NEOWIZ announced on the 29th that it has rolled out the Clear Pass Season 18 update for DJMAX RESPECT V. This update focuses on adding fresh content and a complete overhaul of one of the game's core features, the AIR mode.

First off, those who grab the Premium Ticket will unlock the new track 'RYOQUCHA - DATAMOSH++'. You can find this in the Clear Pass+ category, which also bundles in season-exclusive UI skins, gears, and note themes. For high-difficulty enthusiasts, there are 76 new SC patterns to tackle. On the house, everyone gets the new track 'seatrus - alliance' alongside a hidden background animation.

The AIR mode has received a makeover, too. It now functions more like channel surfing, letting you jump between various content types with ease. Two new playable pieces of content utilizing the DJMAX IP have been dropped here as well, while your usual hangout for real-time chat and gameplay remains available under 'Radio Max'.

As for the narrative expansion, we have a mini-game called 'Renatower Restoration Operation' where you control the character 'DIEIN' to stack a tower, and a visual novel titled 'Dear DIEIN - Beyond the Spotlight' that dives into the story of DIEIN after stepping away from the music scene. Both pieces of content explore the character's lore in depth and are available in Korean, English, and Japanese.

To celebrate the launch, NEOWIZ is gifting a special DIEIN character mouse cursor to everyone who logs in starting from noon on the 29th. Additionally, there is a 10 percent discount on both the 'Season 18 Premium Ticket' and 'Booster' running for one week.

A representative from NEOWIZ stated, "This update is designed not only to bolster our Clear Pass content but also to let players experience our game world in a more three-dimensional way through the AIR mode revamp," adding, "We remain committed to expanding the narrative and fun of our IP, going beyond simple rhythm action."
