Epic Seven starts 8th‑anniversary update on 28th, adds Moonlight hero Lizette
Key takeaways
- Anniversary event runs Aug 27–Oct 29, offering 1,260 free Covenant summons
- Moonlight hero Lizette starts battle with 4 divinity stacks and can revive allies
Smilegate announced on the 28th that Epic Seven has launched a major 8th‑anniversary update and event series, kicking off with a new side episode and a fresh Moonlight hero. The update’s first playable chapter, released on the 27th, is titled "실낙원" (Paradise Lost) and revisits Epic Seven’s earliest in‑world age while telling the human backstory of the familiar character Kairon. All dialogue in the episode is fully voice‑acted to boost immersion.
The update adds the Moonlight hero Lizette, presented in the episode as part of the goddess Diche who descended in human form to stop the world’s destruction. Lizette’s kit leans into that restoration narrative: she begins battle with four stacks of "divinity," can spend those to revive fallen allies, and her third skill, "Converged Time," triggers a Time Rewind effect for the whole team if she still has divinity—returning allies to their start‑of‑battle state. The announcement frames her role around sacrifice and restoration; her mechanics give players a powerful team‑reset tool when timed correctly.
Quality‑of‑life changes and new PvP content arrived alongside the episode. The auto‑battle/"Battle Delegate" system now runs while offline and collects rewards automatically, and equipment management gets two small but practical tweaks: auto‑sell and auto‑extract for gear. On the live‑match side, World Arena gained a new mode called "Call of Chaos," a faster, casual ban/pick format where each side fields three heroes and wins by destroying the opponent’s rear guardian first. Each match can be twisted by a match‑wide power called "Destiny," which promises unpredictable swings in outcome.
Epic Seven’s 8th‑anniversary celebrations include multiple layered events and guaranteed freebies. From August 27 to October 29 (63 days), the game delivers 20 free Covenant summons per day for a total of 1,260 free summons across the event window. Players who log in will also receive the Luna Bunnygirl concept skin for Majestic New Moon—this skin was tied to the hero who topped the 2025 popularity poll. A new popularity vote is running this year; voting yields "8th‑anniversary coins" that can be exchanged for items such as a 5‑star hero summon ticket and special 8th‑anniversary illustrations.
A retrospective event titled "Shining Moments" layers play‑to‑progress missions over the anniversary: completing missions grants points that unlock a timeline of the game’s service history alongside tiered rewards. The reward ladder includes a limited 5‑star hero selection ticket, assorted growth materials, and a Moonlight 5‑star selection specifically for the Natalon Academy world. The overall 8th‑anniversary update began rolling out on the 27th and will continue in stages; players can find detailed patch notes and event pages on Epic Seven’s official community and YouTube channel.
Why it matters
Takeaway: if you want the new Moonlight utility and the biggest chunk of free summons, be active between August 27 and October 29—Epic Seven is handing out 1,260 free Covenant summons across that period, plus login rewards and selection tickets tied to the anniversary events.
