What do you think is in store for this game in 2025? How much more work does the general gameplay need, what new additions will we receive and how far away is the full release?

I feel like the core gameplay mechanics are near finalized so we won’t see huge changes in soul mechanics to the degree we have been. Probably still small to mid tweaks for a few months.

I haven’t played hero labs (don’t get as much time to play in general with being a dad now lol) so might be off a bit but would think most of those characters move to the main roster during the first half the year.

I expect more skins and some kind of progression tied to skins at some point in 2025 to help with retention. I don’t worry as much about the steam charts as some do with it being a playtest but I do think they can’t let the player count drop too low. I select the “high quality” option for queue or whatever it’s called and while it takes a little bit for a match mine have been good so I’ve been happy.
