The gates to Ashen Valley have opened once more, heralding the return of the Dark Sect and the dawn of a new era in Rise of Dark Sect. Season One, titled Season of Crimson Rebellion, officially begins on July 19 and runs through November 30, 2025. This marks the beginning of an epic chapter in the world of Wuxia, filled with dark omens, rebellion, and untamed power.

In this season, players will witness the rise of chaos as the Dark Sect unleashes its influence across the lands. The cursed flames of rebellion now burn fiercely through Ashen Valley, a once-secluded region that has become the battleground between corrupted forces and brave cultivators. The fate of the realm hangs in the balance, and only those strong enough to resist corruption can shape the outcome.

A major highlight of the season is the introduction of a new playable class: the Crimson Flame Disciple. Drawing power from ancient fire techniques, this class channels destructive inner energy to unleash devastating attacks while embracing the chaos that now defines the battlefield.

Players can now journey into the treacherous terrain of Ashen Valley, a deadly new region filled with corrupted enemies, hidden secrets, and challenges that test both skill and strategy. At the heart of the conflict lies Xuanwu the Bloodbound, a legendary guardian beast turned monstrous under the Dark Sect’s curse. Defeating Xuanwu will require strength, coordination, and unwavering resolve.

As with every season, players have the opportunity to climb seasonal ranks and unlock exclusive limited-time rewards. These include powerful equipment, character cosmetics, and prestige items that showcase your accomplishments during the Season of Crimson Rebellion.

Whether you’re a returning hero or a new disciple, every login, every battle, and every choice will shape the story of this season. The rebellion has begun, and your blade may be the key to restoring balance—or fueling the fire.

Season of Crimson Rebellion is live from July 19 to November 30, 2025. Prepare to rise.
