PANGYO, Korea (January 8, 2025) – NCSOFT today unveiled a major update to its idle MMORPG, Journey of Monarch, introducing the new territory ‘Giran’. The maximum stage limit in Journey of Monarch has been expanded from 10,000 to 20,000, coinciding with the introduction of the new territory, Giran. Players can now progress through these new stages to earn valuable loot and further enhance their Monarch and heroes. Giran also introduces boss monsters equipped with debuff skills, making their first appearance in the game. Additionally, a new world also named Giran is now live. All new players joining the game will automatically begin their journey in the Giran World. To celebrate this update, all players will receive three celebratory coupons containing 10,000 Hero Summon Tickets, 10,000 Dice Roll Tickets, and a guaranteed summon ticket for the True Death Knight. The Legend-tier hero Kalitra has also joined the game. Kalitra is a non-elemental, magic-type hero that uses powerful area-of-effect skills such as Vail Eruption, which deals damage in a fan-shaped area while boosting the intelligence of all magic-type heroes. In celebration of the New Year, Journey of Monarch has introduced a new mount costume, Blue Snake, allowing players to customize their mounts with this fresh look. The update also enhances the Blood Pledge system and contents, introducing new features. Members are now categorized as Monarch, Guardian, Elite, and Common, each with specific roles and privileges. Another system, Pact of Protection, enables members to defend territories or request defensive aid. The Blood Pledge Storage has been added as a shared resource system for items obtained through pillaging. Additionally, players can also enjoy two new seasonal dungeons, Voidal Rift and Phantasm Elysium, which offer fresh challenges and rewards. Other updates include the addition of the Daily Dice Dungeon, Monarch Name Change Function, an increased Dive level cap to 70, and an expanded Daily Dungeon difficulty to level 200.
