Gear up for a fresh adventure in Tower of Fantasy when the Ethereal Rose update, a.k.a. Version 4.3, pedals in on September 19th! Hotta Studio and Level Infinite are ready to unveil a fragrant bouquet of new content, including a potential new Simulacrum and a new mode of transportation – bicycles!

In a world filled with futuristic tech and hoverboards, Tower of Fantasy is taking a step (or pedal) back to basics. Players can now explore Aida’s sprawling landscapes on two wheels. For a mere 50 Norn, you can rent a bicycle at designated stations and cruise alongside friends through the Gesthos Network. This new mode of transportation offers a unique, laid-back way to experience the game’s expansive environments, adding a refreshing twist to the usual high-speed traversal methods.

The update promises more than just leisurely bike rides, though. Ethereal Rose will introduce a mysterious new crisis to Aida. “The turmoil from Public Security and Aurora Industries has just subsided, but a new crisis has arisen,” the official teaser hints. With secrets lurking beneath the surface, it seems that players are in for another wild ride, narrative-wise.

While specifics are still under wraps, eagle-eyed fans may have spotted glimpses of a brand-new Simulacrum in the update’s teasers. Fans of the recent Evangelion collaboration event will also be happy to know that the developers remain in constant communication with the classic anime’s copyright holders and hinted at the possibility of more crossover content down the road.

So, mark your calendars, tighten those bike helmets, and get ready to ride into Tower of Fantasy’s latest update! Stay tuned for more info as we inch closer to launch day!
