The update brings the live service from closed and open beta into the launch build that ships across PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android.

88 Version 1.0 introduces the full 17-Esper roster, the Hethereau open world with six named regions, the launch lineup of 13 world bosses, the Anomaly Pilgrimage weekly endgame mode, the launch banner pair anchored by Nanally and Hotori, and the Twitch Drops launch promotion.

2020 Banner Schedule
2121  
2222  
2323 The Version 1.0 Banners page tracks the rotating limited banners. The 1.0 patch cycle plays out across two phases.
2424  
2525 PhaseBannerFeaturedWindowPhase 1The Ichi-DaimeNanallyApr 29, 2026 - May 13, 2026Phase 2Misty Tipsy StyleHotoriMay 13, 2026 - Jun 3, 2026
2626 Both phases use the Scarborough Fair board-game gacha mechanic. Featured S-Class characters are guaranteed at the soft pity threshold without a 50/50 coin flip, and pity carries over between character banners.
2727  
2828 Arcs and Weapon System
2929  
3030 More than 40 new Arcs launch with the build. Arcs are the game's transforming weapon system: each Arc binds to a specific element and has its own moveset, level cap, and refinement tree. The launch lineup includes signature Arcs for every playable Esper plus a wider rotation of standard-pool drops.
3131  
3232 Notable launch Arcs include Blow Up the Crowd, Eternal Waltz, The Last Rose, Stellar Veil, Marching Beyond Time, and the Tiger Special promotional Arc. Arc upgrade materials drop from Anomaly Commissions and the weekly Anomaly Pilgrimage encounters.
3333  
3434 World Bosses
3535  
3636 Thirteen world bosses are deployable across the open world at launch. The Bosses index covers each encounter, weakness, and reward, while the Anomalies overview explains the broader anomaly classification system.

3939 Anomaly Pilgrimage
4040  
4141 The Anomaly Pilgrimage weekly endgame mode launches alongside Version 1.0. Players spend Character Pixels to challenge a rotating roster of weekly bosses, with up to three reward claims per week. Drops include materials used to enhance Esper Abilities. The two launch encounters are Morphix at Green Wall Slope in Bridge Crossings and The Never-Ending Arachne at Talin Avenue.
4242  
4343 Vehicles and Customization
4444  
4545 Eighteen vehicles ship at launch across street cars, sport bikes, and special-event variants. The full list lives on the Vehicles index. Vehicle livery and customization options unlock through the Vehicle Customization system. The launch collaboration with Porsche brings the 918 Spyder into the rotation as a paid skin.
4646  
4747 Cartridges and Modules
4848  
4949 Esper loadouts use two equipment systems. Cartridges come in 14 elemental sets, while Modules come in 12 console-style configurations. Both systems gate at Hunter Level thresholds and feed into the broader Progression Systems loop.
5050  
5151 Items, Materials, and Furniture
5252  
5353 Over 100 materials, currencies, and consumables enter the database with launch, plus more than 200 furniture pieces for the Housing System. Notable additions include the Anomaly Pilgrimage Material Selection Box, Hunter Guides tiered for level acceleration, and the dye family covering Light Dye, Colorless Dye, and Chaotic Dye for vehicle and outfit customization.
5454  
5555 World Map and Interactive Map
5656  
5757 The full World Map of Hethereau opens at launch, divided into six named regions. The launch update tags 3,280 markers across the open world, with 114 fast-travel points distributed across ReroRero Phone Booths and Wertheimer Towers.

6161  
6262 The Cooking mini-game launches with a full recipe roster.

