[h2]Intro[/h2]
Greetings, Runners!
It's hard to believe that it has already been almost a month since the Official Release of "Brazen Blaze." We hope you're enjoying the new Runners, LEVIN and CHILLOUT, and the new stage, Paris. With the Official Release, many new players have joined the game. We owe this to the support from everyone since the Open Beta. Thank you very much!

The first ACT update for "Brazen Blaze" is arriving tomorrow. In Season 1 ACT: 2 starting tomorrow, the new Runner HAVOC and the new Sub Weapon Air Mine will be added. For introductions to these, please check out our official Discord and official X. In thisPresidential Bulletin, we would like to focus on the updates to the visual effects that will be added in ACT:2. These effects aim to make your daily gameplay more enjoyable and comfortable.


[h2]New introductory scene[/h2]
The highlight of the visual effect update is the addition of an introductory scene to the tutorial. Before starting the tutorial that you played when you first launched the game, a new scene has been added. In this scene, you will be RIOT receiving their Gauntlet from LEGACY to participate in the Presidential War.

*This is the first public reveal of RIOT’s bare hands!

With a few exceptions, all Runners' Gauntlets are provided by LEGACY's Magnaplex Corporation. This scene is crucial for understanding how Gauntlets are equipped and what the overall world of Brazen Blaze is like.

Players who have already completed the tutorial can view this new scene by replaying the tutorial from the Training Room. We encourage everyone to check it out!


[h2]Loading screen tips[/h2]
Loading screen tips will also be added.
While we continue to work on reducing load times, we've implemented this feature to make better use of the time spent waiting.


We've received feedback from many players that there isn’t anything to do during loading times. With the addition of these tips, we hope to gradually provide more insights into the game and the relationships between Runners.


[h2]Runner unlock animations[/h2]
Animations will be updated for unlocking new Runners.


Since opportunities to unlock Runners are not very frequent, we aimed for a flashy and catchy animation to make those moments stand out.
Please take note when unlocking the new Runner, HAVOC!


[h2]Title logo animation[/h2]
Additionally, we've added an animation to the title logo when the game starts up.


Since this is something you'll see every time you launch the game, we've aimed to create a short but exciting animation to boost your excitement right from the start.


[h2]Conclusion[/h2]
This time, we've introduced updates on the visual effects being added in "Brazen Blaze" Season 1 ACT: 2. We aim to make your daily gameplay experience more enjoyable by adding and updating various effects.
In particular, the new tutorial introductory scene allows you to see the previously unseen interior of the Gauntlet. We hope you take the time to check it out.

We continue to welcome your feedback. Please share your opinions with us on Discord!
