Especially notable are the leaks of several SSR weapons, or «relics,» some of which are universal, able to be used by any playable character, as opposed to others which are bound to specific characters. Phoenix Soul, for example, showcased by AlphaLeaker, is a fiery bow seemingly exclusive to Sung, which sends out extra fire projectiles when shot. Another SSR weapon for Sung, the Skadi Pistol, is specified to be intended for release after Phoenix Soul, though release periods are vague for the time being.
Other notable content leaks include several bosses, with many, like Kaisel, Baran, and Architect, being recognizable monsters/characters from the original source material. For the most part, leaks of bosses and enemies are incomplete, with missing textures on models or unfinished art. Alongside these leaks, the inclusion of character skins has also been revealed, with AlphaLeaker showing off skins for Sung Jinwoo, Cha Hae-In, and Alicia Blanche. It currently seems as though a skin for Sung will be available on a battle pass, while the skins for Cha and Alicia will be purchasable
