EA Week One Recap

One Week, Six Major Updates

Destiny of Immortal (造化仙缘) launched Steam Early Access on July 7, 2026 and shipped six EA updates within eight days. LeiYun Games responded to community feedback with daily balance passes, alchemy economy fixes, a Reincarnation Shop overhaul, realm suppression quality-of-life, and an emergency dungeon softlock hotfix. This page consolidates every launch-week change so you can see how the game evolved before your current playthrough.

Steam reviews climbed to Very Positive (82% of 802+ reviews) by mid-July despite Chinese-only localization. International players rely on this wiki and OCR tools — see Play Without English.

• Shen Zhiyi gifts Supreme Exorcism Pill on Blood Sea floor 3 entry
• Humanoid mob spirit stone drops increased in 0.13.15 to offset smaller encounter groups

Alchemy & Economy Overhaul

Meta Progression Fixes

Multi-run players saw the biggest quality-of-life wins:

What Has Not Changed Yet

LeiYun's EA roadmap remains unchanged after week one:

• English localization still planned for full 1.0 release, not a confirmed EA milestone
• Two additional major storylines in development over 12–18 months of EA
• Artifact crafting (LianQi) still under active tuning
• Price increase planned at full release when content triples
