A new threat, the Azmeri Spirit, infuses monsters with power, creating challenging encounters and rewarding loot. Eight new maps, including the shifting Fractured Lake and the rune-carved Phaaryl Megaliths, offer unique challenges. Four new Unique Strongboxes, such as Ogham’s Legacy and Ixchel’s Torment, offer complex fights and valuable rewards.
Corrupted Essences receive upgrades, with four new types—Hysteria, Delirium, Horror, and Insanity—offering powerful crafting outcomes. Corruption spreads, forming Nexus areas with challenging bosses. Cleansing these areas unlocks new monsters and rewards in the cleansed maps. Rogue Exiles, hostile NPCs using player skills and items, provide intense duels and valuable drops.
Endgame mechanics are refined with fewer, more powerful towers and tablets affecting more areas. Towers now spawn all mechanics and new bosses.
Dawn of the Hunt launches simultaneously on PC, Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store, offering a fresh start in new leagues or continuation in existing Early Access leagues.
