Journey to the West News

This week, we made significant progress on the new character, Faithful Devil: implemented most card logic, combat features, effects, and storylines. In addition to the character development, we also implemented several UI optimizations, including the Map Marker feature, which allows players to mark their desired paths on the map, making it easier to navigate the Journey to the West.

How to use Map maker: right click or long press (on mobile) on any nodes to mark on it.



Sneak Peak of Faithful Devil! Faithful Devil is a unique character whose fate is entangled deeply with Holy Monk, Wukong, and the SwineKing.

Faithful Devil is a master of manipulating the card flow with exhausting cards. He can absorb five elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth) and stored in his Skeleton Rosary. We will reveal how to use these elements next week!
