Tower of Fantasy’s version 4.4, Reality in Restraint, is live, adding a new zone, new simulacrum, a new main story quest, and the return of the Evangelion collaboration for a limited time.
The newest main story progresses further into the Network, and the new zone is Indoor Zone within Network's World. “Reshape the Future: Aida Blue” is the new main story quest and it follows being caught in a trap set by Asurada (who is also the newest simulacrum). Things get dire when, after falling into the trap, there are not only Aberrants, but a plot to reshape reality is uncovered. Now, action must be taken.
Asurada is the new simulacrum in this update, and he comes with his weapon, Hellfire. With his arrival and the mysteries he brings to the table, along with his skills, his previous involvement in getting you trapped in the first place seems like quite the introduction.
This update adds a new feature, Simulacrum Roaming. When you set up roaming, you send your simulacra to explore, where it will even help you earn rewards. Simulacra will have map traits and the degree of map exploration, so the more you use this feature, the better they get and the more rewarding the experience.
The update also adds a new world boss, Defender: Gunner and a new permanent challenge instance: Final Trial. Other challenges opening up with today’s update include a new level 97 boss, Darkness: Merbelle added to Evolution Vanguard, and new levels added to Sequential Phantasm Boundless Realm. New seasons begin for Sequential Phantasm, Frontier Clash, and Void Abyss.
If you missed adding some of the Tower of Fantasy x Evangelion collaboration items to your collection, like Asuka and Rei simulacra, Pen Pen, and outfits, they’re available again for one last run.
There are a few improvements added this round, including a story skip feature that pops up after you complete the Companion mission. Network’s World gets a few new interactive games: Detective X’s Investigation, Battle Simulator, Laser Predicament, and Survival Battle.
The patch notes detail all of the changes, along with the series of events that offer rewarding experiences to accompany the newest chapter.
