GUANGZHOU, China – (April 20th, 2023) – NetEase Games, the online games division of NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES, HKEX: 9999), is proud to announce that the next era of Identity V will begin on April 20th, as the 2.0 Version update will introduce the Ashes of Memory storyline to the game. This update will launch alongside new visual improvements to the game, extra content, and special log-in bonuses for all players.
Identity V is an asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game set in a twisted gothic world, where a team of 4 Survivors must escape from the clutches of a Hunter. The Survivors must use their unique skills to evade the Hunter and complete objectives in each stage to slip away unharmed. Meanwhile, the Hunter player must track down and slay each Survivor, whittling down their numbers one by one. These matches are the apocryphal events known as the Manor Games, discovered as part of the game’s ongoing storyline as the player uncovers the mysteries of the terrible occurrences that transpired in Oletus Manor.
Identity V 2.0 Features A Brand New Protagonist & Story
The 2.0 Version update will begin Chapter 1 of the Ashes of Memory story which follows a brand-new protagonist, Journalist Alice Deross. Alice will take over the leading character role from Orpheus as players guide her investigation of the Oletus Manor as she uncovers dark secrets about its past. Moreover, all Identity V players will receive Alice as a brand-new Survivor character for free!
Identity V 2.0 Introduces A Brand New UI Interface
Now that Identity V has a new protagonist, the timeline has shifted, with Orpheus’ adventures occurring in a different era from Alice’s journey. The UI in Identity V has been altered to reflect this change, with the dilapidated lobby that players are used to now restored to its former glory. Additionally, the UI of the interactive pages has also been changed, with new iterations of the logic path, notebook, and match entrance for players to enjoy. Some new functions will also be added, including an item backpack and a story review, to help players keep track of all the information and lore presented to them.
Identity V Will Open Up Oletus Manor In New Ways
Now that Oletus Manor resembles its former glory, it’s only fitting for players to see it in a new way. In the 2.0 Version update for Identity V, Oletus Manor will open up for all players, allowing them to browse areas like the banquet hall, study, guest room, and botanical gardens. The revamped Oletus Manor will be more accessible than it has ever been before.
To coincide with the launch of the 2.0 Version update for Identity V, rewards will be offered to all players across the globe.
