    Expansion Preview #2: Devotion, Shrines, and World Events

    Welcome to the second of seven posts where we'll be diving into all the new features coming with the expansion. In this update, we'll explore how we're introducing more combat opportunities and making the world feel a bit more interactive.

    Devotion Shrines
    Scattered across the world, you'll now find around 30 large and 60 small Devotion Shrines. These shrines are guarded by enemies, and cleansing them offers you the chance to devote them to Order or Chaos.
    Large shrines can also be dedicated to specific gods, unlocking skill upgrades as a reward.

    Our design philosophy for these shrines was to provide optional combat challenges throughout the game. Since death carries significant consequences, we've been cautious about overwhelming players with overly strong encounters in the open world. With these shrines, you can face tougher enemies on your own terms.

    We've already showcased how all 12 core game classes interact with some of these shrines during the combat update patch. Check out the gameplay video here:

    Devotion to Gods
    The expansion brings a new character page where you can team up with one of the gods. Picking a deity means they'll step in to help you now and then, each in their own unique way.

    These divine interventions have long cooldowns, but how often they happen depends on your relationship with the god you've chosen. Your bond with them changes based on what you do in the game, the gods are always watching and judging how well your actions match their ideals.

    Order and Chaos Events
    To make the balance between Order and Chaos more impactful, we're adding over 60 new world events. These events will trigger based on the current state of the world:
    -A world leaning toward Order will result in calmer gameplay.
    -A world dominated by Chaos will bring more combat-heavy scenarios.

    The idea behind the events is the same as before: to keep the world alive and interactive. We're just doubling down on what you already enjoyed.

    That's all for this update! Stay tuned, there are five more posts coming your way as we unveil more about the expansion. See you in the next one!
