Shanghai, China — March 19, 2026 | XD Games is thrilled to announce two new playable characters coming to Etheria: Restart today – Asal and Airon. The arrival of these Animus marks the beginning of Season SS3’s final phase, which concludes on 5 April 2026.
Asal and Airon join renowned artist Kethos, shadow operative Bornova, ethereal strategist Xuan Li, and seafaring cynic Gianc, as new additions to the Etheria: Restart roster during SS3 Auric Warcry.
Asal
First Attaché of the Elysian, Asal is a boisterous, offensive Animus, hellbent on destruction. She unleashes on enemies with her giant blade, slashing and suppressing whenever the opportunity arises. Additionally, Asal’s attack can add insult to injury, as her Hunt Chase skill can result in her stealing a target’s buffs.
Airon
The noble Airon, Inspector of the E.O.S. Security Defense Agency, prides himself on using his power to protect those that do not have any. A defensive tactician, Airon can transfer buffs and debuffs between friend and foe, creating openings on the battlefield where there previously were none.
SS4 will begin on 9 April 2026, but until then, be sure to follow Etheria: Restart on X for more on the final phase of SS3 Season Auric Warcry.
Etheria: Restart is available to play for free now on PC, iOS, and Android.