7070 Cooperative Multiplayer
7171  
7272 Anomaly Dungeons such as The Bank and The Hospital support cross-platform co-op at launch. The Pink Paws Heist infiltration mission scales to a team of four with equalized stats so progression differences do not gate group play. PC, Mac, PS5, iOS, and Android players share the same servers and party freely across platforms thanks to Cross-Platform Play and Cross-Save.
7373  
7474 Crime and Wanted System
7575  
7676 The Crime and Wanted System turns optional troublemaking into emergent gameplay. Stealing vehicles, attacking civilians, or driving recklessly raises the player's wanted level and triggers police pursuit. Captured players can either serve out a sentence or stage a jailbreak through the Prison System.
7777  
7878 Engine and Technical Improvements
7979  
8080 The launch build runs on Unreal Engine 5.7, an upgrade from earlier beta builds. PC supports full ray tracing, path tracing, NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation, and Lumen global illumination. PS5 Pro receives dedicated enhancements covering frame-rate, resolution, and DualSense haptic feedback. Mobile clients ship at high settings on flagship hardware with auto-scaling for older devices.
8181  
8282 Music Collaborations
8383  
8484 Three Music Collaborations debut alongside the launch build. Persona 5 Royal contributes Beneath the Mask -rain- and Life Will Change. Persona 5: The Phantom X contributes Wake Up Your Hero and additional tracks. Both partner soundtracks play through the in-game Walkman and in-car radio. A separate collaboration covers tracks from another partner soundtrack catalog.
8585  
8686 Twitch Drops Launch Event
8787  
8888 The Twitch Drops launch promotion runs from Apr 29, 2026 to May 13, 2026. Six rewards unlock at watch-time tiers from 15 minutes to 2.5 hours total, covering Beetle Coins, Annulith, Chaotic Dye, De-Noise Solution, Elite Hunter Guide, and Manhole Boss. Drops are linked through the official Twitch campaign page and claimed in the in-game mailbox after a Twitch account link.
8989  
9090 Pre-Registration Rewards
9191  
9292 The Pre-Registration Rewards milestone tiers unlock at launch for every account that pre-registered before global open. The 30 million milestone delivers the free A-Class Esper Haniel, and the campaign reached 35 million pre-registrations by launch day, unlocking every threshold. Combined with the launch reward bundles, returning beta players had access to roughly 470 free pulls before spending real money.
9393  
9494 Launch Codes
9595  
9696 Launch-window Redeem Codes are distributed through the official YouTube broadcast, the official X account, the Discord, and partnered creator channels. The launch slate covers Annulith, Beetle Coins, dyes, and Hunter Guides, each redeemable through the in-game mail interface.
9797  
9898 Region and Server Coverage
9999  
100100 Global launch covers Americas, Europe, Asia, and Southeast Asia regions on a unified service mesh. Mainland China runs on a separate client and account pool with its own patch cadence, banner schedule, and code prefix (YH). The Regional Servers and Launch FAQ pages cover account separation in detail.
101101  
102102 Post-Launch Updates
103103  
104104 Two minor updates have shipped between the launch build and the upcoming May 13 mid-cycle maintenance. Each is documented inline below; the Patch Notes hub indexes them alongside the May 1 May 1 Hotfix and earlier launch entries.
105105  
106106 May 5, 2026 Client Update (v1.0.11)
107107  
108108 On May 5, 2026 a roughly 470 MB minor client patch lifted the build from v1.0.9 to v1.0.11. The patch shipped without a public detailed change list and required only a brief client restart on every supported platform.
109109  
110110 May 7, 2026 Client Update
111111  
112112 On May 7, 2026 a client update reworked two in-game assets following a developer review. The two named assets are the "Clear Skies in Summer" poster and the Pink Paws Heist mission cinematic. The accompanying developer statement said AI-assisted tools were used on a small number of background and environmental assets, not on character or story content. The rework's in-build deployment will land with a future client update.
113113  
114114 Letter from Hethereau Mail Reward
115115  
116116 Following the May 7 statement, a Letter from Hethereau in-game mail will be sent after the May 13, 2026 maintenance to every account that created a character and unlocked the in-game mail interface before the v1.0 cycle ends. The letter delivers 10 Fabricated Dice redeemable on any current banner. No additional eligibility steps are required.
117117  
118118 Known Day-One Issues
119119  
120120 Server load on launch day produced queue waits during peak Asia-region hours, and the Mainland China open beta a week prior also reported a launch-day login bottleneck. Both clients stabilized within hours, and post-launch follow-up patches address the remaining matchmaking and client-update issues. The Launch FAQ tracks the running list of acknowledged bugs and workarounds. Scheduled patch notes will appear on the Patch Notes hub.
121121  
122122 Tips for New Players
123123  
124124 Complete the prologue to unlock the in-game mail and the redeem-code interface, then claim launch codes immediately while they are valid.Pre-registration milestone rewards are claimed automatically through the in-game mailbox once the player reaches the in-game checkpoint that opens the mail UI.Save Solid Dice and Fabricated Dice for the limited banners; the standard pool refreshes every patch but limited windows close at the end of each phase.Anomaly Pilgrimage attempts reset weekly. Run them once your team has at least one S-Class Esper at level 40 or higher to maximize material yield.Twitch Drops run on cumulative watch time across any participating channel, not per stream, so background-watching catalog content qualifies for credit.
125125  
126126 May 19, 2026 Hotfix
127127  
128128 A mid-Phase 2 hotfix on May 19, 2026 (06:00 UTC) addressed multiplayer model glitches in Pink Paws Heist, several quest progression blockers (Zero's Companion, Beyond the Rails, Focused Bird Enthusiast), Jiuyuan Ultimate triggering Pact Settlement incorrectly, the Bopp Anomaly boss getting stuck in phase two, multiple housing and furniture fixes, and improved localization including the unified Condensate, Hybrid, and Synthesis Arc-type naming.
129129  
130130 May 21, 2026 Hotfix
131131  
132132 Two days later, on May 21, 2026 at 14:00 UTC+8, a second hotfix landed with ten fixes. The headline fixes were a Trapped in the Maze story-quest crash, an Exploration Guide Level 10 reward distribution bug (affected players were compensated with Fabricated Dice x2), a racing mini-game exploit, Mint model animation clipping, and a controller Y-button Ultimate failure. See the patch notes for the full list.

