Theories

Season 26 of Identity V started on April 20th, 2023 and ended on June 21st, 2023. While this Season was ongoing, players could continue down the Logic Path by rolling dice, and open Essences which contain Costumes, Accessories, Images (Graffiti and Portraits), and Character actions (such as Emotes and Standby Motions) for Survivors and Hunters.

At the end of the Season, the Essences are combined into a Memory Sphere, which can be redeemed using Clues or Inspirations. However, S-Tier costumes will no longer be available.

This is the eleventh Season to use the Logic Path System, consisting of a portrait, portrait frame and accessory for the first 3 rewards instead of C-Tier skins. The first was Season 16.

This is the first season ongoing during Identity V Version 2.0.
