[2023] Update Notes 12/22: Embark on "Boundless Dream"

What’s up, Folks!
Here comes the new update! In this update, we introduce a new (part of...) option for [Bizarre Dream] called [Boundless Dream]: After defeating the final boss of [Hyperborean Jokul], you can continue your adventure. [Endless Journey] will now be adjusted to a separate mode option and matching queue. Additionally, this update brings avatars, emotes system, and adjustments to some Spirit Blessing. Hope you will enjoy them!
Besides, we plan to launch the new limited-time gameplay framework mentioned before in January. It requires a bit more time for optimizing and polishing, so please stay tuned!
From December 21st to January 4th (UTC-8), "Gunfire Reborn" and its DLC will have a special offer. Thank you once again for your attention and support : )
