What We Know About Version 2.5

While Chinese servers have already previewed this content, international players will finally get their proper introduction to the Hong Kong action movie-inspired update. 'Showdown in Chinatown' delivers a gripping crime thriller narrative focused on apprehending a rogue arcanist vigilante.

The update introduces several unique characters:

• Officer Liang Yue - A martial arts expert infiltrating a film set
• Noire - A wheelchair-bound director who controls puppet actors in battle
• Loggerhead - A literally camera-headed character (yes, really)

The livestream will confirm which of these previewed elements will specifically appear in the global version, but players can certainly expect nods to classic Hong Kong cinema influences from Shaw Brothers to John Woo's stylized action.
