Hello, Overlords! The first update within the Anniversary Festival is coming next week, and it's time to tell you about what it's going to bring to the game. This update will be aimed at improving the player's experience from the main story, so most of the changes will affect it.
The story has been reworked. We've studied the user experience and changed the game's story and the tutorial to make the first introduction to the game more convenient and player-friendly. With the update, the story progress will be wiped for all players. But worry not - all your resources, buildings, empathy progression and girls will stay with you!
New empathy level and matriarchs' story expansion. All main matriarchs will receive a 5th empathy level and a corresponding memory scene, their personal stories will be expanded. Also, there'll be a new building added to the Overlord's castle called Shrine – you'll have to build it in order to get access to the matriarchs' memories.
Battle girls' equipment. We plan on making the battles in Overlewd more challenging and interesting. When this process is over, the Overlord's team will become more important. This means battle girls will be in dire need of some new equipment. With this update, each class will receive a unique set of armor, so all girls will now have 6 slots for equipment (5 armor pieces and a weapon), same as Overlord.
Nonlinearity in the main plot completion - each story chapter now has 2 side battles. These battles will be used for some additional quests and for navigating players through the story.
A Special monthly daily login calendar will be added to the game along with the update. It will contain a lot of juicy rewards, so be sure not to miss it!
Tokyo Babefest event will be prolonged for the duration of the Festival. We plan on working on it and implementing some changes with the third update.
