Seven Knights 2 gets a new hero, mythic tier gear and more in its latest update

Netmarble has just released a new update for Seven Knights 2, the highly acclaimed sequel to the highly popular mobile RPG Seven Knights.

It’s big, featuring gear, events, and a brand new hero.

For the uninitiated, Seven Knights 2 is set 20 years after the original Seven Knights and follows the adventures of the Dawn Mercenaries as they hunt down Rudy, the last surviving member of the Seven Knights.

Not only does it look great, with very cinematic 3D graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4, but it boasts an epic story made up of an unforgettable cast of characters.

And now there’s another one. Knight of Darkness Evan, the newest addition, is a Legendary+ Attack type hero whose skill allows you to suppress enemies’ passive abilities.

Evan’s passive skill, triggered by AoE damage, allows you to disable enemy units. This makes him a valuable addition to any team. However, his health is lower than most, making it difficult to keep him alive.

The new Mythic Grade gear, meanwhile, allows you to upgrade your characters’ Legendary+ weapons and armor even more than before; This new tier affects 11 types of gear that you can access by using mythic upgrade stones.

That’s a decent payout for each update, but Netmarble has also lined up a bunch of events that will run between March 2nd and March 15th.

First, here’s the Blue Bear gift! A crafting event that allows you to earn Blue Bear Coins by logging in and completing missions.

When you collect a lot of coins, you can spend them on Legendary+ Evan costume, summon tickets, upgrade stones and mythic upgrade stones.

In addition, as more players collect Blue Bear Coins, they will earn rewards such as rubies, Mythic Upgrade Stones, Legendary+ Weapon/Armor Selection Tickets, and Mythic Upgrade Stones.

Then there’s the March Check-in 3.3.3 event. This one sees you check in to collect pet shard chests, legendary pet summon coupons and – again – blue bear coins.

Finally, March’s Pet Fest event allows you to receive even more Blue Bear Coins, along with Pet Step Up Summon Vouchers and Legendary Pet Summon Voucher Fragments, every time you summon pets or fuse pet soul stones.

There’s a lot to sink your teeth into, and only a few weeks to do it.

You can now download Seven Knights 2 for free on iOS, Android or PC.
