We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has spent time with us throughout this year. All four of us, including myself, have been running non-stop since the launch of Sephiria, and watching you all enjoy the content we've prepared has made 2025 a truly rewarding year for us.

Since Launch...

It's already been 8 months since we launched Sephiria. I still vividly remember nervously pressing the launch button in early April. Despite the game's many shortcomings, we were able to make several great updates thanks to your advice.

MonthMajor Updates
AprilEarly Access Launch, Stabilization
MayNew Weapon 'Crossbow' Added
JuneCostume Appearance Customization, Hard Mode Expansion
JulyWishing Fountain, New Library Boss
AugustChapter 3
SeptemberNew Weapon 'Blade' Added
OctoberCombo System Overhaul
NovemberAdditional Combo Refinements
DecemberChapter 4

If I had to pick the most memorable update, it would definitely be the'Combo System'. I remember developing it bit by bit until it grew large enough to release as a public beta, where we carefully reviewed your feedback and gameplay data. Your passionate feedback really motivated us to develop it with enthusiasm.

And recently, the Chapter 4 update was uploaded. While the previous Chapter 3 had you repeatedly clear the same run to progress the story, we adopted a different approach for Chapter 4 where you complete several side missions before clearing the main run once to provide a fresh experience.

However, since this was pretty much our first time creating various story-related cutscenes (including side missions), we encountered many trial and error moments. As a result, the content might feel a bit shorter than the effort we put in. Converting Chapter 4 from a single-player exclusive design to support multiplayer also took some time.

Story cutscene development process. We created many of these cutscenes for Chapter 4.

Update Preview

We're currently working on several projects in parallel. We're continuing to stabilize Chapter 4, and we've begun development on 'Chapters 5-6'. We'd like to mention that Chapter 6 will be the final chapter that concludes Sephiria's main story. We plan to release up to Chapter 5 as Early Access updates, and unveil Chapter 6 with the full release.

We're also pushing forward with content additions. First, new Artifacts and Tablets will be added. We're also working on performance improvements for some Bond Artifacts and plan to introduce additional Bond Artifacts.

New Costumes are coming soon! We've prepared costumes with stats that weren't used before, like Fruit Skewer and Wishing Fountain. They'll be updated in the near future, so please try them out and share your thoughts anytime!

Now, about the next new weapon... The basic concept is complete and we're working on what upgrades to provide! Here's a quick silhouette preview.

Hmm... I'm sure the silhouette gives absolutely no clues about what weapon this is... right?

This weapon is still in early development, so it will take some time to complete. Please look forward to the finished version!

About the Full Release

Sephiria is scheduled for full release in 2026! While we haven't set an exact date, we're targeting the first half of 2026. We plan to continue with content updates for now, and we'll share the specific schedule once it's confirmed!

Closing

The year 2025 spent with all of you has been a truly happy one for our team. Your feedback and support have been making Sephiria a better game. We look forward
