Dreamage and developer Aquatree have released a major update for the MMORPG 'Architect: Land of Exile', strengthening large-scale competitive content and character progression systems. The update introduces the new 'Abyss Fortress Siege' content and a 'Resonance' growth system, alongside various Lunar New Year events.

The core update, 'Abyss Fortress Siege', is a large-scale PvP mode where top-tier clans compete within the 'Abyss Battlefield' based on server dynamics. The winning clan receives a significant amount of Diamonds accumulated from the server marketplace. Prior to the siege, players can participate in the 'Sentinel Skirmish'. Clans that land the final blow on an 'Abyss Sentinel' gain ownership of it. These Sentinels provide buffs during combat, and each clan can own up to three.

The new 'Resonance' growth system features a tiered structure progressing through 'Abyss Traces', 'Abyss Fragments', and 'Abyss Forms'. Attempting resonance activates a random node; if an already active node is selected, its star level increases. Once all nodes in a line are activated, the next tier opens. Since performance at each stage is determined by the lowest-ranked node of the previous stage, balanced growth is essential. All options provide fixed stat values.

To celebrate the update and the Lunar New Year, various rewards are available. Clans that hold a Sentinel after the first skirmish will receive items such as a '4-Star Low-Grade Blueprint Selection Box'. The first clan to win the Abyss Fortress Siege will receive additional Diamonds and an exclusive item that provides stat bonuses via the collection system. Additionally, from February 11 to February 25, players can earn Gold, Resonance Amplification Cores, Istarium, Abyss Resonance Bodies, and 3-Star Mid-Grade Blueprint Selection Boxes based on their resonance attempts and node completion counts.

From February 11 to March 4, daily logins will reward players with Lunar New Year money envelopes, high-grade costume/phantom weapon boxes, and 4-star blueprint fragment selection boxes. Furthermore, players who log in at specific times between February 16 and February 18 will receive Lunar New Year selection boxes, money envelopes, and Giant's Enhancement Stone selection boxes. Additionally, from February 11 to February 25, participating in 'Great Flood' boss battles will grant money envelopes, with tiered rewards based on server progress. Players who participate in 'Tesseract' battles, defeat field bosses, or clear rifts will also receive Lunar New Year selection boxes.
