This seasonal update welcomes our New **Prime Asset** **Otto & Arora** to the Sinyala Facility and they bring with them devastating buzzsaw takedowns, incapacitating toxic attacks, and precise 360° vision. They stalk the **Shopping Mall**- the grand intersection of American culture and capitalist commerce, and our **new Trial Environment**. Lose yourself in **2 new MK-Challenges**, a revamped and deepened **Rebirth** system, and additional DLC cosmetics and more. ##### This update includes - New Prime Asset: Otto & Arora Kress - New Trial Environment: The Shopping Mall - New Trial: "Kill the Politician" - New MK-Challenges: "Get Out the Vote" & "Sentence the Prosecuted" - New Limited-Time Event: Kress Twins - New Deluxe Catalog: Project Diarchy - Rebirth reopens to all Reagents - Join-in-Progress via Matchmaking - New DLC Packs - Other additions, improvements and fixes ##### Season 4: Project Diarchy In PROJECT DIARCHY, Reagents come face-to-face-to-face with Otto and Arora Kress. Conjoined at birth, the Kress Twins have a set of eyes both fore and aft. They can spot a victim from any angle, stop them with a thrown vile of noxious poison, and split them in two with their buzzsaw. ##### New Prime Asset: Otto & Arora Kress Otto and Arora are the shameful secret of the Kress family dynasty. Scions to an industrial chemical fortune, twisted geniuses of chemistry and politics, their narcissistic entitlement fuels an overwhelming ire for those uncultured massed physically blessed by so-called normalcy. Raised in secrecy, their relationship festered into a codependent affair of incest, murder, and true love. The Kress Twins lord over the Shopping Mall, where they will do anything to stop Reagents from sabotaging their political rally in the latest Trial, “Kill the Politician.” ##### New Environment: The Shopping Mall A consumerist wonder of the world, the Shopping Mall is a living museum in celebration of the power and imperative of the purse. What you own is who you are, so come on in and purchase the person you want to be. ##### New Trial: Kill the Politician Our union is rooted in the liberty born from the intersection of commerce and politics, where every citizen has all the rights they can afford. Vote with your wallet, and show us the freedom you deserve. ##### New MK-Challenge: Get Out the Vote It's time to get out the vote, and we can't trust a politician to cross the street by himself. Escort our candidate door to door and back to the poling station. Make sure he comes out a winner, even if it means twisting a few arms. ##### New Mk-Challenge: Sentence the Prosecuted They call it a "sentence" because a few choice words can condemn a human to death. Decipher the charges, pin it to the defendant, and make sure that it sticks. ##### New Event: Kress Twins We welcome our new Prime Asset with a tour of the facilities. For a limited time, Otto and Arora Kress will be present in all of the Trials of the Kress Twins therapy. ##### New Deluxe Catalog: Project Diarchy The new Deluxe Catalog “Project Diarchy” is now available. - The catalog is filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for your own self expression. - Unlock the Deluxe Catalog using Murkoff Coins, earned by completing the Onboarding Catalog and other Deluxe Catalog. - Acquire Stamps by completing Trials and Tasks, then use the Stamps to acquired Deluxe Catalog items. - As a reminder, the Deluxe Catalogs are available permanently.
