The Grinning God has awakened. NEW RAID - THE GRINNING GOD A members-only apex raid for a party of up to 5 hunters. Cover 150,000 steps and climb 75 flights together within 72 hours to bring down the deepest-floor Monarch, and claim one of three mythic weapons found nowhere else. RAID FINDER No full party? Queue up and get matched with other hunters seeking the same raid. Bring the friends you have, and we'll fill the rest of the seats. BECOME A FOUNDER The first 20 hunters to defeat 50 bosses earn a permanent Founder mark and lifetime membership. Keep hunting. THE SLEEPLESS CROWN A new S-rank raid that counts your real, tracked sleep alongside your steps. Rest is part of the climb. PACTS Team up with a friend and keep a shared daily streak burning across your co-op hunts. Plus faster load times, clearer co-op flows, and polish throughout the tower.

Hunter, your climb just leveled up. Awakened Premium (optional) — no co-op dungeon entrance fee, no cap on how many hunts you run at once, and unlimited daily Ascent attempts. It rewards your grind, not your wallet: no stat boosts, no combat edge. Leaderboards stay all skill. Co-op Dungeons — see the entrance fee before you commit, and rewards split fairly across your party. Founders — the first 100 hunters who earned their place carry a permanent marker. Free and earned, never for sale. Plus stability fixes across the Arena and co-op.

Dress your hunter, climb the Collection Log, and never miss a Pact. • The Wardrobe — premium avatar skins to make your hunter your own. Ten mythic and legendary looks, purely cosmetic — they never touch your stats, ranks, or standing. • Collection Log leaderboard — every relic you discover now counts toward a global board. See how your archive ranks against hunters worldwide. • Live notifications — get alerted the moment a friend request lands or a guildmate summons you to a co-op hunt, even with the app closed. Never miss a Pact again. • Drop History — every relic you've ever earned, in one log grouped by day. Tap any drop to relive the reveal. • Armory, redesigned — your full loadout, gear power, and set bonuses at a glance. • Streak rewards — hit 30, 90, and 365-day streaks to claim milestone Soul rewards. • Guild invites — share a one-tap link that lands friends straight in your circle. • Founder's Lifetime — a one-time way to back Awakened forever, with a Founder badge, an exclusive look, and supporter perks. Plus smoother onboarding, in-app feedback, faster profile loading, and stability polish throughout.

VERTICAL JUMP PROGRAM A complete 14-day training program is now built into Awakened. Follow a real plyometrics and strength cycle designed to add inches to your vertical, with the First Awakened guiding you through every session. Pick it when you start, or add it any time. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY MOVE YOU Notifications are completely rebuilt. They now show where you really stand: your live step rank, the rival just ahead of you, and the streak on the line tonight. Step away for a few days and your rivals will let you know. A CLEARER ARMORY Every equipped item now shows its power right on the slot, and your relics are sorted from strongest to weakest, so you always know exactly what to equip. CLIMBING KILL MILESTONES Your leaderboard badge now grows with every 100 bosses you slay. Cross 100, 200, 300 and beyond, and wear it for everyone to see. FRIENDS AND CO-OP Incoming friend requests now appear the moment they arrive, sending a co-op hunt invite is smoother, and joining a hunt is more reliable than ever. Plus a faster, more secure backend and dozens of smaller fixes.

A new way to track your haul — and a sharper, fairer fight. Collection Log A new lens in the Items tab records every relic by dungeon: which drops you've collected, which still await you, and how many times you've pulled each one. Hunt down the full clear of every gate. A fairer fight Combat matchups now read honestly — Super Effective and Not Very Effective finally mean what they say — and the healing strike can no longer be spammed every turn, so duels reward tactics over attrition. Loot where it belongs Greaves now sit alongside your boots in the Armory, and two ultra-rare weapons join the A-rank hunt as drops to earn rather than simply buy. Plus polish and dozens of smaller fixes throughout.

