Nexon (CEO Lee Jung-hun) announced on the 26th that its subsidiary Nexon Games (CEO Park Yong-hyun) has introduced the July update 'EPISODE 2. Crumbling Boundary' to the MMORPG 'HIT2', which includes 'Inter Brawl'.

'Inter Brawl' is a large-scale PvP (player-versus-player) content where users within the world (server group) can gather and compete their skills, and it is held every Saturday at 9 PM. Anyone who meets a certain level from 5 servers can participate, and the world's strongest will be determined through fierce battles over a total of 4 rounds. Various rewards are given according to the points earned by defeating the opponent in each round, and you can craft up to Ancient-grade equipment by collecting the main reward item, 'Superior Emblem of Victory'.

New rules regarding boss raids have also been added to the participatory voting system 'Altar of the Coordinator'. 'Altar of the Coordinator' is a system that determines various effects to be applied to the server through user voting. With this update, one of the effects, 'Boss Monster Respawn Time Reduction' or 'Boss Loot Drop Increase', is applied to each server according to the weekly voting results, and the revival effect among the existing rules has been converted to allow both on-the-spot revival and instant revival at all times to improve convenience.

A new system 'Star of Blessing' that supports the gradual growth of characters and a dedicated dungeon 'Golden Sand Beach' linked to it will be introduced on August 2nd. If you defeat monsters at 'Golden Sand Beach', you can acquire the 'Faint Light Star Fragment' item, and use it in 'Star of Blessing' to summon 'Stars' with various buff effects to receive stat enhancement effects.

In addition, an Ancient equipment crafting recipe has been added, and 'Flame Crystal', 'Thunder Crystal', and 'Ice Crystal' have been newly introduced as crafting materials. These items can be obtained as rewards when defeating boss monsters. In addition, reflecting user feedback, convenience improvements have been made to the existing 'Brawl' and 'Exploration Journal', applying updates across various areas within the game.

To commemorate the 'EPISODE 2. Crumbling Boundary' update, Nexon will additionally provide 10 'Mysterious Class/Pet 11x Summon Tickets' as a special reward to the 1st place user in each world who wins the final victory in the first 'Inter Brawl' to be held on the 29th. In addition, the 'Boundary Special Summon Ticket Festival' event will be held, offering the opportunity to purchase 'Brilliant Class/Pet 11x Summon Tickets' with 'Gold' every day at the in-game store until August 2nd.

Various events are also being operated to revitalize guild operations within 'HIT2'. Rewards such as guild characteristic points, contribution points, and guild coins that can be obtained when completing guild missions will be doubled until August 2nd, and among the guilds that post guild member recruitment posts on the official community, 6 guilds will be selected and awarded up to 'Hero Class Challenge Summon Ticket' according to their ranking.

Meanwhile, Nexon plans to implement a large-scale update including the 8th new class, Boosting Server Season 2, class renewal, and a new skill system in August to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the release of 'HIT2', and will unveil a 1st anniversary festival event with a more diverse composition.
