Developers revealed the October 1 update during a September 27 livestream at TGS, outlining new weapons, a medium Void Vessel dungeon, a new Void Abyss intercept battle, Trigger Modules, quality of life changes, balance adjustments, an event pass, and multiple seasonal skins and events.
The livestream summary lists a lot for players to try when the patch goes live on October 1. Nexon posted the full rundown, which has images and the developer video.
Key highlights from the broadcast:
- New sword weapons: Two swords, “Shadow” and “Deus Ex Manus,” arrive with sword-specific Modules and an External Component set called the Manus Set. Four sword weapon skins will launch, including two transcendent tier skins with unique visual and sound effects. ⚔️
- Void Vessel – Medium-Sized Facility Zone: A new dungeon with Normal and Hard difficulties. It adds the named monster Arche Slayer, which uses sword-charge patterns, and sections where Hover Bikes are usable.
- Void Abyss Intercept Battle – Lava Citadel: A fire variant of the Molten Fortress Colossus, Lava Citadel uses flame tornados and wide AoE attacks. New reward skins and a Colotoys back attachment will be added.
- New Trigger Modules: Supply Fortress for Ajax and Kyle, Wave Eruption for Blair, and Rhythmic Step that boosts Movement Speed and Max Shield for Rhythm Skill users.
- Quality of life: Amorphous Material can now be opened directly in Albion, Weapon Optimization Conditions were removed from the Reactor and all players receive 3 Crystallization Catalysts as compensation, and the Laboratory now supports summoning up to 50 monsters for testing.
- Balance focus: October will bring several balance updates, with a larger focus on Kyle. Ajax will get Skill Power and firearm buffs, Esiemo will see better Skill chain connectivity, and Bunny will receive performance and Movement Speed fixes during Skills. Firearm DPS adjustments are under review.
- Event pass and seasonal content: A four week “Sword Event Pass” starts October 1, offering Transcendent weapon skins “Harmony and Balance” and “The Furnace,” attachments, name cards, sprays, and growth rewards. Multiple skin drops are scheduled across October, including Halloween themed releases on October 16 and a “Cleaning Service” maid set on October 23. Lounge decorations and emotes are also planned.
- October events: New Sector Exploration runs 10/2 to 11/6, Albion Harvest Festival runs 10/1 to 11/6, and the General Store of Dreams runs 10/16 to 11/6 for exchanging Dream Tokens.

During the Q&A the team confirmed a few roadmap points: inventory filters and sorting are being improved, Ancestors Modules are planned for differentiated late game growth in November after balance stabilizes, options for blocking notifications will be considered, and stronger AFK countermeasures plus improvements to automatic detection are being reviewed.
This update touches a lot of different players – sword users get fresh gear and skins, testers and solo players get laboratory improvements, and players who felt underpowered can expect targeted balance work for Kyle, Ajax, Esiemo, and Bunny.
