Dear Visitors,
Welcome to Identity V!
To ensure smooth operation, Identity V will issue a hotfix on Thursday at 08:00 (UTC+8).
This week's maintenance will be replaced by a hotfix. The hotfix will begin on October 22, 2026, at 08:00 (UTC+8), during which most game modes and features will remain available, including but not limited to: Quick Match, Custom Mode, Events, and Logic Path. (Note: The entrance to Rank will be closed during the hotfix. However, Ranked Matches already in progress will not be affected.)
After 10:30 (UTC+8), players will have to exit the game to receive the latest patch. All game modes will be back online once the latest patch is installed (may be postponed should there be any issues).
After 11:00 (UTC+8), players who haven't installed the latest patch will be forced out of the server, and they will be able to play again after restarting the game client (may be postponed should there be any issues).
