Duet Night Abyss’s next wave of characters is taking shape. The cadence points to a late‑December Version 1.1 window, following Fina’s arrival on November 25. Here’s the grounded picture of who’s next, what roles they appear to fill, and how you’ll be able to unlock them when the patch drops.
Version 1.1 release window
The update is expected in late December 2025, roughly 28 days after Fina joins the roster on November 25. That puts the likely landing around December 23. There’s no formal date attached yet, but the game’s recent character cadence supports that timing.
