Cabal's upcoming patch update, Episode 10: Rising Force, will be divided into 3 parts, with the first two parts revealed to be entitled Freeze and Tower of Undead, respectively.

The third part is yet to be unveiled.

Aside from that, there are also new stats to help players improve their respective characters. There are also new skills for the Force Blader, Wizard, Force Shielder, and Force Archer.

Players will also be treated to a new Mission Battle System that will test everyone's piloting skills, as this is for PVP lovers.
