05/25/2026 Dev Blog丨Introducing Visional Worlds and Normal Worlds

Dear Metas,

Since the launch of the Visional Wheel, we have seen many players ask for a way to choose whether to experience Vision content without switching servers. This new feature is designed to do exactly that. It allows Metas to decide whether they want to take part in Vision content on the same server, instead of having to change servers just because they do or do not want to play the Visional Wheel. To better support this, after the May 27(PT) update, every server except Prismverse's Clash will include both Normal Worlds and Visional Worlds. This lets Metas choose the type of content they want to experience more freely.

Below is a detailed overview of how the feature works. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please share them with us through the Feedback Platform (Once Human Feedback Platform).

I. Visional Worlds and Normal Worlds

After the May 27(PT), 2026 update, servers will be divided into Normal Worlds and Visional Worlds. Visional events will only appear in Visional Worlds and will not appear in Normal Worlds. By switching between Normal Worlds and Visional Worlds, Metas can choose whether they want to take part in Visional events.

How to switch Worlds: Use the Worldstone to switch between available Worlds, then select either a Normal World or a Visional World.

World names will be updated based on whether they are Normal Worlds or Visional Worlds, making them easier to identify. Examples are shown below:

Normal World Name

Visional World Name

Normal World 1: "Exo"

Visional World 1: "Exo"

Normal World 2: "Phantom"

Visional World 2: "Phantom"

Normal World 3: "The Untold"

Visional World 3: "The Untold"

Notes on Switching Between Worlds

1. When switching from a Visional World to a Normal World, any status effects granted by Visional events will be removed.

2. Switching Worlds will not remove effects gained from using Vision-related items.

3. Territories can be freely moved between Normal Worlds and Visional Worlds.

Note: Prismverse's Clash is a faction-based scenario with only one World available. To keep the experience fair, Prismverse's Clash servers will still be opened under either the Visional or Normal tag.

II. World Opening Rules

2.2 Existing Servers

Servers that were already open before the May 27(PT), 2026 update will receive Worlds of the other type. The number added will depend on server activity, with at least 1 new World added.

For example, a former Normal server will receive a Visional World, while a former Visional server will receive a Normal World.

Note: Prismverse's Clash will not receive Worlds of the other type.

* Final details are subject to the live version.

 

Going forward, we may further adjust this system based on server performance and player feedback. Please keep an eye on official announcements for future updates.
