-''Seas of Dragonfall'' is the next expansion/major content update following Night of Dragonfall. As the name suggests, this expansion (with what has been revealed so far) will be aquatic-themed. The target date for release would be at the end of Q1 2024 (around end of March.)
+''Seas of Dragonfall Part II'' will be the next content update following Seas of Dragonfall Part 1 to finish off the content expansion. This update will presumably contain a map, new pets and Defender Pass Season 2. ETA in June 18th which is in a few days.
 === Revealed ===
-* A new hero called the Aquarion, she will be wielding a polearm as her weapon. <sup>''[https://i.imgur.com/7Rt4gr0.png|Referrence]''</sup>
+* New Map - Coral Reef Town.
-* A Pufferfish tower which has a 360-degree target radius that rains down spikes on 10 different targets (one spike per target), poisoning them (similar to how Lavamancer's Volcano works). <sup>''[https://i.imgur.com/ngAsKxs.png|Referrence]''</sup>
-* An Artillery Crab tower that fires squids, dealing earth damage and oiling enemies up. This tower functionally prioritizes air targets.  <sup>''[https://i.imgur.com/I2cANgf.png|Referrence]''</sup>
 * A new shark enemy.
-* A new boss fight (said to be really cool).
 * New Defender Pass Season. <sup>''[https://i.imgur.com/viNYcDc.png|Referrence]''</sup>

 * A new crustacean-themed Lavamancer costume
-* Shard Vault. (Slated to be in this expansion unless there's a serious development hurdle.)
+* Aquanos Huntress costume. (revealed prematurely)
-* A method to reroll pet elemental stats. It will involve a new possibly rare and expensive material, obtainable from pet consumable boxes and potentially survival caches. <sup>''[https://i.imgur.com/GqFt67T.png|Referrence]''</sup>
+* Fish-themed Flair Set.
-* A new special variant of the Betsy Pet that will only have a limited availability of one month.
+* Seahorse Pet.
-* New black market items, possibly more [[Gold Plated Costumes]] for other heroes. (Best not to expect the original four returning to preserve the exclusivity for kickstarter backers.)
