Netmarble announced on the 27th that it has updated its collectible anime RPG 'Tower of God: NEW WORLD' with a new SSR+ teammate, '[FUG Elder] Khel Hellam,' and launched commemorative events.

The new teammate 'Khel Hellam' is a red-attribute magic-type ranged dealer. Skills include 'Guiding Arrow,' which reduces enemy defense and pulls them into one spot; 'Power of the Ancient Species,' which grants an immortal state; and the ultimate skill 'Light of Thousand Deaths,' which fires explosive arrows. To celebrate the update, Netmarble is hosting the 'Khel Hellam Festival,' which offers Suspendium and SSR+ teammates, and a Descent Summon event where players can obtain '[Head of the Family] Gustang' until June 10. New costumes for Xia Xia, such as 'Cheer Up Baby,' and a bingo event have also been added.

The update also includes balance adjustments for 'Gustang.' His survivability has been enhanced, with damage taken during his ultimate skill reduced by 90% and the addition of 10 hit-based shields; he also gains 100% increased accuracy and additional damage effects when using skills. Additionally, the conditions for switching to the low-memory response process have been eased, and the storage capacity for Ignition Weapon presets has been expanded from 80 to 100. The Trial Area has been extended to include 4-deck battles starting from floor 2001.

A new alliance content, the weekly boss battle 'Corrupted Jigena,' has also been unveiled. In this mode, players compete to achieve high scores against a boss that can only be challenged using a designated attribute each week. Black Market Tickets are awarded based on the damage dealt, and players earn subjugation points to generate alliance buffs, with tallies finalized every Monday at 9:00 AM. The boss uses skills to remove ally buffs and possesses a passive effect that weakens allies as time passes.

Netmarble N2 PD Jung Eon-san announced future service plans via a developer note. Netmarble has begun development on an official Windows version, aiming for a release within the year to coincide with the game's first anniversary. Furthermore, the maximum level for SSR+ Shinsu Links will be expanded from 30 to 50 in June, and an Ignition Weapon system overhaul is scheduled for late June, allowing multiple characters to equip a single Ignition Weapon preset simultaneously. A patch to strengthen the Duel Core system will be applied on June 10.
