PATCH HIGHLIGHTS
- Everything comes to this: the way clear, the path open. Kaidan, the district of a hundred ghostly tales, has but one final story to tell: Enter the den of the eight-headed serpent itself–the Orochi Tower. The final chapter of the Tokyo storyline, the colossal Orochi Tower features hours of new story and gameplay content across over 20 sections, exploring all 8 Orochi subsidiaries. Learn more here!
- The gates of the mysterious Kantoku Temple are now unbarred and unguarded. Were the temple gates originally sealed to ward off potential intruders, or was it to keep something in…? Face new creatures inspired by Japanese folklore and mythology in a brand-new, never-before-seen Lair region, located in the northeast corner of Kaidan!
- A new cache is on the scene! Fans of the venerable eight-legged arthropods rejoice; The Haunted Cache is dropping across the world! With it are chances at a Black Widow spider pet, the unsettlingly realistically-modelled Arachnoid Cycle, and “Araneae’s Recluse”, a brand-new 6-piece outfit!
