Double Archboss Spawns
Magical energy is surging across Solisium. As a result, Archbosses are becoming more active than ever.

Jump in now and take on the challenge against these even more formidable Archbosses.

Creator PvP Roundtable
We are gathering player and Creator feedback to make your favorite PvP modes even more enjoyable. From balance to sentiment, Associate Franchise Lead Tico joins DankRNG, SpidMMO, and LuckyBlackat to discuss the latest in all things PvP.
Marketing Localization Support
Starting March 1, we will focus our marketing localization efforts for the Throne and Liberty website, campaigns, and marketing materials on English, Japanese, and German. This means marketing content in French, Brazilian Portuguese, and LATAM Spanish will no longer be localized going forward. This does not affect in-game localization. All currently supported in-game languages will continue to receive full localization for game updates, patches, and in-game content.
Customer support will also remain available in all currently supported languages. We understand this may be disappointing for some of our community and appreciate your patience.

Added secondary exit paths near both spawn zones.
Added new structures throughout the map.
The Battlefield Defense buff now lasts for 7 seconds upon existing the spawn area but is removed upon attacking any target.
A lever-controlled gate has been added in front of the Waterway Holdstones in front of both spawn areas.
Capturing Control Stones now reduces Evasion in addition to CC Resistances.
Tower of Greed
Dev Note: As we continue improving the Tower of Greed experience, we're adjusting its rewards to better support newer players and reduce the pressure to complete this content. To support this, Relic Analysis Crystals will no longer be granted by the Tower of Greed and instead can now be obtained from Battlegrounds, Nebula Island, and Dimensional Trials to better align with player progression.
With the start of a new season, Tower of Greed progress and reward claim status has been reset.
Relic Analysis Crystals have been removed as a reward from the Tower of Greed.
