the capturing improvements we introduced in our previous developer notes will also be implemented in this Version 1.6 update.

We are adding a new recipe to craft a higher-grade Potion of Charm than the existing ‘Concentrated Potion of Charm’, which previously could not be used to capture certain hidden pets. This new potion will expand your opportunities to capture hidden pets, even if the success rate remains low.

Furthermore, we are improving the system so that your capturing potions will not be consumed if you accidentally use one without a target pet selected. Since learning a hidden pet’s behavior patterns and mastering the capturing timing is already a difficult challenge in itself, we want to ensure you never lose your hard-earned potions to a misclick. Our goal is to reduce unnecessary stress throughout your taming journey. 

Q11. When will Knighthood content be updated?

As mentioned in our previous developer notes, we are currently developing Knighthood content with a target release in July.

This update will introduce Knighthood Boss Battles alongside Knighthood Rankings, and the system will be structured so that you can earn rewards based on your Knighthood activities and overall contribution. Our goal is to continuously expand Knighthood content step by step following the July update. Regarding expanding the maximum member capacity for Knighthoods, we plan to carefully review this in stages after observing live gameplay data once the system is live.

✦ Expansion of Team Formation Slots We are also aiming to introduce an expansion to the total number of Team Formation slots, a feature requested by many of our Star Guardians, alongside the upcoming Knighthood update.

However, increasing the number of available team formation slots is not just a simple UI change. It is a task that requires a thorough technical review of our entire server architecture, as it impacts how the team composition data for every single one of our Star Guardians is stored and managed. We plan to proceed with this update only after conducting exhaustive testing to ensure absolute stability. We will provide more comprehensive details in a future update details notice closer to the feature’s release. 

Q12. The game causes severe overheating during gameplay, and the overall stability feels poor.

Our development team has been prioritizing crash stabilization above all else. Even after reaching points where we felt stability had been largely secured, we have continuously identified new crash instances arising from subsequent update content, and we are currently focusing heavily on resolving these issues.

At the same time, we are parallely working on performance optimization across all platforms. We have identified specific, high-resource bottlenecks within the gameplay loop and are systematically addressing them step by step. Our goal is to implement these optimization fixes incrementally with every major update as they are finalized. We will not stop our optimization efforts until every single Star Guardian can enjoy a smooth and seamless experience on any device.

Q13. We want to experience more story content.

Our goal is to continuously expand the narrative depth and volume of the Main Quests moving forward. In particular, starting with the Version 2.0 update, the stage will shift to an entirely new region, which we expect will allow us to deliver a much more robust and substantial storyline than before.

In addition, through this AMA, we clearly heard the voices of many Star Guardians who miss the original story of \. We received numerous requests from players who wish to experience the iconic moments of the original series right here inside Origin, alongside the new adventures unfolding in our game.

While completely recreating the entire original series storyline presents significant structural challenges, we are currently developing a dedicated story mode that will allow you to directly experience the major events and iconic highlights of the original series in a condensed format. We will share more comprehensive details through a future developer notes as soon as preparation is complete.

Q14. What are your plans for hero rerun banners? During this AMA, we also received a high volume of inquiries regarding the rerun schedule for major Pick Up heroes like Meliodas and Clotho.

In particular, many of you expressed a strong desire to see the rerun of heroes who serve as core DPS characters for each attribute, as well as fan-favorite characters from the original series.

To address this through today’s AMA, our development team is currently aiming to establish a regular rerun schedule roughly centered around our half-anniversary milestone. Excluding permanent banners accessible to all players at any time, or unavoidable technical exceptions, we plan to reintroduce Pick Up banners for previous heroes starting from the half-anniversary mark.

We are currently preparing something a bit special for our very first rerun banner, so we hope you look forward to it with great anticipation.

Q15. Please fix the bugs.

We sincerely apologize for the persistent bugs and technical issues that have occurred since launch. While we have been continuously working on fixes, we are deeply sorry for the ongoing inconvenience caused by both new and remaining bugs during your gameplay. We will continue to track down and resolve every single issue without exception, doing our absolute best to provide you with a much more stable environment moving forward.

■ 100 Days Since Launch: Our Sincerest Thanks and Apologies

In this edition of our developer notes, we aimed to address the most frequent inquiries raised during our second AMA.

We will continue to carefully review all the feedback you share with us beyond today’s notes, and we will do our absolute best to provide successive answers wherever possible in future updates.

It has already been 100 days since the global launch of Origin. While we have poured our hearts into delivering a stable service, we feel a deep sense of responsibility knowing that there are still many areas that fall short of your expectations.

In particular, we will continue to relentlessly track down and resolve ongoing technical issues regarding optimization and hero mechanics. Simultaneously, we are reviewing and refining our internal QA processes to minimize the occurrences of such bugs in the first place. We are fully committed to showing you a steadily improving Origin.

To express both our profound gratitude and our sincere apologies to all the Star Guardians who have walked with us throughout this 100-day journey, we have prepared a small token of our appreciation below.

In addition to this gift, we are preparing to offer even more abundant rewards through the upcoming Version 1.6 update, so we hope you look forward to it with great anticipation.
