Hello, this is Xenon, the PD of Grand Saga IDLE: KNIGHTS X KNIGHTS.

Captains, how's the past week been for you?

It's hard to believe how much time has passed since we first greeted you in the first week of June.

Your constructive feedback and suggestions always energize us.

We have prepared a developer note for the last week of June,

let's dive right in.

1. Stage

Chapter 2 finally begins! 

Watch the video for a first look at the trials ahead.

We've taken your feedback to the forefront  and we're planning a rapid rollout of 3,600 stages in July.  

Please refer to the estimated timeline below. 

• Round 1: July 1 
• Round 2: July 11th 
• Round 3: July 25th 

Please note that we will continue to release a large number of stages after July, 

with the goal of quickly releasing a large number of stages for each concept. 

2. Added Stage Passes 7 and 8

Added Ring Chests to the existing Diamond, Artifact, and Normal Summons. 

3. Emergence of the New Elemental King!

A new challenge will be held on July 11th.

The Elemental King who has come to test the captains who overcame the trial of the Water Elemental King, is ‘Dione’.

Look forward to new trials and stages.

It feels like powerful long-range dealers based on the wind attribute will play a significant role.

Overcome the challenge with various combinations and strategy.

4. New Event

A refreshing event will be held to welcome the hot summer.

From July 25th through August, you can acquire summer hideouts and special costumes through events in special stages and dungeons.

Additionally, several heroes will appear in new forms.

Here's a hint about which heroes they might be. 

Look forward to seeing if it's the heroes you were hoping for.

5. Tower of Trials

Scheduled for update in July

The Tower of Trials is designed to enhance the fun of deck building by using the attributes.

Beyond simple rewards, it will also provide the enjoyment of growth by strengthening each attribute deck.
