[2023] Update Notes - November 23: "Endless Journey" begins, three new weapons debut!

Hello, everyone!
In this update, we bring you the brand-new gameplay mode —— [Endless Journey] in the [Bizarre Dream]. After defeating the final boss of the [Hyperborean Jokul], you can choose to embark on an endless adventure, exploring the limits of the levels within a limited time. At the same time, this update also introduces three new weapons: [Revealer], [Dragon Breath] and [Storm Chaser]. We wish you all a great time playing!
Considering compatibility with the difficulty and pace of the battles, [Endless Journey] is currently only available from the level 9 of Reincarnation. There are still many aspects of [Endless Journey] that need improvement. If you encounter any unsatisfactory situations during your experience, we hope you can provide timely feedback, and we will continue to polish and optimize this gameplay mode in subsequent updates.

From November 22nd to November 29th, the main game and DLC of Gunfire Reborn will be available at a limited-time discount. Once again, thank you for your attention and support :)
