Bluepoch's period-hopping gacha RPG Reverse: 1999 has turned three, and the anniversary build is one of the most generous the game has run. Version 3.7, On Another's Sorrow, is live now, and the giveaway list at the top of it is unusually blunt: a free 6-star, a free selectable 6-star, and 67 free summons.
What you get for logging in
The centrepiece is Coppélia, a 6-star handed out through the login track rather than gated behind a banner. Alongside her, players can claim a selectable 6-star Artifice, 25 Unilogs, and the Fire Lotus Cut-to-fit Garment for Spathodea, which becomes permanent once claimed. The 67 free summons spread across the celebration period are the largest single pull allowance the game has offered.
Two more characters come free through event participation rather than login: 5-stars Silverwing Eagle and Matilda. For a game whose roster additions usually cost pulls, getting three characters without touching a banner is a meaningful shift in the anniversary math.
The banner schedule
Phase one belongs to Rhiannon, a 6-star mystical bird trainer, whose banner runs through September 3, 2026. Phase two brings Ms. Stranger, a 6-star spy, from September 3 to September 17, 2026. Each phase includes a complimentary Decatone, which softens the cost of chasing both.
Splitting the anniversary across two phases with a free Decatone attached to each is a familiar structure for the game, but the pacing here is worth noting: with Coppélia arriving free and 67 summons in the bank, players who have been saving can realistically target both featured 6-stars rather than choosing between them.
Euphoria upgrades and the content list
On the roster side, Nautika and Regulus both receive Euphoria upgrades, with Regulus additionally gaining a Photomancy ability. Euphoria reworks are how Reverse: 1999 keeps older units viable rather than retiring them, and Regulus picking up a new mechanic outright is more than a stat pass.
The content slate is dense. A new story chapter anchors it, joined by Truth a Posteriori, a resource-survival mode, and Focused Flashback challenge stages. The Syndrome of Silence continues, and the lighter side of the celebration is covered by 8-Bit Arcade Remix: Beach Battle and a Fan Creations event with prizes attached.
Cosmetics get their own run of anniversary garments, covering Nautika, Coppélia, 37 and Spathodea, plus a new Wilderness theme pack for the game's base-building side. Wilderness has quietly become one of Reverse: 1999's stickier systems, and theme packs are the main way Bluepoch keeps players returning to it between story drops.
Three years in
Reverse: 1999 launched in 2023 with an aesthetic nobody else in the gacha space was attempting — a 20th-century time-travel narrative delivered through Art Nouveau illustration and fully voiced regional English dialects — and it has held that identity without diluting it. Three years later the game is on iOS, Android, PC and PS5, and the anniversary build is being used to reward the players who stayed rather than to reset expectations for new ones.
The full celebration period runs into mid-September, which gives returning players a comfortable window to clear the free-character events before phase two arrives.