The climb gets sharper, the fights get deeper, and the summit finally has an ending worthy of it. A redesigned combat HUD — Damage, defense, and status effects now read at a glance in the heat of every duel. Less squinting, more fighting. New combat tactics — Rangers can slip incoming blows with evasion, and melee hunters gain Bulwark: a guard-and-recover stance that turns a desperate defense into a comeback. The summit, finished — Conquer all 100 floors and a cinematic finale now crowns the climb, with a Time to Summit clock for hunters chasing the fastest ascent. Accept all, one tap — When a guild ally calls you to several co-op hunts at once, join them all from a single tap instead of answering one by one. Plus performance gains, accessibility polish, and dozens of smaller fixes.

See your discipline become power. This update makes the link between your daily vows and your hunter's strength clearer than ever — and sharpens the climb. • Your power, explained. Tap POWER in the Ascent to see exactly how your stats and relics — all earned by keeping your vows — forge your strength. Your routine's bonus XP now shows live on the Habits screen as you complete it. • Forge your gear. Spend souls to upgrade your relics, and unlock set bonuses by assembling matching equipment — including two new co-op armor sets. • A truer summit. The top floors of the Ascent now demand a genuinely maxed build — a worthy final test of everything you've earned. • A calmer start. A cleaner first launch, clearer Apple Health–tracked vows, and steadier guidance for new hunters. • Polish & fixes. Sharper Arena menus, a fixed Relic Archive layout on larger iPhones, co-op hunt fixes, and a long list of smaller bug fixes. Keep your vows. The tower is waiting.

• PERFECT DAY - reimagined Complete every habit in a day and you've earned it: a brand-new full-screen celebration crowns the moment with a gold "Perfect Day" seal, a triumphant fanfare, and real haptics. It grows with your streak, from Kindled to Eternal, so day 100 hits harder than day 1. Tap to continue whenever you're ready. • PRESTIGE - the endgame Reaching S+ Rank is no longer the finish line. Keep showing up and earn ascending Prestige stars that show off on the global leaderboard and your Hunter profile - proof you've been climbing since the beginning. • A FASTER CLIMB We rebalanced the rank curve so your progress feels earned, not endless. S-Rank is now within reach in about three months of consistency. • KNOW YOUR GEAR AT A GLANCE The Armory now shows every relic's class (Melee, Ranger, or Mage) and its power, so it's instantly clear what to equip. Plus a cleaner, perfectly-aligned card layout. Plus the usual polish and fixes under the hood. Keep your vows. Become Awakened.

Two new dungeon bosses have arrived, each guarding powerful loot — 6 new weapons to claim. Focus and Guard movesets have been buffed, making defensive and precision builds stronger in the arena. Plus a round of bug fixes and polish.

Hunter — the system opens to allies. CO-OP HUNTS Summon a friend and bring down The Twin Maw together — combine your steps, share the kill, both of you credited. When an ally calls you in, the summons arrives as a full cinematic. A SHARPER ARENA • The global Steps leaderboard, redesigned — cleaner, with your rank pinned in view. • New prestige marks beside your name: the 100K Step Club seal and the 100-boss-kills stamp. • Leave an active co-op hunt any time, with no penalty. Plus polish and fixes throughout. Keep what you swore.

The Ascent has a summit — and a Sovereign waiting at the top. • **New apex boss.** A new S-rank challenge crowns the climb. Defeat it and you may claim the game's first **Mega-Rare** weapon — revealed in a full cinematic the moment it drops. • **New best-in-slot gear.** A fresh high-rank armor set to hunt and equip for the final floors. • **Combat styles you can actually read.** Your build now fights as **Melee, Magic, or Ranged** — tap the new "?" in the Ascent to learn the combat triangle and play the matchups. • **A cleaner first climb.** Onboarding now flows straight into naming your hunter before the tower opens. • **Balance pass.** Floor 100 is beatable with a maxed build — but it'll make you earn it.
