The PC anime-style action RPG SoulWorker received a large-scale update on July 9, 2026 (Thursday), implementing "Episode 3," the newest chapter of the main scenario. Alongside the new episode, the update adds new gear for players heading into the front lines and launches a third collaboration with the popular mobile game Last Origin.
"Episode 3" Story and New Mazes
The battle for Cloudream deepens further. Players can begin the long-awaited Episode 3 main story by accepting the quest "The Flower That Forges Chains" from NPC "Heitz," then entering the maze "Undertown" through NPC "Rona" in the Arcadia Realm or Etheldreydar.
Three new mazes open
The new mazes "False Utopia," "Silent Shadow," and "Frenzied Heat" are now available. Clearing them rewards the "Purple Mineral" and "Blueprint" materials used to craft new gear.
The ultimate accessories: the Desolate series
Materials obtained from the new mazes can be used to craft the powerful Desolate series of earrings, pendants, and rings. Players can obtain this top-tier gear to push past their current limits.
A dedicated site with details on the new areas, raids, NPCs, and gear added alongside "Episode 3" has also been published: https://soulworker.pmang.jp/event/58_update?lang=ja
Third Last Origin Collaboration
The popular collaboration with Last Origin has reached its third and final round.
New collaboration avatars
Costumes recreating the charm of the original bioroids are now available, including Fenrir (Chii / Haru), White Rabbit (Ephnel / Lily), Konstanze S2 (Navi / Iris), and Warg (Dana / Stella). Some packages include exclusive artwork.
Collaboration pickup A.R Cards
Popular characters such as "Oberonia Rare" and "Neodym" join as A.R Cards. The collaboration pickup gives a 70% chance of drawing a collaboration A.R Card when a ★5 appears, supporting players in battle.
Gameplay event: rewards for playing
A collaboration event with Last Origin is running as part of the third round. Collecting 30 "[EV] EP.3 Seal" event items in SoulWorker earns resources and other in-game items usable in Last Origin, including the "Commander's Journal."
