Dev Diary — June 2025
It's been a while — time to catch up and share some fresh news and plans. Today, we’re here to talk about version 1.42, which will become available soon. We’ll also give you a sneak peek at what’s coming in version 1.43. But first — let’s take a moment to look back at what we’ve already accomplished over the past few months:
- Email Linking — Receive exclusive promo codes and important news directly to your inbox.
- Discord Account Linking — We regularly run polls and gather feedback on our Discord server. Linking your account will make this process even more accurate.
- Faction Wars Shop — A great way to collect powerful sets faster for progressing through story chapters and events.
- In-game Surveys — Now you can share your thoughts on the game without ever leaving it. Interfaces, mechanics, overall experience — your feedback and ideas matter to us.
- Event Calendars — We’ve started sharing a monthly in-game event calendar so you won’t miss a thing.
And that’s not all! We’re actively working to improve the overall gameplay experience, expand social features, and develop new content. The next version is just around the corner — and here’s what we’re planning to include in it.
What’s coming in version 1.42
Item Comparison
We're planning to add a feature that lets you compare shop gear with your currently equipped items — and even with your best gear. This will help you avoid unnecessary purchases and make it easier to choose what’s worth taking into battle.
Shadow Pass Improvement
Missed a day and lost a valuable reward? We know the feeling — and we’re fixing it!
From now on, when you purchase the Shadow Pass, you’ll receive not only all upcoming daily rewards but also ALL Premium rewards from the days you missed. No more losses — just maximum value!
Bonus Reward
Sometimes you're just one step away from victory…
In the new version, even in battles you lose, you’ll still have a chance to earn a bonus reward — truly useful and relevant items to support your progress.
Faction Wars Rewards Collection
The wait is over — you will be able to claim ALL uncollected rewards from Faction Wars with a single tap!
Imperial beat
Despite having some powerful sets, the Dynasty faction remains one of the least popular among players. One key reason is the underwhelming faction bonus — Imperial beat. We’re currently working on a complete rework of this bonus to restore the strength and appeal of the faction. Expect the reborn Dynasty to rise again very soon.
Let’s Make Dynasty Great Again!
Combat Improvements
We’ve also noticed that battles have become a bit repetitive, even when using different sets. Our team is already working on restoring the uniqueness of each fighting style. You’ll start feeling the first changes very soon.
1.43
Besides the upcoming updates, we’re actively working on version 1.43 — it will introduce a completely new gameplay mechanic for SF3, which we just started teasing in previous digests. Got any guesses? Share them in the comments!
If all goes according to plan, the update will be released in early autumn.
That’s all for today. Soon, we plan to launch a series of polls about your favorite items and sets. Also, our now-traditional event calendar is being prepared for release, so don’t miss out — stay tuned to our social channels!
Stay tuned!
