Forging Box Validity Period and System Improvements
Hello Lumia Island survivors,
Since the official launch of Eternal Return, we've added a variety of Boxes and Vouchers to Forging each season. As a result, the number of item types stored in the Forging menu has steadily increased.
Recently, we’ve noticed that some boxes and vouchers are being stored long-term without being used. Over time, this can affect overall system efficiency and data management.
To help maintain a stable service environment and support smoother future content updates, we are preparing a system improvement that will introduce validity periods for certain boxes and vouchers.
However, key items like Skin Data Boxes and Research Center Data Boxes, which are regularly used and updated each season, will remain valid indefinitely and can be used freely at any time.
These improvements will be rolled out gradually so please check the details below, as this may impact items currently in your inventory.
We appreciate your continued support and will keep working to provide a smooth and stable gaming experience.

*The validity period of these items is subject to change depending on future system needs.

If such system improvements happen and once their validity ends, items such as Wild Cards will be issued instead.

[New Character] Henry Preview
Young Henry once had everything he had ever hoped for in life. Good colleagues, a caring mentor, and a loving partner. He believed this bliss and blessing would last forever.
But one day, his happiness came to an abrupt end. He fought against despair hundreds, even thousands of times, yet he was never able to save them.
From then on, his life was filled with nothing but sorrow and regret. He even thought that dying might be better than living with such pain. Still, he clung tightly to his memories and the faint hope that his wish might come true, and so he carried on with his painful life until now.
Henry now sets foot on Lumia Island, in search of what he has lost, the life he once had. The time that had once been frozen for him… will begin to move again.
