Neptune is celebrating six months since the official launch of its squad RPG, Erpis, with a special event running until September 10. The game distinguishes itself with a strategic combat system allowing for squads of up to eight characters, alongside a narrative that shifts based on the choices players make.

The half-anniversary festivities are split into two acts, introducing a new limited character, Renisia, a new Guardian, and seven fresh swimsuit costumes. Neptune is also offering enough resources for up to 280 pulls, plus a hefty stash of character progression materials and community-focused events.

Act 1, dubbed 'Prelude of Summer', runs until August 19 and is aimed at supporting the growth of new players. Every player who signs up will receive a 'Welcome Package' packed with goodies, including the 5-star character Ghost Samurai, 'Shadow of Fate', 'Shadow of Miracle', Experience Stones, and Gold. Players can also snag daily login rewards, tackle summer boss encounters for extra loot, and earn the commemorative 'Anesi School Uniform' costume.

The main event, 'Midsummer Rendezvous' (Act 2), takes over from August 20 to September 10. During this window, all players—new and old—will be gifted the core 5-star character, Rust. Neptune is also offering 5-star awakening fragments and Opal via login bonuses and mail gifts. Players can farm up to 5,600 Opals in the firework event or take advantage of the 'Hunting Festival', which doubles the drop rate for supplies and badges.

Kwon Seung-hyun, head of Neptune's Game Business Division, remarked, "We prepared these varied benefits and events as a token of gratitude for the players who have cherished Erpis over the last six months. The team remains committed to reflecting user feedback in future updates and ensuring a stable service to provide a high-quality gameplay experience."
