Journey of Monarch -君主の道- Kicks Off Its First Anniversary

NCSOFT Corporation, headquartered in Pangyo, South Korea, has unveiled exciting new details for the Journey of Monarch - 君主の道 as it celebrates its first anniversary. This update promises to be a game-changer for both new and veteran players, particularly with the introduction of a brand new world and compelling new features.

New World: Rastabad Opens

Aiming to enhance the gaming experience, the anniversary update brings forth a new world known as Rastabad. This world diverges from traditional gameplay, providing a unique experience termed the Reverse World. This distinctive structure is designed to offer an alternative progression pace, making it ideal for new players. Matches in the duel arena will be exclusive to Rastabad, creating a more focused environment for those venturing into the game for the first time.

After the regular maintenance on December 3, 2025, players who join the game will automatically connect to the Rastabad world. To celebrate this launch, NCSOFT also announced the Rastabad Boost Roulette, running from December 3, 2025, to January 7, 2026, offering unique in-game rewards and incentives for participation.

Introduction of Mythic Hero: Rasetsu

In addition to the new world, players can look forward to the inclusion of a brand new mythic hero, Rasetsu. This hero is characterized as a range-type character lacking any specific elemental attribute, and comes equipped with critical skills that deliver area attacks. Notably, Rasetsu's abilities also reduce both target’s elemental defense and attack speed, offering significant debuffs to opponents. This hero is set to shine in both Player vs. Player (PvP) and Player vs. Environment (PvE) scenarios, further enriching gameplay strategy.

An event known as the Rasetsu Pickup Summon will also be conducted, allowing players increased chances to summon this powerful hero from December 3, 2025, to December 17, 2025.

New Territory: Rastabad

The update also sees the unveiling of a new territory called Rastabad, available for exploration. In total, it features an impressive 84,000 stages, each presenting unique challenges and bosses, such as Demon Lord Raia and Underworld Lord Helvane. Each boss will showcase different elemental attributes and possess their own distinctive barriers, thus demanding strategic planning from players as they navigate through various levels.
