Hello, this is the "Project SEKAI" development team. It will soon be two years since we launched our service on September 30, 2020. We are able to celebrate our 2nd anniversary thanks to all of you who support Project SEKAI on a daily basis. The entire development team would like to thank you for your support.
We will continue to make every effort to make Project SEKAI more enjoyable in the future; thank you for your continued support.
The "v2.3.0" update, which will be released just before the 2nd Anniversary, will include a major overhaul of Character Ranks, the implementation of the new "Character Archive" feature, reduction in app size, as well as a full live bonus notification. We will also be making many adjustments to the balance of various content.
Regarding "Character Ranks and Character Missions Adjustments", additional information has been added in each section regarding the character EXP that can be earned.[update 1]

Character Rank and Character Missions Adjustments
While "Character Rank" should be an indicator how much you have devoted to a particular character in the game, some stats, such as the acquisition of cards and Another Vocals, were not tied to Character Rank.
Therefore, we are adding the following new Character Missions.
Character Mission additions
| Mission | Maximum times | EXP |
|---|---|---|
| Collect a certain number of [character]'s cards | 60 | +2 EXP (all stages) |
| Collect a certain number of [character]'s Another Vocals | 15 | +1 EXP (all stages) |
| Level up [character]'s area item a certain number of times | 75 (Hatsune Miku) 15 (everyone else) |
+1 EXP (all stages) |
| Level up [unit]'s area item a certain number of times | 75 (VIRTUAL SINGER) 15 (other units) |
+1 EXP (all stages) |
| Level up [attribute] area item a certain number of times | 150 | +1 EXP (all stages) |
Character Mission adjustments
"Skill level" and "Master Rank" missions will be divided into two types:
- 1☆, 2☆, 3☆
- Birthday (BD), anniversary (AN), 4☆
| Mission | Type | Maximum times | EXP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level up the skill of [character] a certain number of times | BD/AN/4☆ | 90 | +1 EXP (under 30 times) +2 EXP (over 32 times) |
After reaching 30 times, EXP is granted every 2 times (as opposed to 1) |
| 1☆/2☆/3☆ | 110 | +1 EXP (all times) | After reaching 40 times, EXP is granted every 2 times After reaching 60 times, EXP is granted every 3 times After reaching 90 times, EXP is granted every 4 times | |
| Level up the Master Rank of [character] a certain number of times | BD/AN/4☆ | 140 | +1 EXP (under 30 times) +2 EXP (over 32 times) |
After reaching 20 times, EXP is granted every 2 times |
| 1☆/2☆/3☆ | 140 | +1 EXP (all times) | After reaching 60 times, EXP is granted every 2 times After reaching 70 times, EXP is granted every 4 times After reaching 120 times, EXP is granted every 5 time |
* Regarding the "skill level" and "Master Rank" 1☆, 2☆, and 3☆ cards.
The amount of character EXP that can be obtained at the maximum level (skill level: 45 times, Master Rank level: 75 times) will be reduced by up to 3 and 9, respectively. However, adjustments to the character missions system allows you to earn more character EXP overall, despite the reduction in possible EXP from leveling up skill levels and Master Ranks.
Character Mission achievement condition and maximum level adjustments
Achievement requirements for the following character missions will be relaxed. In addition, the maximum level of all character missions will be increased across the board.
| Mission | Before adjustment | After adjustment | EXP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Players with [character] as the leader | 11600 12200 12900 13700 14500 15300 16100 17000 |
11500 12000 12500 ...[character missions 1] 20000 |
+1 EXP (all stages) | |
| Costumes for [character] | 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 |
55+ (achievement earned for every 2 costumes) 63+ (...every 3 costumes) 75+ (...every 4 costumes) 91+ (...every 5 costumes) 111+ (...every 6 costumes) 135+ (...every 7 costumes) 163+ (...every 8 costumes) 195+ (...every 9 costumes) 240+ (...every 10 costumes) 360 |

