Thank you for always playing "Fist of the North Star LEGENDS ReVIVE"

I'm Uematsu, the Director.

Here is my Director's Letter for the end of March 2026.

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic participation in the fighter poll to celebrate our 6.5th anniversary!

Looking at your voting trends, I've once again realized just how diverse and charming the characters of "Fist of the North Star" are,

and how strong your love for the series is. As a fellow fan who loves "Fist of the North Star" myself, this makes me incredibly happy.

Before we know it, the voting period will be coming to an end.

You can also win a [6.5 Anniv.] Luxury Random Box, so if you have any voting tickets, please don't forget to cast your vote.

In this letter, in addition to information on the new fighters arriving at the end of March and April's events,

we'll also share details on the late-March update and our future development plans.

Starting with the next update, a new feature called "Skip Gacha Animation for Already-Owned Fighters" will be introduced.

When a fighter appears from the gacha, their Secret Technique animations are always played.

By enabling this new setting, you can automatically skip this animation for fighters you already own.

A checkbox will appear on the top screen of each gacha; please toggle it as you prefer.

Thank you for your patience. We have an update regarding the "loading time reduction" we briefly mentioned in last month's announcement video.

Since we now have a clear timeline for implementation, we will be implementing the following improvements to reduce loading times.

■ Scope

The entire sequence of login bonus events

■ Implementation Timeline

During the maintenance scheduled for late April

Additionally, we have another announcement regarding loading times.

We have decided to suspend the Celestial Dojo, which is held every other month, for the time being.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, among all battle content, this event has particularly long loading times.

The second is that there is room for improvement in areas beyond loading times to make gameplay more comfortable.

One example is a modification that allows for more flexible switching between the three party compositions.

We would like to take this opportunity to implement a major overhaul focused on these two points.

This is merely a temporary suspension, and we plan to relaunch the event as soon as the necessary improvements are ready.

Additionally, during the suspension period, we will hold the "Celestial League Dojo" event instead.

Moving forward, we will place particular emphasis on improvements designed to make the game more enjoyable for everyone, such as the Gacha Animation Skip Feature and the Celestial Dojo updates mentioned earlier.

Next up is the new fighter information corner.

Here's the new fighter arriving on 3/30!

Celestial Wolf's Critical Gaze Ryuga will debut as a new fighter eligible for rarity promotion.

Ryuga, whose guiding star is the Celestial Wolf.

Determined to identify the mighty tree the era requires, he resolves to become a Demon Wolf himself and heads into battle!

Here are his distinctive battle abilities!

1. A status ailment attacker who strengthens himself by inflicting Frost on enemy fighters!

Celestial Wolf's Critical Gaze Ryuga applies Frost through various skills--such as Special Techniques,Secret Techniques, and Passives--to lower enemy fighters' defense.

Additionally, since Frost triggers debuffs on enemy fighters and boosts your own Chi, the more you apply it, the more you can gain an advantage in battle.

2. Deploy Astral Roots of the Great Tree based on the number of times you've activated your Secret Technique!

Celestial Wolf's Critical Gaze Ryuga has the ability to deploy Astral Field Effects, which can overwrite existing field effects or your opponent's Astral Field Effects.

Use Frost and Astral Roots of the Great Tree to control the pace of battle and corner your opponent!

Please check the game later for detailed stats.

Here are the details on the April event schedule!

With that said, we will be holding a certain event in early April.

Be sure to clear the missions and further strengthen "A Certain Big Fighter"!

Also, Ordeals in The Hidden Technique's Sanctum will be updated in April.

We will announce the featured Seasonal Ordeals in a notice at the end of each month, so be sure to check it and prepare for the next month's The Hidden Technique's Sanctum.

That concludes this Director's Letter.

Having celebrated our 6.5th anniversary this past March, "Fist of the North Star LEGENDS ReVIVE" is finally heading toward our 7th anniversary!

The number 7 is a symbolic number for Fist of the North Star.

We are currently hard at work preparing a wealth of content worthy of this milestone.

We also have major plans in the works to ensure everyone can enjoy the 7th anniversary.

We'll be sharing more details gradually, so please stay tuned!

We look forward to your continued support of "Fist of the North Star LEGENDS ReVIVE" this year as well.
