We are also quite active on Discord if you have any questions about upcoming content!However, due to limited availability during summer (a lot of things are happening behind the scenes!), Dev Streams will start later. The First Look Dev Stream will take place on July 24th, and more streams will happen weekly after that. What happens to Expansion Pass 2 in August?After the release of Archon Prophecy, Expansion Pass 2 will become a dynamic bundle on Steam. Which means you will be able to “complete the set” if you already bought a standalone DLC from the pass and get a nice discount.
