Duet Night Abyss changes
Dear Phoxhunter,
Nice to meet you again. Earlier this month, we reached out to some players via Discord messages to gather thoughts and suggestions. We are currently reviewing all the feedback you shared, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.
With the launch of the [Phoxhunter Summit] event, all content for [The Wind Awakening: Part I] is now live. We have also prepared a survey questionnaire, which will be sent to you shortly via in-game mail. The survey covers story content, gameplay optimizations, monetization, and events. We hope you can take a moment to complete it and share any suggestions regarding areas where the experience could be improved. We will carefully review every piece of feedback and continue to optimize the game in future updates, striving to deliver an even better experience for all Phoxhunters.
Next, we'd like to share our update plans and content schedule for upcoming versions.
First, at 10:00 AM tomorrow (UTC+8), we will release the version PV for [The Wind Awakening: Part II] on our official channels. The PV will feature new characters, weapons, Myriad skins, events, newly added systems, and various optimizations.
Due to the time limit of the video, not all content can be fully showcased. As a preview, [The Wind Awakening: Part II] will introduce some new side stories, telling more small tales that take place across the land of Mistwharf. In addition, following the April version update, a brand-new map will be unlocked, and the adventure will continue. What will happen after parting ways with Zhiliu? The answers will be revealed in time. Notably, the new story content will maintain the same narrative scope and scale as [The Wind Awakening: Part I]. We have also prepared a post-epilogue for [The Grand Incense Rite], awaiting each of you to explore.
Below are several in-development screenshots of new scenes. We look forward to beginning the next journey in Huaxu together with you.
*(In-development visuals. Please refer to the final in-game presentation.)
Perhaps you may still recall the opening scene of [The Wind Awakening: Part I] PV, where the protagonist rode alongside Zhiliu, Yuming, and Kezhou on Bi'an. That moment was more than a visual flourish. In [The Wind Awakening: Part II], the [Mounts] system will be officially introduced, turning mount riding into a fully playable gameplay feature. You will be able to freely traverse the world on mounts. More mounts in different styles will also be added to the in-game store in future updates — stay tuned!
The Bi'an mentioned above will be available as a free mount through the upcoming system [Reputation]. By completing [Rise to Fame] quests in different regions and increasing your Reputation Level, Phoxhunters can earn a wide range of rewards, including the [Bi'an]! [Reputation] is designed as a long-term progression system that unfolds alongside the journey. As new regions are introduced in future updates, additional Reputation will also be unlocked. We invite all Phoxhunters to actively take part and share your feedback and suggestions with us.
Beyond the [Mount] and [Reputation] system, the [The Wind Awakening: Part II] update will introduce a variety of additional content. Here's a brief overview and full details will be shared on our official channels soon:
Lunotress's Monthly Pass
a. Daily rewards for [Lunotress's Monthly Pass] have been optimized. The daily rewards have been increased from Phoxene ×90 and Commission Manual: Volume Ⅱ ×1 to Phoxene ×90 and Commission Manual: Volume Ⅱ ×2.
- b. Weekly purchase limit for Commission ManualVolume Ⅱ in [Shop] — [Phoxene Exchange] has been adjusted. The limit has been increased from a maximum of 12 purchases per week to a maximum of 24 purchases per week.
c. Players who have already purchased the Monthly Pass will receive compensation based on the above adjustments. We will retrieve purchase and reward-claim data for all Phoxhunters to process the compensation. This may take some time, but rest assured that all adjusted items will be sent via in-game mail before the version update.
Forge System Update
a. When sufficient materials are available, players will be able to craft required Demon Wedges in batches.
b. The Forge System now features a material conversion function. In addition to weapon ascension materials and skill upgrade materials mentioned in Luno's Bulletin Ⅳ, players can also convert weapon component materials obtained from Secret Letters.
c. Demon Wedge conversion is added to material conversion.
• Combine any 2 Blue-tier Demon Wedges to synthesize 1 random Blue-tier Demon Wedge.
• Combine any 2 Purple-tier Demon Wedges to synthesize 1 random Purple-tier Demon Wedge.
Newly Added Demon Wedges to Expand Existing Combat Mechanics
a. A new batch of Character Demon Wedges and Move-Variant Demon Wedges have been added alongside this new version.
b. New Demon Wedges have been added across multiple categories.
• Gold-tier Melee Move-Variant Demon Wedges
• Ranged Weapon Demon Wedges
• Melee Consonance Weapon Demon Wedges
Limited-Time Event Rewards Update
a. More in-game rewards for limited-time events.
b. More event reward offerings, with new cosmetics added, including character accessories.
In any Commission ∞, solo-mode now features an Auto-Continue function. Before entering the commissions, players can manually set the number of Auto-Continue waves. After winning each wave and once the countdown ends, the system will automatically select [Next Challenge]. The number of Auto-Continue waves can be set to a maximum of 99 waves.
French language has been added to the game and is now available for players to select.
Additionally, in the April update — [The Firmament Unbound], we will introduce a brand-new event for cosmetics. During the event, Phoxhunters will be able to use [Phoxene] to obtain new character skins and accessories. More event details will be announced through our official channels. We recommend planning your [Phoxene] accordingly and reserving some in advance if you wish to participate.
We fully understand that, at present, neither the pace of new content development nor the speed of version optimization has fully met everyone's expectations. Going forward, we will continue to listen closely to your feedback while making sustained efforts to improve the game. On this basis, we have established long-term plans focused on the following directions, which will be advanced in parallel:
We will continuously optimize existing features and systems and reasonably adjust progression pressure, while continuing regular updates for characters, weapons, and story content.
By introducing new Character Demon Wedges, Weapon Demon Wedges, and Consonance Demon Wedges, as well as new progression systems, we aim to strengthen early-stage characters and weapons, while also launching events with varied gameplay experiences.
We will continue to develop new commission modes and systems to further enrich the daily gameplay experience.
Once again, our sincere thanks go out to every Phoxhunter. Your support and feedback give us both the motivation and the direction to continue improving Duet Night Abyss. Looking ahead, we will approach every piece of feedback with sincerity and gratitude, and work diligently to deliver content that is truly worth looking forward to — and worthy of your continued trust.
