Beyond

Due to the ambitious scope and delays for Seas of Dragonfall updates plus the additional work required to upgrade Playverse for DD2's backend, it'll most likely be a while before these gets implemented. [2] However, keep in mind that while these are planned features, they are always subject to change during development and may not end up being implemented after all.

  • Pet UI modernization. [3]
  • 2024 will have heavy focus on bug fixing and bringing more optimizations/stability. [4]
  • Massive game-wide balance pass and hero rework/overhauls (Huntress' and Apprentice's abilities for example) [5] [6]
  • Removal of the Drakenlord's bubble mechanic and appearance as a miniboss in Expeditions/early game. The Drakenlord's appearance within Drakenfrost Keep is slated to buffed into a proper boss. [7] [8]
  • Addition of the Wyvern's Den incursion map to Expeditions, without the Betsy boss. [9]

Potential Future Update Themes

Around mid-2023, CG put up a community poll[10] to decide on an update theme after Seas of Dragonfall. The four candidates are:

  • Sky City
  • Crystalline Dimension
  • Carnival/Circus
  • Space

It is currently unknown which theme has won the poll.
