Subculture specialist developer GentleManiac rolled out a fresh content update on October 22 for its self-developed and published mobile strategy SRPG, Horizon Walker. The latest patch introduces a brand new character named Mok Yeong-yeong, a Halloween event story, and a thorough revamp of the character progression system known as 'Stigma'.

The newly unveiled character, Mok Yeong-yeong, operates as an agent under the Rift Management Bureau's Classified Information Protection Division. Despite a youthful appearance, Mok Yeong-yeong boasts a long history of field experience and struggles fiercely to prevent the consolidation and dissolution of the division. You can explore various narrative arcs through the Halloween event and affinity stories. Furthermore, a dedicated succubus-themed costume for Mok Yeong-yeong has dropped alongside the update. This cosmetic not only alters the character's visual design but also changes weapon appearances and voice lines within affinity content to fit different situations, all obtainable via the season pass.

This update also brings the Halloween event titled 'Night of Lies: Trick or Twin' to the table, centering its plot around Mok Yeong-yeong. Alongside this narrative addition, the 'Stigma' character growth system received a major overhaul. By introducing 'grades' to existing Stigma items, you can now acquire higher-tier Stigmas and equip them to boost your characters far beyond previous limits.

GentleManiac CEO Lee Tae-woong stated, "This update focuses on letting you experience the charm of our new character Mok Yeong-yeong across various contents." Lee Tae-woong added, "We revamped the Stigma system so you can continually tackle challenges using the characters you hold dear, and we are doing our utmost to let you soak in the Halloween atmosphere right inside Horizon Walker."

Horizon Walker is currently live across multiple global gaming platforms, including Google Play, Apple App Store, and One Store. GentleManiac plans to continuously expand character content and progression systems to solidify its presence in the subculture gaming market.
