Hello. This is Brown Dust 2 PD Jun-hee Lee.
Today is finally the day we get to unveil the collaboration IP for the second half of this year.
The second collaboration for Brown Dust 2, which many of you have been eagerly waiting for, is none other than...
『Shinobi Master Senran Kagura: NEW LINK』!!
The Senran Kagura series is a Japanese action game IP developed by Marvelous.
Centered around the story of high school ninja girls, the series features electrifying action and eye-catching character designs.
The high-quality skill cutscenes of Brown Dust 2 and the attractive character designs of Senran Kagura
promise great synergy, which is why we are excited to move forward with this collaboration.
The Senran Kagura collaboration event will be available
from October 2nd to October 31st, lasting for about 4 weeks.
There are so many popular characters in the Senran Kagura series that we had to think extensively about which ones to select as playable characters.
In the end, we chose the following four girls:
Yomi and Hikage from Homura's Crimson Squad,
along with Yozakura and Yumi from the Gessen Girls' Academy.
Yomi
Hikage
Yozakura
Yumi
A total of 4 new characters will be added with their respective costumes.
All of these costumes will be limited and available only during the event period.
Out of the 4 characters, Yomi's UR Exclusive Gear and 6 of her costume will be given out for free.
Additionally, the SR Exclusive Gear for all 4 characters will also be distributed for free.
Anyone who participates in the event during the collaboration period will be able to obtain all of these rewards.

Event Pack
The "Senran Kagura" Event Pack where you can enjoy the collaboration story
with the Senran Kagura series will be added.
In order to present a more immersive story along with stunning backgrounds,
we have decided to create a pack that allows you to enjoy the main quests in the field,
instead of removing the season event story.
The Senran Kagura event pack introduces the story of Justia from Character Pack 1.
After repeatedly traveling through Jaden’s dimensional portal to return to her original world,
she unexpectedly finds herself in the world of Senran Kagura.
Meet the composed leader Yumi, the carefree Hikage, and the ever-smiling Yomi.
Then there's Yozakura, who struggles to maintain balance among these strong-willed companions.
Other companion shinobis will also appear as NPCs.
Set against the backdrop of a shrine where a Giant Yōma is sealed,
please look forward to this passionate story where everything is cast aside.
Season Event
During the collaboration season, you will be able to experience two season events, each lasting for 2 weeks in succession.
First Season Event SHINOBI ROAD (October 2nd - October 17th)
The harsh training for those who wish to become shinobi, "SHINOBI ROAD" will be added as a new season event.
To become a shinobi, one must never neglect their training.
In SHINOBI ROAD, you’ll engage in intense training and spirited sparring matches at a shrine's training grounds,
all crucial for earning the right to battle yōma.
Fiend Hunter Boss "True Orochi (Water)"
In SHINOBI ROAD, the Giant Yōma, True Orochi (Water), will appear as the Fiend Hunter Boss.
This true Orochi is an illusion created for the training of shinobi,
but its power rivals that of the real one, so stay on your guard.
Mini-game "Dance with Shurikens!"
Players must dodge the shurikens flying from all directions and survive as long as possible.
Your HP decreases when struck by a shuriken, and its game over when your HP reaches 0.
Rewards are given based on how long you survive.
Second Season Event AKATSUKI (October 17th - October 31st)
The bloody battle within the Blood Barrier dominated by the Giant Yōma, "AKATSUKI" will be added as a new season event.
Your training is over, and it's time to show what you've achieved now that the enemy has appeared.
In AKATSUKI, set against the backdrop of a shrine consumed by a Blood Barrier,
you can experience the desperate struggle of shinobi fighting to protect the world from yōma.
Fiend Hunter Boss "True Orochi (Fire)"
In AKATSUKI, the Giant Yōma, True Orochi (Fire), will appear as the Fiend Hunter Boss.
This True Orochi is not an illusion for training but a genuinely evil entity seeking to break free from its seal.
Let's combine our strength to defeat the True Orochi and save the world of shinobi.
Mini-game "Ninja Art, Super Rush!"
Dash forward to destroy wooden dolls.
You will obtain points based on the number of wooden dolls destroyed within the time limit.
Finally, saving the best for last, here are cuts from Hikage and Yumi's costume skill cut-scenes.
We'd also like to share the other updates coming in October.
New Guild Raid Boss and Improvements
We're introducing a new magic-based boss in the form of a deer that uses DoT and knock-back skills.
Rather than requiring daily battles, you’ll now have a 4 to 7-day window to update your highest score, with reduced boss battle speed.
We'll adjust the rewards and clear score accordingly while keeping the reward values the same.
Additionally, we will make further improvements based on the feedback you provided through our survey.
PC Client 48-Hour Login Expiration Issue
We've received feedback that the current login session duration is too short.
To address this, we're extending it from 48 hours to 2 weeks.
Ability Skill Overpower Enhancement
We have removed the dash requirement from fiend overpower conditions to make it easier to use.
Also, overpower's range has been expanded to make it more effective and user-friendly.
Removal of Mission Notification Bar During Draws
The mission notification bar that used to appear during draws will now only show up after the draw is complete.
That's all the information we have about the update for today!
First, we want to sincerely apologize for the numerous bugs that occurred around the summer update. This period was meant to be enjoyable, but instead, it caused significant inconvenience.
Particularly, we are very sorry for the repeated issues related to basic stability, which caused significant frustration.
Internally, we are reevaluating our processes to include more rigorous QA testing and more thorough reviews.
We are committed to making sure that we carefully review and secure the stability of the game moving forward. Once again, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused.
We are also thoroughly reviewing all the valuable feedback you've provided about the newly added growth feature, the Awakening System.
We're carefully considering all your concerns, including increased growth fatigue, the addition of indirect monetization elements, and the insufficient supply of in-game currency.
Additionally, all your feedback on the Guild Raid is being taken into account for future improvements.
To minimize the fatigue of cooperative play, we've designed Guild Raid without overall rankings or individual records.
However, guild leaders are finding it hard to track member participation without these records.
We're also reviewing feedback on the accuracy of logs for members leaving the guild and login dates.
We will use your feedback from an upcoming survey
to make meaningful improvements moving forward.
Lastly, from September 28 to October 30, we've prepared an event where you can earn over 100 Draw Tickets.
Additionally, a variety of other rewards will be available, so be sure to participate.
I hope you all enjoy Brown Dust 2's second collaboration event,
which will be held for 4 weeks.
To wrap things up, here are some gifts for you.

- 600 Dia
- 40 Cooked Rice
