Summer-themed skins are also planned for Ophelia and Jiwon.
Version 1.3 Systems and Convenience Changes
The recap confirms several system updates coming with Version 1.3:
- Dimensional Rift reward multipliers — rewards scale based on the number of Dimensional Rift Tickets consumed.
- Instant Request completion — completed Requests can be turned in immediately without returning to the Assembly Hall receptionist.
- Conquest Ranking System — a new ranking feature is being prepared for Conquest, with the team considering a way to inspect top-ranked Divers’ Monsterling and character setups. This is not yet finalized.

- Additional new content — more content is in development for Version 1.3; details will be shared when ready.
Future Character Preview: Brisshell
A future character, Brisshell, was teased ahead of her release. She is an Earth / Assassin and was selected through a player popularity vote. She will not be in the July 28 update, but is planned for a future patch.
PD Segment: Development Focus Going Forward
The production director noted that through Version 1.2, the team prioritized fixing inconveniences and improving Monsterling crafting balance. With many of those issues resolved, they are now reviewing new content additions and preparing story-related improvements.
