This signifies a fresh start and a steadfast commitment from Hotta Studio and PWG to the future of ToF. Over the past two months, the team has actively listened to the community's feedback, and has been deeply moved by the passion and high expectations of players.
ToF is more than just a game—it is a cherished dream for Hotta Studio and a promise to our players. We aim to make this immersive, fantasy-filled game world not just a haven but also a place players take pride in calling their own. As we move forward, the team remains dedicated to refining and elevating the gaming experience, opening a new chapter for ToF.

Q: Are there any rewards planned after the operations transition?
A: Absolutely! To express our gratitude for your continued support, we've prepared a range of special rewards as part of the ToF Homecoming Journey, alongside the previously announced transfer compensation.
① TOFers, Assemble! Join the TOF Heat Up the Transfer event on the webpage to claim multiple rewards, including a limited SSR of your choice (1 out of 4), up to 30 draws, and more! Plus, get a chance to win the latest Lin - Summer Shade figurine.

Please stay tuned to ToF's official SNS channels for detailed announcements about these rewards.
Q: Will the previously removed character voiceovers return now that PWG is overseeing operations?
A: Yes! We've had in-depth discussions with our voice actors and are actively resuming voiceover recording and development. Familiar voices will gradually return in upcoming versions, so stay tuned! Additionally, our multilingual localization efforts will continue as planned, gradually fixing previous issues to ensure a high-quality experience for players worldwide.
Q: Will there be cross-platform play between international and PlayStation servers under PWG's operations?
A:We've received many inquiries about this since the operations transition announcement. While we aim to enhance cross-platform gameplay, maintaining balance—especially in leaderboards—remains a priority. We plan to introduce cross-platform login in 2025, allowing seamless play across PlayStation, PC, and mobile with full progress sync. Stay tuned for updates! Players may already be familiar with our 10-Year Commitment to ToF’s operations, ensuring long-term support for all players worldwide.
Q: Will the international server align with the Chinese mainland server's version schedule under PWG's operations?
A: Many players have inquired about version alignment, and it's been a key topic of discussion internally. Our goal is to narrow the gap between the international and Chinese mainland servers to just 1–2 weeks. However, achieving this will require significant adjustments to the pacing of content releases. We are fully committed to ensuring these changes enhance, rather than disrupt, the player experience.
Meanwhile, we'll expedite bug fixes and gameplay optimizations to enhance the overall game quality. Once the necessary adjustments are in place, we will update the community through our official channels. Thank you for your patience as we strive to deliver a more immersive and seamless ToF experience.
Q: Will there be more events for content creators? What will the incentive structure look like?
A: Absolutely! Content creators are an essential part of the ToF community, and we're eager to see more creators share their amazing work. To this end, we are refining our activity guidelines and reward systems, with further details to be announced in upcoming creator events. If you're already a ToF creator or aspiring to become one, we encourage you to share your ideas with us. Every piece of feedback will be taken seriously and thoughtfully considered.
Q: How will the new operations team communicate with players?
A: Throughout ToF's development, we've always believed that staying closely connected to the community is key to the game's success. We remain committed to fostering a stable and engaging community and maintaining open communications with players. Whether through regular updates, player feedback, or interactive events, we will continue to listen to your voices and respond sincerely to your expectations.
Thank you to every Authorizer for your unwavering support and companionship. Welcome home! We are excited to embark on this next chapter of Tower of Fantasy with you.
