On July 8, 'V4' hosted a developer live session, 'Night Meeting,' on its official YouTube channel. Producer 'Han Ki-hyun' stepped up to unveil the update roadmap through September and details on the Red Moon Festa. The broadcast was concise but packed with heavy intel, teasing new competitive content and a special stage to crown the ultimate clan. Let's dive into the core details right away.

Q3 Monthly Update Roadmap, the Highlight is the Clan Championship

The first item on the agenda was the update roadmap. For the remainder of July, the developer is preparing Followers and Clan Occupation Battles. Followers offer various buffs in combat. The concept involves creating and nurturing vampire worshippers through blood bonds, and extracting high-purity blood for growth.Clan Occupation Battles are seasonal content. All clans across the server participate, competing in 1vs1 skirmishes for a set period.

August will bring new elite dungeons, artifacts, and accessories, along with the introduction of a new growth system called 'Familiars.' Elite dungeons are the go-to for gathering new artifact materials and accessories. You can think of Familiars as pets that follow your character, boosting stats and assisting in battle through unique skills. There is also an expedition feature in the works to earn rewards.In September, the developer intends to add 5 vs 5 party battlefields. Dedicated skills for these battlefields are also coming to inject more strategy and fun.

The headline news is the September Clan Championship. It is a stage to prove the trust, strategy, and skill built with clan members. The final winning clan will be granted the honor of being the strongest, along with special visual rewards and various benefits. Participation applications will open in late August for the Korea region and in September for the Global region, with detailed methods, schedules, and operational rules to be announced separately later.

Special Event Red Moon Festa and the Japan Region Opening

V4 kicked off pre-registration for the new Global 2 region and the Red Moon Festa at 12 PM on July 8, and the developer live stream provided detailed info on the festivities.

The slogan for the Red Moon Festa is 'A special festival for everyone, from those who have been with us since launch to returning successors.' Let's check the rewards first. Reflecting user feedback, the 'V4' T-shirt has been crafted as a special cosmetic. Various other items are on offer, including a Tier 2 Hero Gear Selection Box, a Special Accessory Box, and the Red Moon Festa Box containing special rewards. Furthermore, a special event offering over 550 total summons for Appearances/Mounts, plus re-synthesis tickets, is in the works.

At noon on July 22, the Japan region will open alongside the Global 2 region. Following Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, players from Japan will now join the fray to compete and cooperate. Servers will be segmented to host competitions between 'Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau,' 'Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Japan,' and 'Korea and Japan.' The marketplace will operate as an integrated system, aiming for a vibrant and stable economic environment.

You can pre-register for Global 2 on the official V4 website. Participants will receive 100 million gold, a mount, and other items to help get the game started more smoothly. Check the official community announcement for a full breakdown of rewards and perks.

Live Q&A: When is the next Class Change?

Once the content and development status updates concluded, a live Q&A followed. The first topic was Class Change, a frequent query on the V4 official community boards. Producer Han apologized for failing to provide the feature in June and confirmed it is currently under preparation. It is planned for the 3rd week of July, so hold tight.

There was also feedback requesting that the job change cost be made free. The director stated they are continuously lowering the costs to reduce the burden and adjusting the balance accordingly. The 3rd week of July update will include further cost reductions to ease the load.

Questions about new jobs also surfaced multiple times. The core answer is this: a new class is currently in the development phase, but the team prioritized other content first. The developer plans to announce it once more details are ready to be shared. Regarding a 'new ranged job,' a clearer picture has emerged; as the most recent class released for V4 was the melee job 'Akasha,' the director mentioned they are considering a ranged form for the next one.

A sharp question was also raised: 'Can I change my skill cards when I change classes?' You can rest easy on that one. It will be possible to swap them during the class change scheduled for the 3rd week of July. The sheer volume of questions regarding job balance and changes clearly shows how deeply invested the players are.

Additionally, regarding restoration tickets, since it hasn't been long since the last event, the team decided to prioritize the re-synthesis tickets mentioned earlier.For duplicate Legend Sephira, the solution will be to increase the number of item consumption sinks. Regarding the launch of new maps, the director replied, 'It is planned for the second half of the year, and we will share the timing once preparations are complete.'
