Identity V, an asymmetric 1v4 horror game for mobile, is celebrating its 2nd anniversary in style. NetEase Games went into detail about all the new content that is being added for this special occasion.

First, and probably the most important for players, a new survivor has been added to the world of Identity V. Dubbed the Entomologist, Melly Pliny is a mysterious individual who has had multiple identities throughout her life. Melly’s research on insects has garnered her fame, but her appearance has led to many questions. This is due to the oversized gauze hat that she always wears, which stops anyone from being able to see her face.

True to her name, the Entomologist has a unique set of insect-themed abilities at her disposal. One of her external traits, Insects Research, can summon swarms of insects to reduce a hunter’s movement speed, while Mixed Reagent give a boost to your team’s vaulting speed. On the flip side, the Entomologist’s potential trait Exotic Odor will cause her to be visible for longer to hunters, even when she break line of sight.

Coming alongside this new survivor is the themed event Atropos’ Ropes. Featuring a new tale separate from the main story, players will be taken to the mysterious Golden Rose Theatre. Players must investigate and collect clues by both signing in daily and successfully completing a variety of battle quests. Doing so will open up more of the story, letting players discover what happened in the theater. As a reward for participating, you’ll have the opportunity to unlock costumes, in-game currency, and more. Costumes themed on the Golden Rose Theatre will also be available later in the event.

Atropos’ Ropes will run from July 2nd to July 31st, but there is one more part of the anniversary for players to look forward to. During the first three weeks of the event, July 2nd to July 23rd, all characters will be free to use. If there’s a character you’ve always wanted to try before buying, now is the time to do so.

Identity V has had a multitude of events during its relatively short life. This includes crossovers with both Danganronpa and Persona 5. The game is available for free on both the App Store and Google Play.
