March 12, 2026, Update Announcement

Navigator,

This monthly version update will use [No-Downtime Maintenance].

During maintenance, you can still log in normally and join matches, but the server may experience brief fluctuations. Thank you for your understanding.

After maintenance ends, the system will prompt you to [Update Game]. Follow the instructions to update your client to the latest version, then log in again to enjoy the new content.

If you're in a match when maintenance finishes, you'll receive the [Update Prompt] after the match ends. Your gameplay won't be affected.

If you exit the game before maintenance ends and click [Update] afterward, you may not be able to reconnect to your original match. Please plan your playtime carefully to avoid disrupting matches.

Maintenance duration may change based on actual conditions. If an extension is needed, we'll notify you in advance. Thank you for your support!
