Confirmed Content
More Swimsuit Outfits
Version 1.3 will include additional swimsuit-themed outfits. Version 1.2 introduced the first wave of summer outfits with dyeable customization; 1.3 will expand this collection. Specific characters and outfit designs have not been revealed.
Standalone House System
A new Standalone House system is coming in 1.3, distinct from the current housing system. Details are limited, but this appears to be a separate housing mode that gives players more independence from the shared housing environment. Full details will be revealed in the 1.3 Special Program livestream.
Scarlet Letter Story Conclusion
Version 1.3 will deliver the finale of the Scarlet Letter story arc — described as a decisive battle conclusion. The Scarlet Letter arc has been building across multiple versions, and 1.3 will resolve this storyline. Players who have been following the main narrative should expect major plot developments.
What to Expect
Based on the version cadence established in 1.2, Version 1.3 will likely follow the same structure:
- Two limited S-Rank character banners (characters not yet announced)
- New permanent or seasonal events
- Continued expansion of the 999 Nights mode
- Additional QoL improvements
How to Prepare
Save Annulith now. If you’re planning to pull on 1.3 banners, avoid spending Annulith on 1.2 banners unless you specifically want Shinku or Iroi. Each 10-pull costs 160 Annulith; the soft pity starts at pull 65.
Complete the Scarlet Letter story quests. Before 1.3 launches, ensure you have completed all available Scarlet Letter story quests in 1.1 and 1.2 to be ready for the finale.
