Raven2 Summer Vacation Update Adds Hot Summer Sea Holy Garment

Netmarble has rolled out a new update for its dark fantasy MMORPG Raven2, and it carries the studio’s first-ever Summer Vacation event. The patch layers a swimsuit-themed Holy Garment called Hot Summer Sea, a new event dungeon called Island of Greed, and a six-boss Abyss 3F tier onto the live game, alongside three system-level overhauls and the second big content drop in a month. The Summer Vacation event is now visible on the live Summer Vacation event listing on Google Play.

The event runs across mobile and PC, and Netmarble paired it with several quality-of-life additions to Blending and Familiar management. The same patch that introduces the swimsuit costume also opens a new Abyss floor, widens Holy Garment reward pools, and ships a unified preset system for the first time.

What the Summer Vacation Event Hands Out

The Summer Vacation rollout centers on a single headline item: Hot Summer Sea, a swimsuit-themed Holy Garment graded Rare that players can claim through a dedicated check-in event. Netmarble announced the garment as part of the new update alongside the first round of Summer Vacation activities.

Beyond the check-in swimsuit, the update opens a new event dungeon named Island of Greed. That dungeon hands out two further rewards: a Heroic-grade Holy Garment called Ocean Breeze and a Heroic Familiar named Aloha Boogie. Both are summer-themed, and both sit one grade tier above the swimsuit that the check-in event unlocks.

Netmarble also layered two extra reward tracks onto the seasonal pass. Summer Vacation Mystery Gift Chests can drop a Familiar or Holy Garment of Favor with rewards graded up to Legendary, and Summer Vacation Picnic Baskets hold a different reward pool that includes the new Familiar Butter-Grilled Squid and the consumable Blood-Red Shaved Ice of Greed. The two tracks are designed to run in parallel with the swimsuit check-in so that even casual login activity keeps producing items.

Abyss 3F Adds a Boss Tier Built Around Doomsday Cry Gehenna

The same update opens a new region floor called Abyss 3F. The floor is a cross-server space: Netmarble configured it so that players can be matched against characters from other worlds within the same region, expanding the population pool beyond a single server for endgame content. The full floor runs six bosses, and the flagship encounter is Doomsday Cry Gehenna, billed as the strongest boss on the new tier.

Abyss 3F is a hunting zone rather than a single-boss raid, and the loot table reflects that. Players who clear the floor can roll on Heroic-grade rings and earrings, Ashen Weapons, Legendary accessories and armor blueprint fragments, and a key crafting material called Radiant Legendary Quintessence of Power. Netmarble’s description of the new floor emphasizes the Radiant Legendary Quintessence in particular, which the studio frames as a key material for crafting Legendary equipment at the next tier.

The full Abyss 3F loot pool covers:

• Heroic-grade rings and earrings
• Ashen Weapons
• Legendary accessories
• Legendary armor blueprint fragments
• Radiant Legendary Quintessence of Power

The new floor joins Abyss 1F and 2F as the third tier of the same endgame track. Long-time players have been waiting on a third floor since the game’s October 2025 launch, and the addition of Doomsday Cry Gehenna gives the Abyss track its first true raid-style centerpiece.

Three Systems Get a Working-Over

The Summer Vacation update ships three system changes that don’t tie to the seasonal event itself but share the same maintenance window. Each one touches a progression loop that players have asked about since launch.

The first is an addition called Amplification, layered onto the existing Blending system. Netmarble describes it as an expansion of the Blending feature rather than a replacement, and the studio’s wording positions it as a way to push item outcomes further up the rarity curve. The Blending system previously topped out at the same grade ceiling as the underlying item, so Amplification is the first mechanism that lets players spend materials to chase a higher tier than the source gear offered.

The second change is a convenience pass on Familiar Expedition. The patch adds quality-of-life updates intended to make running Familiars on autonomous expeditions less painful, with simpler claim flows and cleaner reward screens. Familiar management has been one of the more click-heavy menus in the game since launch, and the update is the first time Netmarble has explicitly framed a patch as fixing it rather than extending it.

