Not much has been revealed about the new Wyrmking, Bahamut, except screenshots of him. It is assumed that he will be a boss character rather than being a summon but this is yet to be confirmed.

A new area title Riverne Site #A01 is expected to have a quest where gamers will have to find out the reasons behind why Rocks have been floating in and around of the area since a recent earthquake took place. This quest will most probably be one from the Tanvnazia region.
