Hello, this is the Brave Nine Team!
We've prepared the Developer Notes for December 2023.
Some of the screenshots of the new features we are introducing in this month's Developer Notes are in Korean. This is because they are either still being developed or localized for the Global update.
Thank you for your understanding.
■ New Companion
1 New Companion will be added.
Here is their brief background story and illustration.
Wester's Companion 'Lirika'
The power of death that Wetser had absorbed.
This power is one of the Ancient Magic that went far beyond just being a magic. The magic itself had thought and personality like a living being.
It managed to manifest itself into a human form and gotten to the point where it can communicate with Wester without problem.
「Hmm... I wonder if it'll die if I do this.」
Wester will be renewed so that he will use Decomposition skills as well as summoning 'Black Knight of Ruin'.
■ Shop Renewal
Shop UI will be renewed so that it will be easier to view the available products.
Some of the packages from 'Gifts & Pack' that were always available will be moved to the Shop menu.
With the Shop Renewal, we are looking into improving some of the products' cost efficiency.
Here are the images of the new Shop UI.
■ Temple of Guardians Official Launch
Temple of Guardians will officially launch after the 2 BETA Seasons.
We are grateful to all the Captains who passionately participated in the Temple of Guardians during the BETA period.
Here's how Temple of Guardians will work.

To welcome the end of 2023, a new mini game with Rudolf 'Yuridori' will be available.

■ Director's Letter
We would like to show our sincerest gratitude towards all our Captains who have been with us during the year of 2023.
Many things happened this year, but with the support of our Captains who kept cheering for us, we were able to make this this far.
Looking back at the Roadmap that we revealed last year, we cannot say that we were able to stick to the initial plans.
While we did our best to keep the promised updates, there were some that we could not accomplish and we apologize for that.
We have been making small but important Quality of Life improvements recently.
With these improvements, we would like 2024 to be a year where our Captains can play the game with more ease and comfort so that they can focus solely on the various strategies.
The first of these steps will be revealed on the January of 2024.
More detailed information will be available in the near future during the end-of-the-year announcement regarding the 2024 roadmap.
We will do our best to provide a fun gameplay experience next year as well.
Thank you.
