Gameplay Overview
No major story expansions have been released or announced as of mid-2024. Post-launch support has primarily consisted of patches, quality-of-life updates (like Arachnophobia mode), and making previously platform-exclusive content available to all players. Some cosmetic DLC items were available via pre-orders or deluxe editions. The game is designed as a live-service MMO, with rotating weekly and monthly events, PvE raid rotations, and timed world quests. Future content expansions are expected, with potential for guild vs. guild territory battles.
