The update will add a new weapon, the Gauntlet, along with balance adjustments, content updates, and server optimizations tailored to player feedback and a new global region.

NetEase Games and Everstone Studio reaffirm ongoing post-launch support with regular high-quality content updates and a responsive stance to player feedback, per Eric Zheng, head of publishing.

The expansion adds a new homestead system, a new companion system, and new Gauntlet weapons to broaden gameplay options.

Two new modes arrive: Martial Path Domain, a co-op PvE mode for up to five players, and Ancient Tombs, an exploration mode focused on deep tomb dungeons and high-tier loot.

In June, Yanyun players will gain new systems and content such as a family business (managing a farm in Qinghe), an alliance system, plus fresh PvE content including ancient cave exploration and a five-player co-op mode.

Details and previews of Yeonun’s large-scale content and roadmap are available on the official site and Naver Lounge, with translations noted for accuracy.

The roadmap follows the Hexi expansion and notes more than 100 updates and optimizations have been deployed in the past two months, with further improvements planned for launch celebrations and player convenience.

Dawn of the Palace introduces a new Oriental-style palace region spanning about one million square meters, nearly 3,000 NPCs, multiple clans, and a central story around the Imperial Family facade.

A limited-time Panda costume will run for one month starting May 20 to raise wildlife protection awareness as part of social contribution activities.

Another Panda cosmetic will be available from May 19, 2026, to support wildlife protection awareness.
