Bluepoch Games celebrated the anniversary of Reverse: 1999 with a special livestream, unveiling the upcoming Version 2.8 update featuring beautifully animated L2D chibi models for new units. Titled Paradise Regained, this update commemorates the game's second anniversary.
Events Span Late September Through October
Paradise Regained introduces four new 6-star characters to Reverse: 1999. Leading the Anniversary Limited Banner, "The Myth at Her Fingertips," is Nautika, who arrives with two distinct forms, each equipped with unique skills.
Additionally, players who log in during the anniversary period will receive Urich for free. First appearing in version 1.9, Urich leads the Laplace cryptography team and is an awakened ferrofluid contained within a glass tank.
Phase 2 brings Moldir, a lieutenant from the Former Zeno Sentinel Unit. She is a soldier caught between her sense of duty and personal emotions, often found watching enemy ships on the horizon. Watch the preview video below.

All players receive 30 free summons, with new players eligible for up to 100 summons plus a selectable 6-star character. A free 6-star portrait from the standard pool is also available, alongside another selectable 6-star via the Timely Reinforcements event from Version 2.7.
