Improved Endless Trial: it is now available from the start, with unlimited entries. Rebalanced overall combat difficulty by reducing early enemy health, damage, and spawn pressure. Refined the early campaign pacing by reducing the number and attack strength of ranged enemies in Wave 4, allowing builds to develop more smoothly. Improved overall playability and challenge balance.

Improved the Dawn Expedition experience by streamlining unfinished interactions and enhancing the stability and readability of map nodes and overall progression. Fixed truncated date labels in the Step Trend section of step statistics, improving readability on smaller screens. Added achievement presentation and dedicated badge artwork, with improved visual feedback when achievements are unlocked. Refined enemy spawns and difficulty pacing in Endless Trial for a better challenge experience.

EmberScrolls 2.0 expands its real-world, step-driven exploration experience: After completing all main story locations, unlock Dawn Expedition and use real-world steps to progress through three seamlessly looping maps, discovering route events, campfires, and expedition records. Added Expedition Statistics, including today’s steps, 7-day and 30-day averages, current-week progress, completed-week trends, and personal walking records. Added optional Live Activities for the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Start or end them manually to follow your current expedition route and step progress. Expanded Ashen Trials with a standalone Endless Trial. Choose a primary build and begin directly at Wave 1, gain temporary upgrades, face recurring boss groups, and record your farthest progress.

Added a new Guides & Progress section in Settings. You can now Replay Onboarding anytime. Added Show Home Hints Again to restore first-time Home tip cards. Added Reset Local Progress with required RESET confirmation to prevent accidental resets. Reset now clears local journey data (step progress, scene unlocks, relic collection/codex, Ember Sparks, and unlocked armor) and restarts onboarding, while keeping app language and system permissions unchanged.
