Shift Up is doing the right thing by acknowledging the issue of a disappearing compass that would have made the navigation experience for the players a lot harder. Fortunately, the developers will enable a feature that will leave the compass on as long the player sees fit which is a must and a lot more convenient.

The new update will also include new cosmetic items for players to choose from. Director Hyung-Tae Kim has a personal connection with the outfits featured in the game and even designedthe skin suit that he envisioned nearly a decade ago.
