To Venture 3 and Beyond
It’s an exciting time to be on the hunt as Issue #2: Dark Arrival reaches its final page. With VEKTR closing in on their target, it’s a race to get to the heart of the matter. Renegades will be tasked with uncovering the last vestiges of X-Isle’s mysteries and tie up the threads that weave the tapestry of its past… and decide its future! Ahead of the huge update coming in Q4 2024, we faced a challenge: adapting the storyline to make sense of where we’re going. Making the Riftwake, X-Isle, and all its characters and personalities a living, breathing stage and cast for a game was something we’ve always taken seriously. The upcoming PvE and Issue #3 update isn’t simply a new mode to select in a menu, it’s all a part of this unfolding story. We’re happy with how it’s turning out — and can’t wait for you to play your part.
