Here are the complete patch notes for Destiny Rising‘s September 11 update that went out earlier today.
Destiny: Rising just dropped its second post-launch update after today’s four-hour maintenance. Similar to the last update, NetEase is sending out 200 Lumia Leaves as compensation (check your in-game mail). If you played in the last week and had an account before maintenance, you should see the message pop up.
This update adds two new characters (Estela and Umeko), new limited-time events, and the start of Season 1: Season of Daybreak. There’s a big round of fixes and quality-of-life tweaks, too. Things like controller prompts, slide control, and a bunch of activity and weapon issues.
Also worth flagging: the first Gauntlet Onslaught “Eclipse” World First race kicks off next week, Friday, Sept 19. We’ve got the start times, entry requirements, and contest rules here if you’re prepping a team.
