Stella Sora’s Version 1.13 summer patch is now live. The update adds the new Aqua banner Suntide Willow, a matching Aqua Runic Disc, a full batch of beach-themed events, login rewards, and several permanent system additions. It also requires a mandatory client update, so make sure you download the new app before logging back in.
Maintenance Window & Compensation
The update maintenance ran from Jul. 20, 2026 20:00 to Jul. 21, 2026 02:00 (UTC-7). Because this is a mandatory client update, the old app/client cannot access the game after maintenance ends.
Eligible players who had registered and created a character before the maintenance began will receive compensation by in-game mail:
- Stellanite Dust ×450
- Bottled Vigor Soda ×1
The mail will be sent within one hour after maintenance ends and is valid until Jul. 27, 2026 12:59 (UTC-7). The Vigor Soda itself expires at 12:59 on the Monday of the second week after you claim it.
