In addition to adding two new playable characters, the Version 2.7 update will also feature a new Archon Quest story.

As an added incentive for players to take the time to play through the story, doing so will unlock a new combat challenge called “Realms of Guile and War” in addition to rewards such as the event-exclusive four-star bow, Fading Twilight, which will be available in the event shop.
