Smilegate has rolled out a major update for Chaos Zero Nightmare (CZN), the dark fantasy roguelike RPG developed by Super Creative. The update features a revamped main story, the debut of the new Combatant “Fei,” and a variety of new content and gameplay systems.
Revamped Main Story
The update revises Chapters 1–5 of Act 1, significantly expanding the game’s world-building and deepening character narratives. Rather than simply revising the text, the entire story has been fully re-recorded with voice acting to better convey the updated details and emotional depth of each character.
New Combatant: Fei
The update introduces Fei, a Void-attribute Ranger, and her partner Ruixiang. Originally released in the Chinese version ahead of launch, Fei quickly became a fan favorite and is now available in the Korean and global versions.
Fei specializes in accumulating “Descent” stacks whenever an ally draws a card, enabling her to unleash the powerful attack card “Heavensfall.” Her unique effect, “Flame Arts,” also allows her to chain extra attacks. Players can experience Fei’s Trauma Code story, newly added alongside her debut, to uncover the hidden story of her past.
New Sortie Systems
The update expands CZN’s original roguelike mode with several new systems:
- Hardcore Mode Ranking – View the Top 100 players
- Engagement Data – Complete Combatant-specific missions to earn exclusive “Titles”
- Decisive Battle: Chaos Core – Added to the “Depths” of Sortie. Players who meet certain conditions can enter the encounter and earn additional rewards
New Core Items
Two new “Core” items have been added, allowing players to modify acquired Save Data. The Core of Mutation enables the “Mutation” feature, which adds various additional effects to Save Data, such as increased damage.
In-Game Events
To celebrate the update, Smilegate is hosting:
- Monsters’ Arena – A battle event where players fight using Monster Cards to earn rewards
- Special check-in event – Additional rewards for logging in
What They’re Saying
Kim Joo Hyung, Head of Business at Smilegate, stated: “We’ve put a great deal of time and care into revamping the early main story to deliver a more polished experience, and we hope players enjoy it. We also have a variety of new content planned so players can continue enjoying the game as Season 3 comes to a close.”
The CZN update delivers on multiple fronts: a more polished early-game experience, a fan-favorite new character, and expanded endgame systems. With Season 3 winding down, the update also sets the stage for what’s next. For more information, visit CZN‘s official channels on X and YouTube, as well as STOVE’s official website.
