Smilegate and Supercreative has announced that Choi Seung Hyun will be the new producer for deck-building roguelike game Chaos Zero Nightmare. A new video was released to introduce the new Chaos Zero Nightmare producer, and he shared his commitment to listening to feedback and outlining the team’s focuses and upcoming plans.
Here’s a summary of what was revealed in the video:
- Principles on Combatant Value
- Minimizing nerfs: No Combatant nerfs going forward except when absolutely necessary (e.g., bug fixes)
- Balance issues will be resolved through new content, not monster mechanics or content restrictions
- Process improvement and balance verification will be top priorities
- Improving Save Data Acquisition
- New Remote Extraction feature in Sortie enables faster Black Mass acquisition
- Core-type reward supply will be further increased
- Save Data acquisition opportunities will expand beyond Chaos to out-of-game content and events
- Goal: recreate the early post-launch environment where players could experiment with diverse Save Data using different Combatants
- Shift in Combatant Design Direction
- Competitive content like The Great Rift narrowed how Combatants/decks were used, limiting season metas.
- Therefore, going forward, the developers will expand content so multiple Combatants and decks can each be viable in their own way
- Seasons will run longer, but with a significant increase in seasonal content volume — so all metas get refreshed, explored, and used, rather than just one dominant meta
- Upcoming Schedule
- Early October: 1st Anniversary Showcase reveal
- December: Detailed roadmap for Chaos Zero Nightmare’s new direction
- Anniversary Gift
- Starting today, players can claim 10 Signal Amplification Anchors weekly for 3 weeks (30 total)
Chaos Zero Nightmare is available now for Android via Google Play, iOS via App Store, and PC via STOVE.
