Identity V Patch Notes History

Identity V is NetEase's asymmetric 1v4 survival horror game — one Hunter against four Survivors decoding ciphers in the gothic Oletus Manor, built on Behaviour Interactive's Dead by Daylight formula. Content arrives in ~70-day seasons with new Essences, costumes and characters, and its collection of limited and crossover costumes drives the account market. Every major update below has a short summary, what it means for buyers where it matters, and links to the official notes.

  1. Season 44Latest

    Wild Strawberry Essence + Feast of the New Moon

    • Season 44 opened after the September 10, 2026 maintenance: Essence 1 is headlined by the S-rarity Doctor costume 'Wild Strawberry', with A-rarity Barmaid 'Lost in Bloom' and 'Dentist' 'Fading Glaze', a Logic Path reset and new Rank Treasures.
    • Mid-season drops followed: the 'Chasing Light' Athletic Games costumes on September 17, and the new Survivor 'Prodigy' (Kai) with the White Cat Legend crossover return on September 30.
    • The Halloween event 'Feast of the New Moon' begins October 22, and the Season 44 Essence package sale runs until the November 19 maintenance — the expected Season 45 start.
    For buyers

    Limited and crossover costumes are the account market: a season's Essence S-tiers and crossover pieces (Persona 5, Death Note, Danganronpa) set resale values, and they are easiest to value while the season is live — once Season 45 lands, Season 44 pieces become fixed-supply.
