If you’ve been playing this cross-platform open-world ARPG on your PS5, you’ll be excited to know that data-sharing is supported across PS5, PC, and mobile for a truly seamless gaming experience. Mark your calendars for March 26, when we launch Version 2.2, named Tangled Truth in the Inverted Tower. This update is packed with new characters, maps, gameplay features, and much more. Plus, complete the Main Quest and get rewarded with a free 5-Star weapon!
Let’s dive into the new main quest where players will set out on a journey to Avinoleum, uncovering the mysteries of Cartethyia and Sentinel along the way. Reflecting on the narrative from version 2.0, Cartethyia—the enigmatic girl—and the missing Imperator hold secrets that are waiting to be revealed. This adventure, kicking off at Beohr Waters behind Porto-Veno Castle, takes Rovers to the avatars of Avinoleum. There, you’re set to delve into the history of Rinascita and unravel the truth of Sentinel within the inverted seminary. By completing this quest, you’ll earn the 5-Star Sword, Bloodpact’s Pledge.
Turning to our new characters, meet the 5-Star Resonator Cantarella, who steps into the spotlight in version 2.2. As the 36th Lead of the Fisalia family, Cantarella embodies deep-sea and venomous motifs wielding a Rectifier. She uses her trusty umbrella in combat, striking with toxic jellyfish. Her distinctive attack style builds a unique energy called Trance, allowing her to unleash heavy ground attacks and enter the mesmerizing Mirage state. Harness her abilities to heal your team, hamper foes, and extend the duration of coordinated assaults with her skills.
Meanwhile, get ready for Rover’s new attribute: Aero. Once unlocked, Rover can wield a one-handed sword, deftly navigating the air to take down enemies. Meet specific conditions to heal your entire team with aerial attacks. Additionally, Aero Rover can unleash powerful Resonance Skills while airborne, turning Negative Status effects into crippling Aero Erosion Effects. When the Outro Skill is activated, it boosts the max stacks of Aero Erosion. Over time, gather energy to summon a grandiose sword from the skies, dealing significant Aero Damage to foes and giving teammates a healing boon.
Delve into a fresh Companion Story, “Cantarella – A Fleeting Night’s Dream.” Available with version 2.2, players will escort Rover to Egla Town for the Night of Remembrance, guided by a cryptic letter from the Ghost Girl. Unravel a hidden story within the Sea of Ghosts, set against the backdrop of Porto-Veno Castle, with Cantarella revealing mysteries waiting to be discovered.
In this new update, explore a captivating region—Avinoleum. Once hailed as Ragunna’s grandest seminary, it now reaches upwards with Sentinel, enduring the ravages of past calamities, like the Dark Tide. The area is surrounded by Tacet Discords as the threat of the Dark Tide looms. So, to combat these dangers, Avinoleum’s gravity has been flipped on its head, literally! Navigate a world where ceilings are now the ground with Gravity Adjustment challenges, utilizing Gravity Calibrators to switch gravity’s direction at will.

The release on PS5 is only the beginning of our continued quest to deliver exhilarating content to gamers worldwide.
