Thank you very much for always playing "FIST OF THE NORTH STAR: LEGENDS ReVIVE."

This is Director Uematsu.

Here is the Director's Letter for April 2026.

This month, as part of our April Fools' Day event, the final stage of the "Giant Hag" Ascension has finally been implemented.

Were you able to get him?

We hope you'll level his up and enjoy seeing her shine in monthly Alliance Battle and other events.

What could possibly be in store for next year's April Fools' Day...?

Stay tuned!

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

we'll also provide details on the update scheduled for late April.

The voting period for the special event "6.5 Anniversary Fighter Vote," commemorating Hokuto Revive's 6.5th anniversary, successfully concluded earlier this month.

Once again, thank you very much for your participation!

The results for the top 30 fighters have been announced in a separate notice, so please be sure to check it out if you haven't already.

In this newsletter, we'd like to reintroduce the top 3 fighters who made the cut.

#1 Heart of Steel Master Ryuken

#2 Second General Hyoh

#3 Billowing Clouds Juza

We will be implementing rarity upgrades for each of these top 3 fighters one by one from June through August, so please look forward to it.

A new feature, "Monthly Pack," will be implemented in the next update.

Monthly Pack are value-packed bundles where the number of purchases you can make resets every month.

While we currently offer various value packs on a rotating basis, the pack you want may not always be available when you need it.

That's why we've introduced this feature, allowing you to purchase the pack you want at any time within the same month.

We've received feedback requesting that these value packs be available for purchase without time limits, as missing a purchase opportunity means you can't buy them again for about a month.

Therefore, we have introduced this feature so you can purchase the pack you want whenever you want.

The eligible value-packed bundles are listed here.

Rainbow Charm Pack

(All) Fighter Shard Pack

Red Random Cmp. or Grd. Core Box Pack

Cores Enhancement Pack

Red Charm Amplification Pack

Territory Dev. Pack

Upgrade Eqpt. Pack

Eqpt. Amplification Pack

Manual Augmentation Pack

Inscription Pack

Fighter Statues Enhancement Pack

Unique Mod Spanner Pack

These will go on sale on the Value Pack screen starting April 29, so be sure to take advantage of them!

In addition, some UI elements in the "The Hidden Technique's Sanctum" have been updated to make the game more user-friendly.

A new "Season Ordeals" will also be introduced in May, so be sure to challenge yourself to achieve a high score.

Furthermore, the next update will include another improvement: "Reduced Loading Times."

This applies to the sequence of actions for the login bonus.

Depending on your play environment, we expect this to reduce loading times by approximately 30% on average.

We hope you'll try it out for yourself.

We will continue to implement these loading time improvements sequentially in the future.

Next up is the new fighter information section.

Here is the new fighter arriving on April 29!

"Prevailing Love Rin" will debut as the first non-combat Fighter capable of being upgraded to LR rarity.

When LR was first implemented, we mentioned that we would not be releasing LR versions of non-combat Fighters for a while.

This was because non-combat Fighters can only be included in a party once, and since they have a significant impact on battle dynamics, releasing them immediately risked disrupting the balance of the battle environment.

However, since the number of released LR fighters has now increased sufficiently, Rin marks their long-awaited debut.

She possesses abilities worthy of an LR, so don't miss out!

Now, let's take a closer look at her battle performance!

1. The first Power-type non-combat fighter to significantly boost the attack power of allied fighters!

"Prevailing Love Rin" provides various forms of support to all allied fighters to increase their damage output.

Her Secret Technique's Hyper-Awakening grants "Chi Boost Uninfluenced by Chi Increase," allowing her to activate her Secret Technique from the very first turn and gain an early advantage in battle.

2. Triggers Fate Release based on the number of allied fighters with Fate Release!

When "Prevailing Love Rin" activates her Fate Secret Technique, allied fighters with Fate Release can perform follow-up attacks while granted Ultimate Piercer.

Furthermore, Endurance Decay will also be applied to normal attacks and normal Ultimate Skills, allowing Fighters in your party to deal high damage to enemy Fighters' HP even with attacks other than Fate Secret Technique.

3. At LR★3, the requirements for Fate Unlock increase, and Fate Ultimate Skills and Passives are also enhanced!

When you advance Seven Star Unlock to LR★3, Number of times your own Secret Technique has been activated is added to the existing requirements, making it easier to unlock.

Fate Secret Technique now include "status boosts based on the number of allied fighters with Fate Unlocked," and allies' normal attacks will grant Endurance Decay, providing a new way to attack through Endurance.

Please check the game for detailed performance information at a later date.

Also, starting from now, we will gradually implement rarity upgrades for existing non-combat UR Fighters, so please look forward to that as well!

Here are the details on the May event schedule!

To celebrate Golden Week, we'll be holding the "Gold Rush" starting at the end of April!

Collect lots of Judollars and exchange them for various items, including food.

Of course, the limited-edition home background commemorating the Gold Rush will be making a comeback this year as well.

If you don't have it yet, you can obtain it by logging in during the event period, so be sure not to miss out on this either.

That concludes this Director's Letter.

With the long-awaited arrival of non-combat LR Fighters, the entire operations team is giving it our all to deliver even more intense battles.

Moving forward, we'll place even greater emphasis on synergy between Fighters. We aim to create an experience where you can excel in battle by building teams around your favorite Fighter and pairing them with compatible allies, so please look forward to it!

We look forward to your continued support of FIST OF THE NORTH STAR: LEGENDS ReVIVE this year.
