Yostar announced on August 20 that the Stella Sora 1st anniversary festival has officially kicked off. Alongside this celebration, the update introduces a brand new limited 5-star traveler, Seina (Origin), a special main story epilogue chapter, and fresh permanent content.

The new limited 5-star traveler Seina (Origin) steps into the fray as a light-attribute dealer, wielding the longsword 'Dawn' and the greatsword 'Twilight' as a versatile warrior. Seina can be recruited with a boosted drop rate during the limited-time 'Sword of Fated Encounter' recruitment event. Concurrently, Yostar is running the 'Will Embodied at the Blade's Edge' record recruitment event, temporarily increasing the pull rates for the new limited 5-star record 'Morning Star Illuminating the Path'.

The update also unveils the special main story epilogue chapter 'Garden of Purity, Faint Dawn'. This narrative follows the Demon King waking up from a sorrow-filled dream, arriving alone at a massive castle, and setting out to find the missing companions. Additionally, permanent features such as 'Demon King's Tower Beta' and 'Stella Battler' are now live. 'Demon King's Tower Beta' allows players to freely decorate their owned Star Tower and camp, while 'Stella Battler' challenges players to tactically arrange and position travelers to take down formidable foes.

Meanwhile, Yostar has packed the 1st anniversary with plenty of goodies for the player base. By logging in during the 'Footsteps of the Stars: Reunion of Destinies' special recruitment event period, players can snag up to 100 'Limited Reunion Bond Tickets'. Hitting designated cumulative recruitment milestones will also reward players with various bundles, including the 'Reunion Bond Legendary Record Selection Package' and the 'Reunion Bond Splendid History Selection Package'.

On top of that, a limited 1st-anniversary coffee truck event titled 'Chorok-i in Hongdae Energy Boost Operation' will roll out in front of the Hongik Ingan Building in Hongdae from August 24 to August 25, followed by a 1st-anniversary pop-up store operating at AK Plaza in Hongdae for three days from October 23 to October 25.

Yostar shared a heartfelt message: "Over the past year of journeying through the stars, every single encounter and adventure shone all the more brilliantly thanks to the companionship of the players. We hope to keep writing our own shining memories together in the journeys yet to come."
