December 23, 2024 - XD Inc. is excited to share that the latest update to its hit TRPG Sword of Convallaria, which has seen millions of downloads across PC and mobile since its launch in July, is coming on December 27th 2024. The new update, ‘Night Crimson’, brings with it new events, valuable rewards, and new ways to play that will capture the attention of fans over the holiday season.
The latest chapter of the Spiral of Destinies campaign introduces players to a whole new side of Waverun City’s storyline in the form of investigative clue wall gameplay, which adds investigation and detective elements to story battles. Players will be tasked with solving mysteries with tactical elements under the guidance of Safiyyah, the Mobile Squad’s strategic leader. See the trailer for the Night Crimson update.
The Night Crimson update also introduces a whole new character type in the form of SP Characters. These are alternate forms of the existing characters in Sword of Convallaria from different periods in time, with fresh new appearances and their own unique combat skills. In Night Crimson, the featured SP Characters are SP Rawiyah, who is coming January 3rd, and Taair, coming January 17th. Both characters can fight alongside one another in the same battle. Players who own both the original and SP versions of a character will be able to unlock an exclusive SP skill, which significantly boosts both version's combat power.
Completing the series of in-game events, which started on December 20th and run through the release of the ‘Night Crimson’ update, will grant players valuable rewards, including abundant Secret Fates and legendary trinkets. The Waverun Tournament, starting on January 3rd, will allow players to exchange event points for exclusive items and avatar frames. These rewards will be vital in strengthening characters for the battles ahead.