138138 Version 1.0 Phase 2. May 13, 2026
139139  
140140 The Phase 2 update launched the Misty Tipsy Style limited board featuring Hotori (S-Class Cosmos) through June 3, 2026 at 05:59 AM (UTC+8). The Marching Beyond Time S-Class Arc is concurrently obtainable through the Arc Research Program for the same window.
141141  
142142 Two new limited events shipped: Zero's Companion (May 13 to May 27 at 04:59 AM UTC+8) and Whisker Patrol (May 27 at 12:00 PM to June 3 at 04:59 AM UTC+8), both rewarding Annulith and resources. The Hourglass Perks event runs alongside the Hotori window with outfit rewards.
143143  
144144 The May 13 patch also reworked Pink Paws Heist extraction so 6 extraction points activate at random at match start and stay open throughout, instead of closing as the match progressed. Hotori received Bond interactions, City Hangouts, and text-message conversations. Photo Mode added a borderless frame option, multiplayer added a Recommended Players list to the party finder, and Owner's Selection difficulty was eased. All eligible players received 300 Annulith maintenance compensation plus 10 standard pulls.

146146 May 19, 2026 Hotfix
147147  
148148 A mid-cycle hotfix deployed on May 19, 2026 at 06:00 UTC during the Phase 2 window. It applied with a brief restart and no full client download. Combat fixes included Jiuyuan's Ultimate (Final Reckoning) no longer triggering the Pact Settlement effect incorrectly, the Break Resistance effect of Redirect Skills no longer failing to activate, a glider deployment fix, and a buff-activation fix in Beyond the Rails High-Risk Commissions. The Pink Paws Heist lighting was brightened and a model glitch when teammates touched the lasers was fixed. Boss fixes covered the Bopp Anomaly boss getting stuck in walls during phase two and the mobile boss health bar disappearing during the Headless Rider Anomaly Hunt. Event fixes resolved a Zero's Companion block when a trial character was set as your companion, plus quest-progression and notification-badge corrections. A batch of housing and furniture fixes addressed wall placement for the Regalia Griffin and Griffin Volante, the Old Mailbox Anomaly furniture, bed clipping in the Wiener Apartments, and Home Performance Stage drums. The patch also standardized the Arc type naming for the Condensate, Hybrid, and Synthesis terminology, improved localization across several languages, and reduced occasional crashes.