The third and largest system change is a new feature called Integrated Preset. The Preset lets players save and switch complete loadout configurations across six menus at once: Equipment, Skills, Holy Garment, Familiar, Weapon Resonance, and Latent. Players who split time between PvE bossing and PvP arena runs have been managing six separate preset slots manually, and Integrated Preset collapses them into a single one-click swap. The official Raven2 store page frames the new systems as the headline alongside the Warlord class – see the official Raven2 store page detailing the systems.

Where This Sits in Raven2’s Update Cadence

Raven2’s Summer Vacation event is the fourth major content drop since the game’s global launch on October 22, 2025. The cadence has been steady but short, with most events running two to four months before rotating out for the next seasonal push.

The current update lands one month after the Grand Festival patch that introduced the Warlord class on May 26, 2026. Massivelyop reported on May 21 that the Warlord update would be followed by a June summer event and a July Walthar region update. The Summer Vacation patch is the first of those two follow-ups. Patch details for the Warlord release live in the 5/26 official patch notes for the Warlord update.

The full post-launch timeline to date:

1. October 22, 2025: Global launch on mobile and PC, following regional releases in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.
2. December 2025 to January 6, 2026: Snowflake Festival event dungeon, check-in rewards, and the new Ancient Fortress guild-versus-guild mode.
3. May 26, 2026: Grand Festival update, adding the Warlord class, special coupons, a Legendary Familiar, and Tower of Chaos Season 12 (raised to 50 floors).
4. June 2026: Summer Vacation event, Island of Greed dungeon, Abyss 3F, Amplification, and Integrated Preset.

The Player Numbers Behind the Patch

The Summer Vacation update lands against a backdrop of sharply shifting monthly player counts. ActivePlayer’s Raven 2 PC stats page tracks the figures from third-party data, and the shape of the curve reflects a successful launch followed by rapid natural decay.

October 2025, the launch month, peaked at 67,243 monthly players on the tracker. By December 2025 the figure had fallen to 35,731, and the four months since have settled into a tighter band: 26,340 in January 2026, 25,862 in February, 24,863 in March, and 19,363 in April. The April figure represents a month-over-month decline of 22.1% from March. Live and daily player counts on the same page sit at 397+ concurrent and 4.3K+ daily for the most recent snapshot, with a monthly aggregate of 23K+. Raven 2’s Twitch market position is currently #180, with peak viewership of 188 and an average streamer count of two over the last 30 days. The full breakdown is on the ActivePlayer Raven 2 player count page.

For context on how Netmarble’s broader financials are moving alongside the game’s player trends, see how Netmarble’s Q1 2026 crypto holdings performed.

The decline pattern is consistent with a free-to-play mobile MMORPG in its first nine months: a launch spike, a holiday-event bump in December, and a slow grind back to a baseline that the seasonal content cycles now have to defend. Whether the Summer Vacation event breaks the downward drift depends on how long Netmarble keeps the Island of Greed and the swimsuit check-in active.

Where Raven2 Is Available and What to Know Before Logging In

Raven2 is free to play on three platforms: the Apple App Store for iOS, Google Play for Android, and PC via the Epic Games Store. Netmarble lists all three as primary download channels, and the Epic Games Store page marks the game as a free-to-play title under the publisher Netmarble. The MMORPG is billed as the official sequel to Raven, also known as EvilBane: The Iron King.

The class roster at the time of this patch includes the Warlord (added May 26, 2026), Gunslinger, Deathbringer, Destroyer, Night Ranger, Divine Caster, Elementalist, Vanguard, Berserker, and Assassin. Netmarble describes the game as a brutal dark fantasy MMORPG powered by Unreal Engine, and the studio’s own messaging leans hard on the tonal contrast between the game’s violence and its seasonal events.
