If you're an Epic Seven fan and have been eagerly awaiting fresh content to dive into this weekend, your wish has been granted! Smilegate has rolled out a major update featuring a brand-new prequel story titled A Resolve Inherited, now live alongside several quality-of-life enhancements designed to improve the overall player experience.
A Resolve Inherited – An All-New Prequel Story
Set in an alternate timeline known as the 6th World—a realm doomed to face total annihilation as part of the universe’s endless cycle of destruction and rebirth—this new narrative offers a deeper look into pivotal events that shaped the Epic Seven universe. The story follows two central characters, Krau and Victorika, who are brought to life with full voice acting. As protagonists, they guide players through both the main episode and additional side-story content, offering rich storytelling and emotional depth.
Guard Captain Krau also debuts as a five-star playable character. His combat style is unique—he deals damage based on his own Defense stat, making him a powerful hybrid of offense and durability. His skill set allows him to bypass enemy defenses, apply debilitating debuffs, and even boost the caster's Combat Readiness, making him a versatile asset in battle.
