• Update Live: Health Bar, Performance, Conversations, Boons VFX - 2 July 2026

  June Update 2026Major Performance Overhaul We've completely reworked the global illumination system and introduced four graphics presets (Low, Medium, High, and Epic) so every player can find their sweet spot. The result was a jump from ~40 FPS to a smooth 60–80 FPS. Whether you're on a budget rig or a high-end machine, Rikua should now run and look its best for you. Hope it works for everyone! Character Conversations NPC interactions now show a video of the character's face while they speak, making every conversation feel more alive and immersive - you'll see exactly who you're dealing with, up close.
