Welcome to the Snowy Realm, a frozen wasteland in the North where survival is a brutal test of endurance. The cold isn't just a backdrop, but a constant threat — sapping your strength and challenging your every move.
Not only are you up against ruthless Deviants now, but the elements themselves have turned against you. Will you endure the relentless, unforgiving land of endless snow, or will winter claim you like so many before?
You may have noticed the chilling notice appearing whenever you return to your territory in Patch 1.2: “Hypothermia and Heatstroke may not become severe.” While the specifics of this mechanic are still largely unknown, it’s evident that temperature management will play a crucial role in Way of Winter.
On October 17, the seasonal tags will receive an update, unifying all scenarios under a consistent set of tags. Players can expect tags related to seasonal combat environments, cradles, prize pools, Deviant Invasions, and more.
For Cradle Overrides, all weapon builds will provide unique buffs, and several keywords will introduce new mechanics, offering players an exciting fresh experience in gameplay.
Many mysteries yet remain hidden in Way of Winter scenario, but rest assured that updates will be provided as new information surfaces, perhaps when H37 shares the latest developments. Keep an eye on this page for what lies ahead!
