Hello everyone,
Today we'll be taking a look at the progress on two of our maps that are both in their end stages of development. These two maps are a part of Episode 2, namely E2M1, and E2M5. With the first being a temple complex below the dunes of the Eventide Wastes, and the latter being a temple in the skies, we hope you’ll enjoy the latest visual revisions:

E2M1 has received its detail pass, which includes trims, texture adjustments, gameplay adjustments, and other polishing detail enhancements. Now that its visuals are complete with a gameplay pass, we’ll be playtesting with QA to check for any other revisions. Take a look at some sections of the Crystal Dunes:
