Dear Visitors,

Welcome to Identity V

To ensure smooth operation, Identity V will issue a hotfix on Thursday at 08:00 (UTC+8).

This week's maintenance will be replaced by a hotfix. The hotfix will begin on December 18, 2025, at 08:00 (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 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 postponed should there be any issues).

After 11:00 (UTC+8), players who haven't installed the latest patch will be forced out of the server, and they will be able to play again after restarting the game client (may be postponed should there be any issues).

Christmas Event

Winter Wishes

Before Christmas Eve, a fierce snowstorm left the picturesque town in ruins. Determined to keep the holiday spirit alive, the shy and timid Violetta resolved to rebuild it using her spider silk. With help from the Composer and Puppeteer, the repairs were completed just in time for Christmas Eve. Adorned with delicate silk decorations, the town radiated a unique charm. That evening, under dazzling Christmas lights, Violetta lit the town's Christmas tree herself and joined everyone in singing carols.
