    Duet Night Abyss: Huaxu Version – The Wind Awakening · Part II, you know things are about to get electric—literally

    Pan Studio recently dropped the trailer for the second half of the Huaxu expansion, which officially launched on February 10, 2026. This update doesn’t just add a few quests; it fundamentally shifts how we explore the Eastern-inspired landscapes of Huaxu.

    Here is a breakdown of everything revealed in the Part II trailer and the massive update it heralds.

    New Characters: The Electro Duo

    The trailer put a heavy spotlight on two new heavy hitters joining the roster. As a reminder, Duet Night Abyss has moved away from traditional character gacha, meaning you can earn these units through gameplay like “Immersive Theatre.”

    • Zhiliu: A mysterious merchant whose aesthetic screams “traditional-meets-tech.” She is a Thunder-element AoE DPS powerhouse. Her ultimate, Four Realms Align, summons a massive Thunder Dragon that clears the screen with staggering multipliers.
    • Yuming: The second Electro addition features striking dragon-scale motifs. While Zhiliu handles the crowds, Yuming is designed as a Downfall Attacker with significant defence-shredding capabilities, making them essential for boss encounters.

    The Mount System: High-Speed Exploration

    Perhaps the most “Quality of Life” improvement shown in the trailer is the official debut of Mounts.

    • Four Mount Types: The update introduces ground and aerial mounts to help navigate the verticality of Huaxu.
    • Mecha-Sable Bi’an: This sleek, mechanical beast can be earned for free by completing specific in-game tasks.
    • Aerial Traversal: While the “Helix Leap” remains the king of combat movement, these mounts offer a more cinematic (and stamina-friendly) way to cross the vast Gritblight Expanse.

    System Overhauls & New Features

    The trailer also teased several backend improvements that make the game feel much more like a living, breathing world:

    1. Auto-Battler Mode

    For those looking to farm materials for the new Demon Wedges (like the Eldritch Cerberus set) without the manual grind, a new auto-mode has been integrated. This is a godsend for veteran players focused on min-maxing their builds.

    2. Regional Reputation: “Rise to Fame”

    Huaxu now features its own reputation system. By completing commissions and assisting the locals in Mistwharf, players can unlock exclusive regional rewards and lore snippets.

    3. Social & Localisation

    • Gifting System: You can now send cosmetic items to friends.
    • French Localisation: The game has officially expanded its reach with full French language support.

    Why This Matters

    The Wind Awakening arc represents Pan Studio’s commitment to a “dual-narrative” that feels distinct. Moving from the icy desolation of the early game into the vibrant, neon-lit pavilions of Huaxu shows off the Unreal Engine 4 visual overhaul in full effect. The lighting and textures in the Part II trailer are a noticeable step up, making the “Oriental Fantasy” theme truly pop.

    Pro-Tip: If you haven’t logged in yet, check your mail for the “Serenity Character Skin Selection” box and your 10 Prismatic Hourglasses to celebrate the launch!

    Are you planning to main Zhiliu, or are you holding out for Yuming’s dragon-themed kit?

  • New Foes Arrive in Corrupted Camelot: SWORN Content Update is LIVE!

    New Foes Arrive in Corrupted Camelot: SWORN Content Update is LIVE!

    Brave Soulforged, King Arthur has called in reinforcements! The latest content update for SWORN has landed, bringing a fresh wave of challenge, power, and polish to the dark, Arthurian co-op rogue-like. Prepare to face three new corrupted Knights of the Round Table and dominate the battlefield with significant weapon and blessing tweaks.

    Here is your essential guide to what’s new in the fight to reclaim Camelot!

    Arthur’s New Corrupted Knights: Three Alternate Bosses

    The biggest addition to this patch is the introduction of three new alternate Bosses. If you’ve been carving your way through the greater difficulties, prepare for an unexpected twist! These foes can now appear at the end of a Biome instead of the usual boss when playing on Knight difficulty or higher.

    New BossTitle & Key Challenge
    Lady KayWall of Camelot. Wields a gigantic shield. You must find a way to power through her formidable defenses.
    Sir DagonetGrasp of The Mire. A gluttonous knight who revels in traps and poison, dragging Soulforged and rendering them immobile with his devastating hook.
    Lady AgravainScourge of Ships. Driven mad, this terrifying adversary dashes around her nest with breakneck speed. You’ll need to read her movements to survive her flurry of feathers and steel.

    These new encounters drastically increase the variety and unpredictability of each run, ensuring even the most seasoned players will need to adapt their strategies.

    Combat Domination: Weapons & Blessings Tweaks

    The developers have listened to player feedback and delivered some potent adjustments to the combat system, focusing on increasing build diversity and player power at the high end.

    • Attack Speed Cap Increased: The Bonus Attack Speed internal maximum has been increased from 50% to a massive 100%. This means the total attack speed cap is now 2x your base, up from 1.5x, opening the door for even faster, more frenetic builds!
    • Quality of Life for the Tome: The Tome’s Augment ‘Book Mark’ now has a Perfect Shot indicator, rewarding precise timing.
    • Bug Fixes and Balance: Several blessings and weapon augments that were granting unintended amounts of attack speed (like Oberon’s Flow and the Gauntlets’ ‘Flying Fists’) have been corrected to ensure fair, yet powerful, gameplay.

    The Potion Station: New Run-to-Run Mechanic

    The fight for Camelot just got a little more strategic! The previous major update introduced a New Potion System, which is worth highlighting for new and returning players:

    • Custom Flasks: Before each run, you can now speak to Guinevere to choose a powerful flask that offers an additional edge in combat.
    • Fae Lord Shrines: Find special Fae Lord shrines during your run to unlock their unique flask, which guarantees a blessing from that specific Fae Lord. This allows for a deeper level of build planning and consistency.

    More Polish, More Power

    Beyond the major features, this update includes numerous general quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes:

    • Updated VFX for the Greathammer and various event rooms.
    • Stability and performance improvements, especially for lower-end machines.
    • Tweaks to major enemy behaviour, like the Deep Harbour Wave Thrower and Major Suncaster, make their encounters more challenging and consistent with other Major Foes.

    This update is a clear signal that the fight against the corrupted King Arthur is far from over. Grab your allies, choose your oaths, and dive back into a revitalised and even more challenging Camelot!
