Dev Blog丨Visional Wheel S4 "Gravity Abyss" Coming Soon

Dear Metas,

The shadow of Aberrant Progeny is fading, yet the skies of Nalcott have never truly known peace. The laws of gravity are being quietly torn asunder, and a behemoth from the abyss has set its gaze upon this land. The Visional Wheel turns once more. Are you prepared to seek your own answers in the weightless sky? The all-new Visional Wheel S4, "Gravity Abyss," is about to begin.

Visional Wheel S4: Gravity Abyss

In the sky, a massive rift is slowly tearing open: an omen of the Riftwalker‘s descent. This behemoth soaring through the skies warps the surrounding gravitational field, twisting the physical laws of the world below. Regions of gravitational imbalance, like breaths from the abyss, drag everything toward the sky. Metas call this phenomenon the "Gravity Abyss"—a place without falling, only endless ascent, and the unknown dangers waiting at its peak. In this Vision, Metas will clash fiercely over the Riftwalker.

Duration:

Starts after the May 27(PT) Maintenance Update

Ending time TBC

Affected scenarios:

Manibus (excluding novice), Evolution's Call, Prismverse's Clash, The Way of Winter, Endless Dream, Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve

After the update, servers with Visional tags will automatically switch to S4 \[Gravity Abyss], concluding the \[Aberrant Progeny] vision. Related special items will no longer be produced.

New Game Modes

Gravity Imbalance

When the Vision begins, the inverted star emerge once more, and the Gravity Imbalance effect will envelop certain Stronghold regions. Metas can check the these locations through map pins. Explore the corresponding regions for a chance to obtain Mods, Gravity Crystals, and other rewards.

Riftwalker Relic

After the Vision begins, the Riftwalker will soar over the wilderness, scattering mysterious artifacts from the sky: Echoite Broken Relics and Riftwalker Relics. Their drop locations will be marked on the map, where Metas can head to contest them.

Riftwalker Relic offers substantial rewards but also presents greater challenges. Whenever a Meta approaches a Riftwalker Relic, elite enemies will be summoned, and the relic will begin to slowly ascend. Only by defeating the enemies will the relic's ascent stop. They contain generous rewards such as Mods, Morphed Deviations, and Abyssal Cores.

Aerial Hunt

Fifteen minutes after the Vision begins, the Riftwalker will traverse Nalcott, simultaneously appearing above three random Settlements on the map. The failed airship platform that once attempted to secure the Riftwalker will manifest above these Settlements. Metas can enter the platform for combat via the summoned portal, or directly teleport there by clicking the pins on the map.

The Riftwalker possesses multiple combat forms, requiring close coordination from Metas to defeat it. Metas who successfully overcome the Riftwalker's trial will receive even rarer rewards.

Gravity Integrator Game Mode

Metas can obtain the \[Gravity Integrator Formula] through this game mode, unlocking the tense and exciting Gravity Integrator challenge. The higher the Gravity Integrator ascends, the richer the rewards become.

Floating Building

Metas can obtain the \[Anti-Gravity Foundation Formula] in the wilderness. After learning the Formula, they can initiate Floating Building, and its construction consumes Gravity Crystals.

Weightless Item

Metas can obtain the \[Energy Raiser Formula] through wilderness exploration. After crafting it at the Supplies Workbench, it can be used in non-weightless regions to grant Weightless ability. The Energy Raiser only functions during the Vision's active period.

Game Mode Rewards

Abyssal Core

The Abyssal Core is a rare crystallization of the Riftwalker, with a chance to obtain it in the Riftwalker Relic and Aerial Hunt Game Modes. Abyssal Cores are categorized into three rarity tiers: Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. Higher rarity yields rarer rewards upon opening, which may include Shiny Mods, Abyssal Essence, high-Level Morphed Deviations, and other rare rewards.

Metas can also choose to consume varying amounts of Gravity Crystals to perform different levels of resonance. A deeper of level resonance has a chance of granting double rewards! Abyssal Cores can also be freely traded among players. Whether you opt for steady gain or take a bold gamble is entirely your choice.

Abyssal Essence

Abyssal Essence is an exclusive item that has a chance to drop from opening Abyssal Cores. After collecting Abyssal Essence, you can visit the Event - Visional Redemption - Redeem Shop to redeem precious rewards such as Lightforge Ingots, selected Shop Fashion/Furniture/Weapon Skins, Shiny Mods, top-tier Deviations, and more!

Morphed Deviation

In S4 \[Gravity Abyss], all Morphed Deviations and Mods from the Visional Wheel S1 will return. Additionally, we will introduce brand new Morphed Deviations, offering Metas a richer collection and customization experience.

This time, three brand new Morphed Deviations will be added: The Digby Boy - Gravity Abyss, Atomic Lighter - Gravity Abyss, and Zapamander - Gravity Abyss.

The Starfall Inversion Deviations from S1 will also return together, and Metas can obtain them through various Game Modes.

New Mods

S4 will introduce the new "Aero" Suffix Mod, while the Downstar Mod will return as well. The Downstar Mod provides a strong advantage when fighting across elevation differences, whereas the Aero Mod can be activated in any aerial state (including jumping), offering superior flexibility and stability. When acquired, these Mods let Metas select the one that suits their needs.

In this Vision campaign, we will also release Armor Shiny Mods for the first time, which Metas can obtain through the Abyssal Core.

New Event

Click the "Event Interface - Visional Wheel" page to participate in the current vision campaign. The following content will be available:

Gravity Abyss: Metas can learn about the basic rules for this Vision through this event.

Abyssal Collection: By collecting Gravity Crystals to earn Progress, you can obtain rare rewards such as Territory Collectibles.

Vision Collection: Collect all Visional Suffix Mods and Morphed Deviations to obtain rewards like Weapon Skins.

Visional Wheel World Optimization

Alongside this Vision Update, we will also focus on optimizing the vision layering issue frequently reported by Metas. After the update, servers will no longer be distinguished as Vision or non-Vision Servers. Each Server will simultaneously contain both a \[Vision World] and a \[Basic World] (except for the Prismverse's Clash Scenario). Metas can freely choose whether to participate in Vision Events.

That's all for this Dev Blog. As the Visional Wheel spins once more, new aerial challenges, exploration objectives, and growth rewards will gradually unfold. We look forward to all Metas embracing new battles in the weightless skies, and welcome everyone to continue sharing your experiences with us through the Community and Feedback Platform (Once Human Feedback Platform). Thank you for your ongoing support. Let's meet again in the "Gravity Abyss."
