In August, the studio took the very unusual step of announcing the game’s next PTR (Public Test Realm) via… a Discord Q&A. That’s the 2.4.0. PTR, containing much of the Season of Infernal Chaos content, which would typically be enough of a big deal to warrant multiple developer livestreams. The PTR has come and gone, and we’re now under two weeks away from the start of the game’s next season,…