- ↑ achievement every 500 times from 11000 until 20000
| Mission | Before adjustment | After adjustment | EXP |
|---|---|---|---|
| View [character] Area Conversations | 50 | 200 | +1 EXP (all stages) |

| Have [character] sent to the Waiting Room | 300 | 400 | +1 EXP (all stages) |
| Read [character] 1st Side Story | 30 | 35 | +1 EXP (all stages) |
| Read [character] 2nd Side Story | 30 | 35 | +1 EXP (all stages) |
Character Rank EXP will be recalculated at the same time that maintenance is conducted. As a result, Character Rank EXP/rank will be increased from the current level. In addition, the maximum rank will be increased to 100.
Along with the introduction of the new "Character Archive" feature described below, the UI of the character mission details, progress, and rewards will be drastically changed.
* After the update, the values of Character Rank EXP/rank will be automatically recalculated. The rewards for the increase in ranks will result in a combination of direct rewards like a title, stamp, increase in Challenge Live slots, etc., or rewards sent as a gift through the Present Box. The date and time of the compensation may vary from player to player.
Character Archive
A new feature, "Character Archive", will be added to allow you to view character related content in one place. At the same time, we have made the relationship between this feature and Character Rank simple: filling up the Character Archive increases your Character Rank.
The Character Archive will also display unacquired content, allowing you to check the status of various content acquisitions. We hope you will make use of this feature to collect various content.
The content that can be viewed in the Character Archive as follows:
- Cards [character archive 1][character archive 2][character archive 3]
- Costumes (costumes, accessories, hairstyles)
- Another Vocals
- Area Conversations [character archive 4]
- Stamps
- EXP / Achievements [character archive 5]
- ↑ Cards who are available for training are displayed separately (before and after training).
- ↑ Illustrations of cards who have been acquired can be viewed in full size.
- ↑ Some cards who are limited to collaborations or are currently unavailable will only appear in the list if they are acquired. Those cards will be added to the list once they becomes available in the future.
- ↑ Area conversations that are only available for a limited time (collaborations, seasonal, April Fool's Day, etc.) will not appear in the list, regardless of their acquisition status.
- ↑ Character missions other than the 5 main ones can be viewed here.
In addition, "Character Profiles" which were previously displayed in the menu of the "Member TOP" screen, will be viewable from the Character Archive.
Mirror Mode
"Mirror mode" is one of the requests we've received for the rhythm game, so we've added a new mode that allows you to play charts flipped horizontally. We believe that you will enjoy this feature, as it is different from the normal chart, so please try it.
The default setting for this feature is "OFF", so you will need to go into [オプション (Options)] > [ライブ (Live)] > [ライブ設定 (Live Settings)] > [ミラー譜面 (Mirror Mode)] to enable this feature.
App size reduction
Project SEKAI has a system that reduces the number of times data downloads are needed when playing by saving various data such as songs, MVs, and illustrations. However, this has caused the size of the app to be bloated. In order to solve this problem, we will add an optional function that limits the amount of MV data that can be stored.
In detail, for each 3DMV, 2DMV, and original MV, you can apply 5 levels of storage settings:
- No storage
- 10 songs
- 30 songs
- 50 songs
- All songs
These are available through [オプション (Options)] > [システム (System)] > [(データ管理) Data Management] > [MVデータ (MV Data)].
In addition, we will also change the data management method of the app so that some data that is used infrequently will be deleted from the application after a certain period of time has passed. The first time data will be deleted is when you log into the app after updating it. Therefore, please note that it might take some time to log in.
*Re-downloading is required when using unsaved MVs or data. Please carefully check the communication environment you are using before playing.
Improved character motion during Virtual Lives
We have improved character motions such as having the characters face each other while talking as well as adding blinking to make characters look more natural. The characters' movements have also been altered to look more natural. The blinking update has been applied to all Virtual Live performances, however, the orientations of the characters' faces will only apply to Virtual Lives released after the game's 2nd Anniversary.
Live bonus notification
As requested by many players in the "#Proseka Opinion Box", there will be a new function that notifies players when their live bonus is fully recovered. This function is set to "ON" by default and can be changed by changing the option in [オプション (Options)] > [システム (System)] > [ライブボーナス全回復通知 (Live Bonus Full Recovery Notification)].
Additional Kizuna Rank combinations
A total of 43 Kizuna Rank combinations will be added. Please note that these additions will be added around the end of October.
Kizuna Rank combinations will be added sequentially in the future according to the stories and relationships between characters. In addition, Kizuna EXP will not be accumulated in advance even if you play a live with a specific combination before the Kizuna Rank for that combination is released.
Sekai-specific VIRTUAL SINGERs in Kizuna Rank titles
For Kizuna Ranks between an original character and a virtual singer, it will be possible to switch between the default virtual singer and the Sekai-specific variant of that virtual singer. This means that Ichika can be paired with Leo/need Miku instead of default Miku.
When setting titles in the profile, the desired display can be set at [称号表示確認 (Title Display Confirmation)] > [キャラクター配置選択 (Select Character)].
