Overview

  • Update 1.003 (patch 10) is now live, swapping in Krafton branding across the game and adding an updated Tango Gameworks splash.
  • The PC release has removed Denuvo, with support ending at 00:00 KST on January 16, 2026.
  • Tango states the internal system structure changed significantly, making the new patch mandatory to launch the game after the cutoff.
