MU: Pocket Knights’ Big Rune Update Expands Challenges and Customisation

• MU: Pocket Knights second major update is here
• It adds in a brand-new Rune system and plenty of content
• That includes a special Halloween event to jump into

Since launching in September, MU: Pocket Knights has spent months in the hands of eager fans, earning a warm reception from the community. Developer Webzen is now pushing the experience further with the game’s second major update, aiming to refine progression and address long-standing requests from players.

This sizeable patch enhances core growth systems and introduces the all-new Rune system. Much like classic RPG rune-enhancement mechanics, it lets you attach runes to your gear to boost stats and strengthen your hero. It’s a welcome addition for anyone looking for deeper character-building options, smoother gear progression, and more rewarding long-term gameplay.

Runes can be earned through regular play and provide flexible ways to upgrade equipment. Whether you’re polishing unused weapons or optimising your build for late-game content, this update offers meaningful tools that fit neatly into MU’s familiar fantasy RPG loop.

The challenge roster has expanded significantly, adding 30 new Battle chapters and 30 more stages across Blood Castle, Square of Devil, and Maze of Dimension dungeons. The Abyss also gains 20 additional stages, giving players plenty of chances to earn runes, rare loot, and progression materials—perfect for those seeking more endgame dungeon-crawler content or mobile RPG grinding opportunities.

New equipment, costumes, and seasonal extras are also included, along with the festive Trick or Treat Rush Halloween event. Collect Pumpkins and Halloween candies throughout the game and trade them in for themed rewards, limited-time items, and valuable upgrade materials.
