Patch 1.18.00 was released on August 15, 2026 across all platforms. Its headline changes are a new Quests category in the Knowledge System, a switch of the research resource from silver to Camp Funds, and a three-way lock-on camera option, alongside a long list of quest, combat, and stability fixes. Hotfix 1.18.01 followed the next day. For the full running list see Patch Notes.
Added "Quests" as a new knowledge category, split into eight sub-categories: Main Quests, Faction Quests, Investigation Quests, Research Quests, Daily Life Quests, Guide, Archive Records, and Constellations. Quest knowledge entries are granted retroactively for quests already completed.

Fixed the pensive statue reverting to its unrepaired state while progressing the statue repair quest at Jijeong Temple.
Improved the Kiln Repair step at the Kilnden Workshop, in Chapter 4: The Price of Knowledge, Mysterious Pot, so the broken kiln pieces can be reattached using Force Current.
Fixed an issue where the "Defeat the enemies around the cabin" objective did not appear near Cairn House.
Fixed an issue where progression was blocked if the player switched to Oongka before meeting Torstein during "Time to Face Justice."
Lock-on Camera Rotation, under Input in the game settings, now offers three options instead of the previous enabled and disabled pair:
Option | Behavior |

Manual | The camera rotates freely with the right stick or mouse while lock-on is enabled. Equivalent to the previous enabled setting. |
Semi-auto | The camera rotates with the right stick or mouse within a limited range. |
Auto | The camera cannot be rotated manually while lock-on is enabled. Equivalent to the previous disabled setting. |
