Tower of Fantasy has released its latest version 4.4 update, titled "Reality in Restraint," which introduces a new set of content additions, including a new playable zone, storyline progression, and the return of the Evangelion collaboration. The update adds a fresh zone called the Indoor Zone within Network’s World, where players can explore new areas and encounter the latest main story quest, “Reshape the Future: Aida Blue.” This storyline involves a sequence where the protagonist faces challenges set by Asurada, the newly introduced simulacrum, and the story uncovers new conflicts centered around a potential reshaping of reality.
The update also brings several gameplay features and challenges. Asurada, the new simulacrum character, arrives with his weapon, Hellfire, and his role includes triggering events in the main storyline. Players can utilize the new Simulacrum Roaming feature, allowing them to send their simulacra on explorations for various rewards that increase based on map traits and exploration levels. Additionally, the update features a new world boss, Defender: Gunner, and a permanent challenge instance, Final Trial. Other challenges include the new level 97 boss, Darkness: Merbelle, available in Evolution Vanguard, and new levels for the Sequential Phantasm Boundless Realm.
For returning players or those interested in the Evangelion collaboration, the update reintroduces items such as the Asuka and Rei simulacra, along with other themed items from the original event. In addition to these content expansions, several quality-of-life adjustments have been made, such as a story skip feature after the Companion mission and new interactive games within Network’s World, including Detective X’s Investigation and Battle Simulator. This series of additions and adjustments rounds out version 4.4, giving players a mix of fresh and revisited content to explore.
