Smilegate's premier RPG has just rolled out a captivating new prequel story, "A Resolve Inherited," available starting today, along with a suite of quality-of-life enhancements that will elevate your gaming experience.

Set in an alternate timeline known as the 6th World, "A Resolve Inherited" explores a universe on the brink of complete destruction due to its cyclic nature of ruin and rebirth. This gripping narrative follows the journey of Krau and Victorika, the central protagonists, both of whom are fully voiced, adding depth to their compelling story. Players will delve into Krau's mission to safeguard Victorika through both the main episode and enriching side-story content.

Adding to the excitement, Guard Captain Krau is introduced as a new playable five-star character. Krau's unique ability to deal damage based on the caster's Defense makes him a formidable offensive force. His skills enable him to bypass enemy defenses, apply debuffs, and boost his own Combat Readiness, making him a versatile addition to any team.

Even if the ongoing storyline of Epic Seven isn't your primary focus, Krau's impressive abilities are sure to pique your interest. Alongside the new character, the update brings a host of quality-of-life improvements. The growth support systems for the new episode, including the Heart of Orbis, have been revamped, and new player guides have been updated to streamline early game progression. Additionally, the Ogre's Armory system is introduced to help players acquire essential equipment more efficiently.

A significant reduction in the Catalyst cost for hero growth is another welcome change, making it easier to enhance your heroes. The update also includes various UI and gameplay improvements scattered throughout the game, enhancing overall user experience.
