A new Wild Hearts update, “Lethal Blossoms,” has been announced for April 6 later this year. The new update will feature a new kemono and new karakuri, among other things.

You can find the new trailer below:

The sight of drifting cherry blossoms once inspired awe and delight —now– now it fills the people of Azuma with dread. A sakura spirit of both immense beauty and destruction has arrived. Only the greatest hunters will be able to triumph over the deadly Murakumo. The Kemono’s appearance seems to have awakened a powerful new Karakuri as well, the Spinning Top. Mastery of this Karakuri could mean the difference between a successful hunt and a disastrous one.

The Murakumo, a new kemono introduced in the Lethal Blossoms update, conjures up wild winds that can be difficult to deal with. With the new karakuri, known as the Spinning Top, however, players can deal with the Murakomo and gain more power as it bounces around the battlefield.

Here are all of the features set to go live in the update:

New Kemono Species – Murakumo
Strange winds swirl the sakura blossoms, which fail to fall even long after spring has passed. When rumors spread of this eerie sight, parents warn their children to keep their distance. Knowing that should you wander too close, the vulpine fiend appears and spirits you away. For it is no mere wind; it is the Murakumo.

This Kemono’s plethora of petal-manipulating attacks are a real menace. It courses through the air on platforms made of sakura blossoms. Which, in turn, makes counterattacking tricky. When enraged, the vulpine beast unleashes a thunderous tornado that could easily leave you unconscious. Hunters would be wise to employ a Spinning Top Karakuri to fight against the beast.

New Karakuri – Spinning Top
Once unleashed, the Spinning Top closes in on prey to deliver a stubborn assault. Whenever it hits Kemono or other obstacles, it gains both speed and power. The Spinning Top can stagger Kemono given it has enough speed and power when it connects.

Limit Breaking Weapons, Armor
Hunters can use Core Orbs to further enhance weapons and armor. The number of times you can carry out such enhancements, and the effects they have, are different for each piece of equipment.

Core orbs can mainly be obtained by successfully hunting Volatile Kemono. The type of core orb dropped will depend on where you are hunting.

Additional Fixes, Improvements
The team is still hard at work to pack in as many fixes, improvements and adjustments as possible. Be on the lookout for the full bulleted update notes on April 6th. Thank you for your continued support and passion for WILD HEARTS™.

Deathhaze Gloombeak, New Talisman Skill, New Special Quests: Serial Hunts, New Chat Stamps & Emotes
The end of April is looking just as ferocious as the beginning! Make sure you’re prepared for another Deeply Volatile Kemono, Deathhaze Gloombeak, on April 20th.

Perhaps even more formidable, the next content update ushers in a new type of special quest – Serial Hunts. How many Kemono will you be able to hunt before being overwhelmed?

The Lethal Blossoms update is set to go live on April 6. Once it’s out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
