Hello, this is Valhalla PD, greeting you for the first time through the Developer's Note.

In this Developer's Note, we would like to share some of the update plans for the first half of 2025. This includes content currently under development as well as topics that are actively being discussed in the planning stages. We aim to continuously share future updates through additional Developer's Notes, so please feel free to share your valuable feedback. Your input will help us create a more diverse and exciting content lineup.

■ Planned Improvements

1. Adding New Event Arena
A New Event Arena will be introduced. We are preparing a variety of Event Arenas, such as a mode where Contractors can use skills directly and a Real-Time Arena featuring strategic gameplay with Hero Bans Picks. These will be added periodically to provide diverse rewards while keeping the existing Arena intact.

2. Expanded Content Difficulty
Following the expanded Tower of Reincarnation from the November update, the difficulty of other Challenge content will also be expanded. Currently, we are preparing to expand the Cloudscape Isles and plan to overhaul Clan Raids, add Event Dungeons, etc to offer continuous Challenges for Contractors.

3. Clan Raid Overhaul
Clan Raids have deviated from their intended purpose as cooperative content for clan members, with issues like competition between Clan members or being unable to progress Missions due to its rapid clear after reset. We aim to revamp this system to foster United Clan Activities and ensure each member can achieve personal goals and rewards. This update is expected as early as January.

■ New Content

1. Shards of Power (Tentative Name)
We are developing a Shards of Power system to further Enhance Heroes. This system features 8 parts across Various Themes, which can be collected, equipped, and enhanced for Heroes. Shards of Power will have additional stat options beyond their base abilities, and equipping pieces of the same Theme will activate Set Bonus Effects. Shards of Power can be obtained randomly through various content, and their Enhancement will not involve durability. Instead, they will be upgraded using only gold. This system has been designed to shift away from the perception that Growth Content must require heavy spending, ensuring a more player-friendly experience. We look forward to hearing your feedback once this content is live.

2. Clan Reward System Added
A New Reward System to strengthen the Bonds between Clan Members will be introduced. Clan Members can earn Points by completing Valhalla Pass Clan Missions or purchasing certain packages, Reward will be given upon reaching specific points. We are also preparing to extend this system so that points can be accumulated through various in-game activities. Your feedback will be invaluable as we refine this feature.

This concludes the Content we’re sharing in this Developer's Note.

The details of the Announced Content may change during Development. We ask for your continued feedback and interest as we work toward delivering better Updates.

We look forward to meeting you again in the next Developer's Note.
Thank you!
