Dear Detectives,
To ensure smooth operation, Identity V will issue a hotfix on August 25, 2022, at 08:00 (UTC+8).
- This week's maintenance will be replaced by a hotfix. The hotfix will begin at 08:00 on August 25, 2022 (UTC+8), during which most of the game modes will remain available, including Quick Match, Custom Mode, Events, and Logic Path. (Note: The entrance to Ranked Match will be closed temporarily during the hotfix. However, Ranked Matches already in progress will not be affected.)
- After 10:30 (UTC+8), players will have to exit the game to receive the latest patch. All game modes will be back online once the latest patch is installed (may be subject to postponement should there be any issues).
- If there are still players who haven't installed the latest patch after 11:00 (UTC+8), the server will perform a forced update. During this time, these players will be forced to log out, and they will be able to play again once the game client is restarted (may be subject to postponement should there be any issues).
Maintenance content for this week:
[Season Essence]
- Season 22 Essence 3 is now available. New costumes include the Hermit's S-rarity costume "Warden," the Prisoner's A-rarity costume "Winter Cicada," and the Priestess's A-rarity costume "Frozen Butterfly." Obtain the S-rarity costume "Warden" and receive the all-new Hunter "Hermit" for free.
- At 80/130/180 draws, players will receive the following bonus rewards: [Portrait] "Prisoner" - Winter Cicada/[Portrait] Priestess - Frozen Butterfly/[Portrait] Hermit - Warden.
New Hunter
Name: Alva Lorenz
Identity: Hermit
[External Trait] Blessing
- The Hermit's scepter holds the Eye of Darkness' power, allowing it to deal 1.2x basic attack damage, release electrical currents, generate electromagnetic fields, and bestow a positive or negative electrical charge on Survivors.
Bestow: The electromagnetic field generated by the scepter will bestow an electrical charge to Survivors without an electrical charge. Hermit can connect Cipher Machines and Exit Gates. Decoding Cipher Machines and Exit Gates connected by the Hermit will transfer a positive charge to Survivors.
Convert: Survivors can reverse their polarity once every 80 seconds after decoding a connected Cipher Machine or Exit Gate. This effect has a 50-second cooldown at the start of the match.
[External Trait] Selflessness
- The believers of Eye of Darkness advocate for selflessness and collegiality. Survivors with an electrical charge of the same polarity will share the Hermit's attack damage. Activating this effect will remove the electrical charge on all Survivors. The shared damage does not activate Terror Shock.
Tier 0 Ability [Miracle] (Cooldown: 12 seconds)
- Launches a lightning orb in the direction that the camera is facing, creating an electromagnetic field upon hitting an object. The electromagnetic field will not be formed if the target is too high up.
Electromagnetic Field: The electromagnetic field will transfer an electrical charge to Survivors without an electrical charge or pull nearby Survivors with the opposite polarity to its center and stun them for 2 seconds. When Survivors are stunned by the electromagnetic field in short successions, the third and subsequent stuns will reduce to 0.5 seconds.
Tier 0 Ability [Reverse Polarity]
- Reverses the polarity of the electrical charge generated by the electromagnetic reactor.
Tier 0 Ability [Meditation] (Cooldown: 60 seconds)
- The Hermit enters a meditative state to detect the field, during which he can connect up to 5 Cipher Machines and form a closed circuit. When Survivors decode these Cipher Machines, 50% of the decoding progress will remain in the current Cipher Machine, while 35% will be distributed evenly among the other connected Cipher Machines. The transmission itself consumes the remaining 15% of the decoding progress. The Hermit can connect the Exit Gate's circuit upon activation, giving Survivors the same transmission and consumption effect as decoding a Cipher Machine.
Tier 1 Ability [Attachment] (Cooldown: 40 seconds)
- The Hermit imbues his will to the electromagnetic globe at the top of his scepter. The electromagnetic globe will rise into the air, giving the Hermit an aerial vision of the field. When the electromagnetic orb is imbued with the Hermit's will, it can launch a lightning orb in the direction that the camera is facing.
Second Dawn: When the electromagnetic orb is imbued with the Hermit's will, it can be launched in the direction the camera is facing. The Hermit will then teleport to where the electromagnetic orb lands and release an electromagnetic field.
Tier 2 Ability [Miracle - Advanced]
- Miracle gains an extra charge.
Tier 2 Ability [Attachment - Advanced]
- Attachment gains an extra charge.

Negative Play and Cheating Penalties
It has recently come to our attention that a small number of players have been found guilty of non-participation, negative play, and cheating, all of which significantly affect the experience of other players and threaten the game's fairness. In the future, we will intensify the punishments for such behaviors in order to provide a healthy gaming environment for everyone. We also encourage you to use the in-game reporting system to provide us with feedback when encountering negative behavior. Let us work together to maintain order and integrity in the Manor.
