XD Games is officially charging up the virtual city of Etheria today. The highly anticipated Season SS4, titled “Loong’s Thunder: Shattered Dawn,” has officially launched, bringing a storm of new content, characters, and a massive overhaul to the game’s progression systems.
Players have plenty of time to climb the ranks and master the new mechanics, as the season is scheduled to run from today through June 10, 2026.
A New Era of Power: Tactical Imprints
The headline feature of SS4 is the introduction of the Tactical Imprint system. This brand-new progression path allows Hyper-Linkers to significantly boost their Animus’ combat capabilities.
- Customizable Slots: Each Tactical Imprint features passive traits and four fixed sockets.
- Component Slotting: Players can insert new “Components” into these sockets to fine-tune offensive, defensive, and vitality stats.
- Shareable Tech: These imprints aren’t locked to a single unit; they can be shared across different Animuses and saved within gear presets for maximum tactical flexibility.
The Hyper Kernel: Your Automated Factory
To fuel these new upgrades, XD Games has introduced the Hyper Kernel. Think of this as your personal smart-factory and resource hub.
- Resource Production: Use the Hypercore to unlock buildings that produce Imprints, Components, and Energy Crystals.
- Expeditions: Dispatch your Animus on regional missions to bring back rare loot.
- Smart Automation: As you upgrade the system, it evolves into a fully automated factory that collects materials and supplies for you, even while you’re away.
New Faces Join the Roster
SS4 introduces five new Animus to the fray. The season kicks off with two powerhouses available now:
- Xuan Chi (SSR): A defence-scaling DPS who manipulates the Turn Meter for himself and his allies, ensuring your team always has the initiative.
- Rimeheart Dinah (SR): A dedicated Supporter who thrives on the frontline, absorbing damage for her teammates before striking back with her signature giant blade.
Coming Soon: Keep an eye out for Luvia and Qano arriving on April 30, followed by the test subject Sharon on May 21.
Welcome to the Sprint Server
For those who have been waiting for the perfect time to start their journey in Etheria, the Sprint Server is now open. This dedicated server is designed to help new players catch up fast with:
- 14-Day Double Drop Event: Get twice the loot for your first two weeks.
- Hyper Camp Missions: Specialised tasks that reward Training Points for massive growth.
- Beginner Protection: A revamped matchmaking system in the Summit Arena that prevents new players from facing Level 100 veterans until they are ready.
Login Rewards & Gifts
To celebrate the launch, players can log in for 7 days during the Loong’s Thunder event to receive a Quantum Cipherbox, which allows you to select one Anima SSR Animus of your choice (from the pre-March 19 roster).
Redemption Code: Use code INUQXXXLIGPU (valid through April 15) for a special SS4 celebration gift!
