Stella Sora launches Oct 20 anniversary update, Hongdae pop-up and coffee truck

The new main story chapter, titled “Mu-gyeol’s Garden: Blurred Dawn” (무결의 정원 흐릿한 여명), will release in two parts: the front half on October 20 and the back half on October 30. The broadcast recapped the previous chapter “Far Tower,” where the protagonist-demon lord chooses self-sacrifice and is executed by the committee, and the new PV closes with the party wishing for the demon lord’s return and an homage to their first meeting. The team said the anniversary distribution record “Everlasting Shining Light” and other milestone rewards will be available through event missions running until November 3.

A limited 5-star traveler named Seina (Wish) debuts for the anniversary as a Light-element vanguard with two weapon modules: the longsword “Dawn” (여명) and the greatsword “Seogwang” (서광). Seina’s kit deals damage scaled to target HP, swaps between modules during combat, and triggers Light sigils and buffs through special attacks. The limited record “Guiding Morning Star” raises the whole team’s HP, while the distributed 5-star record “Everlasting Shining Light” and other milestone prizes will be handed out during the event period.

Gacha and event timing details: Seina and the limited record pickup will run through November 10. Completing the anniversary mission series through November 3 grants the distributed 5-star record, a limited title, star fragments, Sky Tickets, Sacred Dew, and other currency. The login and attendance campaigns from October 20 to November 10 include three overlapping sign-in events that award Seina’s exclusive skin “Resting Time, By Your Side” for free, 20 wish-limited tickets, 6,000 wish discs, one Sacred Dew for cumulative logins, and 100 “Reunion Bond” limited tickets through cumulative attendance.

New gameplay and system updates arrive alongside the story content. A beta housing system called the Demon King’s Tower lets players decorate their owned Star Tower and campsite; completing decoration missions rewards star fragments, dream ore, an “Everyday Living Room” furniture set, and an exclusive title. The team will also add Stella Battler — an auto-battler meets TCG mode named “Reverberation of the Immaculate Castle” — plus limited minigames including rhythm-based racing “Boost Rush” and a guided card game “Fate House,” each offering star fragments, ancient coins, and sprout tickets. Account permission level cap increases from 40 to 60, five existing travelers including Gray and Nanoha receive balance buffs, Infinite Ring stages 21–22 and higher Emblem Trial difficulties are added, Star Tower sweep is expanded, fate card auto-selection for Defense is enabled, and a past distributed-record rerun exchange system will be introduced to improve convenience.

Skins and real-world promotions were detailed as well. New 3D skins include Sia’s “Invitation of the Coral Sea” and Piren’s “Femme Fatale,” while popular skins such as Gray’s “Snow Melts and You,” Chitose’s “Blooming Trumpet, Awakened Girl,” and Misty’s “LoveCoco Valentine” will be reissued for sale. Two skins — “Warmth of Sunshine (Seina)” and “When Strange Winds Blow (Nanoha)” — will move to permanent sale. The broadcast also announced OST Vol.1 release featuring theme songs by the trio Seina, Kohaku, and Ayame; Japan will host an Akihabara pop-up store, street campaign, and an official artbook release; Korea will run a special anniversary contest across illustration, video, and live-broadcast categories with submissions open October 20–November 20 for art and video, and livestream entries accepted through October 27. A watch-and-earn “Drops” program tied to Stella Sora broadcasts will distribute in-game rewards, with participation details to be posted on official social channels.
