What's New in the Latest Version 2.1.1
Last updated on Nov 4, 2021
Old Versions
Cytoid 2.1 is now released!
After a long year of silence, we are excited to bring you a new Cytoid update!
◆ New event: Edge of Consciousness
We collaborated with illustrator 抑制意识 to bring her original characters and their stories to Cytoid. This event presents 10 songs of various genres, including a few from last year's Cytoid Open Submission, 3 new characters and 9 event-exclusive badges.
◆ New system: Character EXP
We know Cytoid is your favorite RPG game, so you can now level up your characters! The EXP you get is proportional to the difficulty of the chart as well as your performance. But you may wonder, why? Well...
◆ New system: Character awakening
Some characters now have an awaken form (or elite form, whatever you want to call it) which can be unlocked when they reach a certain level. In Cytoid 2.1, four characters can be awakened: Shiro, Kuro, Threose and Hancho. You can check out the specific requirements in the character selection menu!
◆ New feature: Event progress tracker
Finally! You can now track your progress on the events by tapping on the "View Objectives" button on the event selection screen. It's that simple.
◆ New feature: Batch downloading/deleting levels
Another long-awaited feature. Long press on level cards to enter the multi-selection mode. Then you can easily download or delete levels at once!
