Bandai Entertainment revealed the latest roadmap for their anime extraction shooter Synduality Echo of Ada, detailing what to expect from upcoming updates for the rest of April, as well as a breakdown of content updates planned for the game’s second season.

Synduality Echo of Ada Season 2 Roadmap detailed.

Season starts next month but Synduality will be updated with new content, specifically a limited event that allows players to earn a new Cradle called the TOMGUARDIAN.

Late April Updates

Two notable additions are set to arrive in the coming weeks:

• New Cradle: TOMGUARDIAN
  A limited-time event will introduce TOMGUARDIAN, giving all players a chance to earn this brand-new Cradle.

• JACKBOX+1 Shop Update
  Following a community vote on the official Synduality Discord, a red-colored JACKBOX will be added to the in-game shop.

As for season 2, it’s new content across the board as we get a new location to explore, new requests, new Magus units, new weapons, and the continuation of the game’s Ameisia storyline.

What to Expect in Season 2 (Late May–June)

Season 2 kicks off in late May or early June, bringing a wave of fresh content to East Amasia:

• A new location to explore

• The arrival of Ciel and more Magus units

• Additional weapons, including new rarities for current gear

• New requests and corresponding rewards

• A brand-new Cradle, plus upgrades for existing ones

• A new chapter in the Ameisia Investigation storyline

Late June Brings Molten Dunes

Later in the season, players can look forward to:

• Molten Dunes, a fiery new area in East Amasia

• A new request called Nest Order

• Another new Cradle addition

…and plenty more to be revealed soon.

My Thoughts on the Current State of the Game

Synduality: Echo of Ada launched this past January as an online extraction shooter based on the anime Synduality: Noir. Its gameplay loop mirrors titles like Escape from Tarkov—you prep your Cradlecoffin, complete requests, and gather resources to upgrade your base and craft gear. The twist? If you die during a mission, you lose everything: weapons, parts, materials.

It’s intense. The tension of potentially losing your progress—especially with PvP elements—gives the game its edge. But for me, the early grind and lack of meaningful conflict (with many players avoiding fights altogether) makes progress feel slow and frustrating. Couple that with underwhelming offline story content, and it’s why I confidently gave the game a 2/5 in my review.

Recent Balance Changes

The game just came out of maintenance with a fresh balance patch, tweaking specific items through buffs and nerfs.

Synduality: Echo of Ada is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam.
