What's Planned Post-Launch

Bellring Games has previewed a post-launch roadmap that includes Holy Weapons for all classes, an expanded weapon option for Black Arrow, and a new mode referred to as Soul Hunt. This roadmap was shared before the most recent beta, so expect specifics to shift based on player feedback by the time any of it actually ships.
