After weeks of previews, the Fall Update for Bless Unleashed is finally here. It offers the new Arena Challenge known as The Stormbringer as well as the new Abyssal Dungeon, which is The Dreamscale Ruins. A Guild Trials system is also being introduced plus the usual quality of life improvements. The new update is live for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Guild Trials
The addition of Guild Trials to Bless Unleashed means there’s going to be Guild Achievements. With this, Bless Unleashed hopes that it’s going to encourage players to not only enjoy playing together, but more importantly, work to a common goal.
Guild Achievements are earned only when working with fellow guild members, regardless of what that work may be. It can be something as simple as gathering materials up to dangerous endeavors like hunting lethal field bosses.

- Added additional spawn locations for Ancient Treasure Chests in:

PvP Changes
The Fall Update also adds the Regular Season Ranking System to the game. The ranking is computed based on total battlefield XP with a “title” reward corresponding to the ranking given once the season ends. There’s going to be five stages.
