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 January 29, 2026, 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).
Engine Update
After this week’s update, visitors using the old engine Package must update the game client to the latest version to log in normally. We will once again distribute 10 “Memory Spheres - Previous Seasons” to all players as an update reward. Thank you for your support.
