Snowbreak: Containment Zone – Gradient of Souls Event Info

Soul survivor.

Hypocrisy and injustice fill the world
with flowers blooming on a moonlit night
whether it is a pure land or an abyss of sorrows and joys.
Light and shadow are intertwined,
but love turns into a round of moonlight
to protect her in the moonlit night, and love separates and reunites.

Event starts on April 18, 2024 and ends on May 30, 2024.

Names and other details are subject to final changes and EN localization.

Gameplay Content

Main Story: Special Chapter

In the middle of an operation, Cherno ran into a Changed that uttered a weird sound somewhat resembling human language, an encounter that made Cherno remember her miserable past. After returning to Yggdrasil, Caroline mentioned an organization by the name of the Blessed Ones. This group was supposed to be running things among the bottom levels of society in Containment Zone Aleph. It was also believed that this group was connected with the strange Changed specimen. To find out more, the Adjutant decided to investigate with Enya and Cherno.
