The theme of this update is "Zhong Kui" — yes, the legendary ghost-catching master. The idea came to me after watching the trailer for Black Myth: Zhong Kui — a spontaneous decision, really. By the time this update finally goes live, the Hungry Ghost Festival might already be over, but hey, it was never meant to be a massive content patch anyway. Just some ghost-hunting themed goodies to set the mood.【What's New】

We caught the hype wave, added the content, and even if the festival's over — the spirit of Zhong Kui lives on. Come catch some ghosts!—Developer Aladdin Batu
