I am just so stressed out by this, we’re supposed to be announcing today. Maybe I am Jim? Maybe that’s who I’ve been? I’ve not felt like myself… Please don’t include this in the press release, I just needed somebody to vent to… – Jim

Today’s NGS Headline revealed the beginning of the 3rd Anniversary Campaign, new Leciel Exploration updates, sweet Build Parts, Parkour challenges, and more.
3rd Anniversary Campaign, Halpha’s Super Origin Festival, Kicks off on April 24
Starting April 24th, a colossal campaign is stomping your way to commemorate the 3rd Anniversary of NGS in June – Halpha’s Super Origin Festival! This tale woven on Planet Halpha will soon celebrate its third anniversary! As always, credit goes to all the ARKS Defenders out there. To express our gratitude, we have prepared some super phabulous campaigns, including Limited-time Events and new in-game content.
The NGS 3rd Anniversary event will be held across Planet Halpha. In addition to Central City’s dazzling decorations, players will find changes in all the regions. Mischief Symbols will appear in the Exploration Sectors of each region, so be sure to enjoy the variety of landscapes in different locations as you seek them out.
Xiemi will be the navigator for this seasonal event, looking perfect in her hakama. She is investigating some anomalies happening in Halpha, so see what Xiemi has to say and help her out. The 9-star-Rarity Aeoni Dekelion weapon series will be available at Xiemi’s Seasonal Points Exchange Shop. Weapons exchanged for here have a +80 Enhancement Level from the start, and the Potential has been unlocked up to Lv. 6, giving them 6 slots’ worth of Augments, so players be able to make use of them right away.
In addition to the reappearance of the Anni Rappy at the NGS 3rd Anniversary Event, the new Anni Emperappy and Anni Great Rappy will also flap their way over for the festivities. The NGS 3rd Anniversary Event will feature the Limited-time Urgent Quest: Happy Rappy Rumble: Stia.

Leciel Exploration Updates Begin on April 10
Starting April 10th, a new gameplay element will be added to Leciel Exploration. In addition to enemy level increases, there will be items that enhance Player Ability Buffs, some allowing for consecutive use of Photon Blasts, and others that further empower Throw Actions. Both offer exhilarating power-ups. A new DOLLS enemy called Giruva will appear in the new Trial Giruva Diversion, relentlessly pursuing players with its eerie appearance. Defeat Giruva to get powerful Ability Enhancements but be careful as your options to do so are limited. Additionally, if players get caught by Giruva it’ll unleash an incredibly powerful attack, so be sure to stay alert and exercise caution. If players destroy all the Giruva Cores on the field, they will have a chance to counterattack, so beware!
In addition, new Ruinus boss enemies are waiting for players in the final area; Ruine Vibras, with its large horns, and Ruine Exegul, which manipulates gravity. To help against these powerful enemies, a new 10-star Rarity weapon series called Xover will be introduced. Weapons from the Xover series not only restore HP when you use Photon Blasts, but also possess three different Potentials depending on the weapon type. Multi-weaponize them and find the best combination that suits your play style. In addition to this, Growthment II and LC-type Augment Capsules will drop in the updated Leciel Exploration.
In conjunction with the Leciel Exploration update, All-Ship Matchmaking will be available, which will allow you to be matched with ARKS from other Ships. By enabling All-Ship Matchmaking under Matchmaking Word Settings, players can play Leciel Exploration with ARKS from different Ships. In All-Ship Matchmaking, any Meseta or items obtained within the quest will be acquired as if they were obtained on your normal Ship. By enabling All-Ship Matchmaking, players will not be able to utilize Alliance or friend features specific to their Ship. Additionally, features such as Urgent Quest notifications and Live Boosts will be turned off. At this time, All-Ship Matchmaking will only be available for Leciel Exploration, but the NGS Team plans to gradually expand the list of eligible quests in future updates.
Tech Arts Customization will offer additional PAs and Techniques. This update will include one PA for each weapon type, plus Ice, Thunder, and Dark Techniques. This excludes Wands and Talis weapons.
Major Target Suppression Mission: Planetcrusher Blitz
The new High-difficulty Quest: Major Target Suppression Mission: Planetcrusher Blitz will be available to play from April 17th. The Dark Falz Dalion that appears in this quest is an extremely powerful Starless that attacks the ARKS together with its clones. As in previous Major Target Suppression Missions, up to four players can participate, and you will fail the quest after a set number of incapacitations. Prep like a top chef and slice and dice this new threat with your friends!
The new 11-star-Rarity Wingard weapon series is a drop for this quest. The Wingard series Potential increases damage to enemies for a set time after hitting them with a Photon Blast. In conjunction with this quest, Major Target Suppression Mission Title Tasks will also be added. Weekly Tasks have also been updated, with the Target Quest changed from Halphia Lake Interception Part II to Planetcrusher Blitz, and a new Task for Planetcrusher Blitz from NPC Leah May. We dare you to complete them all!
Sweet New Build Parts
Starting April 17th, an assortment of sweets-themed furniture and retro furniture will be added to Build Parts so players can spice up their Creative Space or Alliance Space.
Parkour Master Trainia
If you’ve been climbing the walls this winter, we’ve got the perfect ARKS Records for you! It’s for the Parkour Master Trainia for Solo and All Classes. Put on some grippy shoes and go for the high score!

