Version 1.2 ‘999 Nights’ — Official Patch Summary & Deadlines

Version 1.2, “999 Nights,” went live after maintenance on July 8, 2026. This is the official-release summary: it separates confirmed patch-note information from advice and does not treat future banners or community claims as established fact.

Shinku and the first-half board

The update introduced the exclusive S-Class character Shinku and the limited S-Class Arc Blushing Mirage.

Before the Dawn character board: July 8 after maintenance to July 29, 05:59 (UTC+8)
Featured A-Class characters: Mint, Edgar, and Adler
Shinku’s story unlock requirement: complete Prologue – A New Destination – Head to Eibon Antique Shop
Blushing Mirage is obtained through the Resolve Special Arc Research Program during the same window

If you are still deciding on the board, treat July 29 as the firm published deadline. The official patch notes do not establish the identity, kit, or schedule of a later character board, so do not spend based on rumor.

Story and world expansion

Version 1.2 adds the main-story episode “Fighting with a Dragon.” It requires completion of Dreamwalk Corridor and Hunter Level 26. Progressing through it opens the new Warren Continent location.

The patch also adds Shinku City Hangouts, Home Time, Bond quests and interactions, messages, a combat tutorial, and several outfits.

The limited-time checklist

The headline event period runs through August 19, 05:59 (UTC+8). Key items include:

999 Nights limited-time event and mini-game
Circle Gifts: log in for seven days to earn Solid Dice ×10
Shadow-n-Seek: July 17, 10:00 to August 19, 05:59 (UTC+8)
Neon Rift Mystery Boxes
Eibon Partner Program

Two separate deadlines are easy to miss: Gold Clash doubles Fons in Pink Paws Heist only through August 3, and Circle Bounty ends August 18, 23:59. See the event calendar and 999 Nights guide for an actionable order.

Progression and quality-of-life additions

The patch adds outfit recoloring, Riichi Mahjong, fishkeeping, Decor Blueprints, a Midnight Catzebo teleport point, simplified Portable Player controls, expanded controller improvements, a mobile semi-automatic throttle setting, Arc-effect settings, and bulk selection for character, Arc, and Console upgrade materials.

There is also a Summer Special Gift Pack: create a character before Version 1.2 ends to receive an S-Class Standard Character Selection Box with Sakiri, Baicang, Hathor, Fadia, Daffodill, or Jiuyuan as choices. Eligible players can also receive the announced Annulith appreciation and maintenance/bug-fix compensation through in-game mail.
