Throne and Liberty Behind the scenes of Nix - Integrations

The big update you've been waiting for is finally here! (Applause)

I thought it would be 200% more fun for our adventurers to know what's coming in this new update, so I went straight to the source and conducted a straight-to-the-point interview with PD.

We're already excited about the new province, Nyx, so let's get started!

PD ParkKeonsoo Gun: hello. Everyone, this is TL PD Gunsoo Park. It's been a while, and we're back with a big update that we're more excited about than ever.

On 23 June, TL's biggest expansion yet, 'Frozen Boundaries: Nyx' is finally coming to you.

Centred around the massive new province of Nyx, the expansion will introduce a new era of dazzling and dangerous open-world exploration, including a new weapon with ruthless appeal, the Pistol, new co-operative dungeons, a level 60 cap, and all-new gear. The vast expanses of Nyx, covered in endless ice and snow, are waiting for you to explore.

PD Park: Yes, Nix is designed to give adventurers a whole new sense of tension, both visually and in terms of play style.

The story begins with the arrival of a familiar face in the frozen snowy landscape of Nix, cut off from all communication. As the adventurers and the resistance fight to restore some semblance of calm, the existing estates are exposed to new threats, and a red mist has begun to spread across Nix due to some unknown influence. Ancient ruins and demonic energy, the Magi, stir beneath the cold ice, while powerful forces hidden deep within the glaciers and dangerous rifts created by warped space and time threaten the precarious balance of Nix, and the adventurers must use the resistance's secret weapon to step into the cold Nix.

Whether you enjoy challenging PvE encounters, competing in large-scale PvP, or exploring the world with your guild and seeking new growth, Frozen Boundaries: Nyx' will allow you to fully realise that TL has evolved to the next level of immensity.

PD Park Gunsoo: Nyx is the largest region we've added to TL to date. It's a frozen snowfield itself, shaped by buried ancient powers and the remnants of civilisations that have long been buried beneath the ice.

As adventurers progress through the story of this Adventure Codex, they'll encounter a vast conspiracy by the Cult of Silaveth and the Legion of Archium, pitting them against the Adventurers, the Resistance, and the forces hidden throughout the snowfields. Along the way, you'll encounter new modes of transport and settlements, frozen ruins, and uncharted spaces created by dangerous rifts as you uncover the mysteries that lie beneath the snow.

PD ParkKeonsoo: You're right, survival in Nyx will not be easy this time around, and the region will feature new open-world play designed to reward adventurers for their exploration, adventure, and unexpected encounters in the field. As the Archium Legion's reach grows, adventurers will face dangerous enemies and battle new activities across the snowfields in pursuit of powerful rewards.

PD Park: Yes, reaching the far reaches of Nyx requires more than just travelling on foot, which is why we're introducing a special movement mechanic in this expansion that will allow adventurers to explore the vertical terrain of the frozen snowfields in a whole new way.

Adventurers can use the Sky Wedge to descend from extreme heights and glide coolly over great distances, and the Mirina to quickly traverse the skies of Nix. From frozen high peaks to valleys hidden deep beneath the snow, exploration with these vehicles will play a key role in the expansion experience.

PDBeats: With the Frozen Boundary update, we're finally introducing a new weapon, the Pistol. Designed for adventurers who want to dominate the front lines, the Pistol is a brutal close-combat weapon that perfectly combines survivability, aggression, and mobility to provide a powerful 'tank/dealer hybrid' playstyle.

PD Park: The biggest appeal of the pistol is its ability to 'switch stances' depending on the situation.

At first, the heavy combat stance uses overwhelming strength and resistance to overpower enemies and deliver devastating blows. But when the situation calls for it, you can switch to a more aggressive stance for greater mobility, transforming your blunt hilt into deadly claws that can unleash relentless attacks and fast combos.

Whether you're at the forefront of a battle, protecting your allies, or tearing enemies apart at close range, the Pommel will give adventurers a whole new way to experience combat in TL.

PD: To ensure that adventurers can fully challenge themselves with their new weapons, we're introducing two new co-operative dungeons set in the treacherous landscape of Nix. Each will feature new bosses, mechanics, and compelling rewards for adventurers willing to test their strength against the dangers lurking throughout the region. We're also expanding the maximum growth level to 60, so you'll have some powerful new gear to support this new era of growth.

PD Park: This is a very important area. Along with the new gear, this update will also see a significant evolution of TL's itemisation system.

We're making these changes to give adventurers more freedom in determining their gear upgrades and progression paths, allowing for greater build customisation and making higher-tier rewards more meaningful for tackling higher difficulty content.

We're also making further improvements to the delivery of world numbers, along with a number of other usability updates focused on lowering the overall hurdles to progression and enhancing the play experience. We're working hard to make growth less stressful for adventurers, so stay tuned.

PD: You've hit the nail on the head, and we've put a lot of thought into making sure that adventurers can spend more time enjoying the open world itself, not just the dungeons.

You'll naturally encounter dynamic open-world activities, powerful enemies, and opportunities for competitive events and high-value rewards throughout the realm, which will create a constant stream of vibrant and unexpected gameplay experiences throughout the region.

PD Park: Absolutely. We've prepared many ways for all types of adventurers to enjoy TL in their own style. With this expansion update, we're also making improvements to housing and living content. We'll be making a lot of improvements to the living system to make it smoother and more enjoyable.

Whether you're exploring dangerous areas with your guild, discovering the hidden secrets of the Snowfields, or competing for valuable rewards across the open world, Nix will give you a whole new way to forge your own path in Solissium.

PD: Yes, that's right! On 23 June, the release of 'Frozen Boundaries: Nyx' release is just the beginning of a huge adventure.

As adventurers explore Nyx and reach new milestones in the region, we'll continue to deliver a wealth of additional content and challenges over the coming weeks. Here's a sneak peek at what's coming in July and August.

PDBakGunsoo: Yes, the road to Nix will open on 23 June, but we'll be releasing a series of in-depth analysis and previews each week leading up to launch to keep adventurers' curiosity piqued until then.

Stay tuned for more details to be released each week.

PD Park Gunsoo: I would like to thank all of our adventurers for waiting so long for new adventures and for always supporting TL.

You're about to embark on an epic journey to explore the frozen snowfields of Nix in TL's biggest expansion yet.

Our development team will spend the rest of the year perfecting it and making sure you have the best experience possible.

Until then, we'll see you in the frozen lands of Nyx.

Thank you.
