Yostar has just announced a new update for its strategic mobile RPG Arknights, which introduces a new side story called Lingering Echoes. It will feature a farewell concert for Czerny, also bringing contributions from Ebenholz and Kreide. Players will also be able to get their hands on new operators, outfits, and furniture sets.

The Lingering Echoes event on Arknights is divided into two parts, ending on January 10th. The second part called Back Alleys goes live on January 3rd. The current event takes place at Leithanien, which has come under Rhodes Island’s radar because of infected people gaining the ability to heal themselves.

At the same time, Czerny, who is a popular infected composer, is hosting a farewell concert that will see Ebenholz and Kreide face some resistance as they get intrigued by their surroundings. Completing stages of the event will provide players with a number of rewards such as Headhunting Permits, Elite Materials, LMD, Battle Records, Furniture Parts, and the new Afterglow-Styled Music Room furniture set.

Czerny himself joins Arknights’ roster as a 5-star defender. He is an Arts Protector that can be obtained during this event. He is capable of dealing an immense amount of damage to enemies thanks to his abilities. Ebenholz, on the other hand, is a 6-star caster. His speciality is DPS and he's capable of storing attacks and raining them down on enemies simultaneously.

The third hero is the 5-star Medic, Hibiscus the Purifier. She is an Incantation Medic that sometimes damages enemies rather than heals allies. As an alternate version to the original Hibiscus, her skills are much sharper and more efficient.

To top it all off, there are new outfits in the store - Sport For All for Flametail, Light Gun Adjuster for Aosta, and Trendsetting Player for Kirara.
