Several Third Sea islands have undergone extensive revamps, featuring updated textures, buildings, models, and new structures. These reworked islands include:

Addressing long-standing performance issues on mobile and console platforms, the update includes performance optimizations. Leveraging new Roblox performance tools, the developers aim to ensure a smoother, lag-free experience for all players regardless of their device.
Gameplay Enhancements
Beyond visuals, gameplay improvements are also included. The NPC quest indicator has been redesigned, and NPCs now feature idle animations. Chests have received visual and animation overhauls, enhancing player interaction.
Combat mechanics have also been refined. Guns are now visibly equipped on player models, and all guns have received visual and gameplay upgrades. Mobs now display knockback and stun animations, and hit registration is clearly indicated by a red glow effect on both the attacker and the target. Observation Haki has also received visual and sound effect enhancements.
A new Ability HUD has been added, clearly displaying ability cooldowns, preventing accidental button mashing.
