Hello NeopiansThe FAQ states a return during "first quarter of 2025," so we can expect the pause to last, at a bare minimum, through the end of the year.
We're pausing the Void Within plot between Chapters 7 and 8 to make exciting improvements based on your feedback. Thank you all for your energy and insights — your involvement has been incredible!
During this brief break, plot-related activities like void point collection, battles, volunteering, comics, and achievements will pause.
We have plenty of holiday events planned for the rest of this year, and The Void Within will return after the holiday season in early 2025!
Check out our FAQ below for more details. Rest assured, you'll be able to complete your plot goals and face new BD challenges when we're back!

The FAQ also gets a tad more specific with what will be changing when it returns, which TNT is referring to as "episode 2":
What will change once episode 2 starts?
1. Bug fixes
2. More difficult battledome challengers
3. New battledome and prize items
4. More games
5. Daily activities will be rebalanced to allow players to enjoy the plot at a more relaxed pace.
6. The plot pacing will be re-arranged to improve story cadence.
The FAQ also includes a few notable updates we want to highlight. However, please take all notes with caution—the official FAQs are frequently inaccurate.
- The prize shop will remain open during the pause. Although you will not be able to earn more points, you can spend the ones you've already earned. No items will leave the shop, and your points will not expire.
- Voidworks will reset at midnight NST starting November 7. Previously, it would reset exactly 24 hours from when you last played.
- The "Go with the Flow" achievement from Voidworks will be obtainable again after the plot resumes. Previously, it was seemingly only available the first time you played Voidworks.
- Plot games will remain available during the pause. This includes Voidworks, Cosy Campfire Collection, and Tea Time with Tavi. These games will continue to award items and Neopoints, but not plot points or achievements.