Lead a nation of your design through a history shaped by your choices in Millennia, a new 4x historical strategy game from C Prompt Games and Paradox Interactive. Guide your people from the stone to a near future, maybe taking detours through historical ages of plague or steampunk technology in Millennia, available now.
Define history; turn by turn and age by age. In Millennia, you start with a blank slate on which to write a new society and culture. Choose traits and government forms as you accumulate power through a variety of domains (government, war, art, etc.), using these powers to expand and exploit the world around you. Develop a production chain to transform common resources into valuable goods, and then trade the surplus to a distant settlement, boosting its population and production. Define your nation as a land of warriors, explorers or learners as you adopt new traits over time.
Features of Millennia include:
History and Alternate History: Lead your people through ten dynamic ages, steer your timeline into the uncharted alternate history of a Variant Age or the danger and opportunity of a Crisis Age. Each Age involves unique rules, units, buildings, goods, and challenges, determining the course of the world for all players, not just your corner of it, potentially altering the path of history.
National Spirits: Decide what your Nation is famous for by selecting National Spirits and using the bonuses they provide to customize your nation to better achieve your goals. Combine multiple National Spirits as you progress through history to craft a unique civilization in every game.
Develop a Strong Society: Invest in six different Domains that influence the focus of your Nation – Exploration, Government, Warfare, Diplomacy, Engineering, and Arts. The better you provide for each, the more your Nation can make use of unique Domain Powers. Everything from claiming territory, to adopting new governments, to spreading religion, to reinforcing Armies flows from mastery of the Domains.
Deep Economy: Design an economic supply chain to support your strategy. Gather raw materials, then build Improvements to refine basic Goods like logs or iron into lumber, paper, books, ingots, tools, or weapons – specialized products that allow you to improve and adjust your economic engine to suit whatever history sends your way.
Combined Arms Warfare: Customize your approach to war by combining individual Units into powerful Armies. Each Unit influences the capabilities of its Army, allowing you to employ a vast number of varied strategies. Once in conflict, watch the action unfold through the Combat Viewer, where battles play out and provide details on how different Armies perform.
And more: discover natural landmarks, build the Pyramids, compete in the space race, finance expeditions, survive plagues, use diplomacy to your advantage, deal with chaos events, unleash innovations, deal with alien visitors, govern underwater cities, manage air combat, and master a host of other historical-themed content.
Millennia is available now for the suggested retail price of $39.99/£34.99/€39.99.

Misc Games – the skilled team behind the successful titles Fishing: Barents Sea and Fishing: North Atlantic – have recently announced that its new title, Ships at Sea, will be launching in Early Access on May 9 on Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games store. Additionally, the PC version of Ships at Sea will be finalized and launched alongside the console versions, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, in 2026.
Ships at Sea is the culmination of creativity, drive, and innovation. Misc Games’ team of passionate industry professionals has taken the charm of the previous Fishing franchise and the feedback of their equally passionate community and created an all-new franchise, starting with this game.
Set in the unforgiving Norwegian Sea and around the harbors of Lofoten, Norway, Ships at Sea takes captains on their most realistic boating experience yet. Misc Games has harnessed NVIDIA’s proprietary WaveWorks water shader and Unreal Engine 5 to deliver the most striking, immersive experiences and cinematic-quality water simulation imaginable. Now, with multiplayer capabilities, players can team up in a maximum party of four and complete various tasks and necessities.
Misc Games has teamed up with various boating and fishing equipment brands such as Breeze, PingMe (from Ocean Space Acoustics), Lorentzen Hydraulikk, and Østbornholms Kutterservice to provide the most realistic, dynamic overall experience for enthusiasts on both fronts: fishing and boating.
As soon-to-be skippers traverse the vast unknown of the Norwegian Sea, they can expect a slew of features to become available through the Early Access phase of the game, such as crewmates being able to share resources and items and stock up on essential supplies for themselves and their crew. Cast a line and maintain the boats, purchase tools or equipment in the store, upgrade ships, and refuel ships at one of the fuel stations.
Through a series of skill levels, players can build and improve their abilities. Skippers on cargo ships can use their skills to deliver goods and materials. For those who want to enhance their engineering skills, a career on service ships provides the ideal opportunity to gain experience in performing repairs and mechanical work. For those with angling on their mind, the commercial fishing career is an exciting route that teaches various fishing techniques, resource management strategies, and catch distribution tactics. Players can also take on all three careers if they’re up to the task since Ships at Sea doesn’t lock players into one career path.
Ships at Sea is a unique and ultimate simulation game for maritime enthusiasts. With stunning graphics, new gameplay features, and a multiplayer mode, players can experience the thrill of the high seas like never before.
