As some of you may remember, on August 24th '18 the kingdom of Sin of Maraj was added (see New Kingdom - Sin of Maraj ). All quiet on the surface of Krystara. Just new factions appear down in the Underworld.
Happy birthday, Sin of Maraj!
With only 3? underworld kingdoms to go and very little scheduled content left, maybe now would be a good time for the developers to share their plans for the future of GoW.
A new scoring formula every week is probably not enough content to keep the current playerbase going for long.
Hope Iâm wrong, but my US dollar says itâs a little thing called PQ3.
Things have been way to easy to obtain, either by using real $$$$ or gnome-a-palooza dropping VKs like candy from a piñata, over the past few months. I think the devs are doing the best they can to âsatisfyâ the completionists by giving them the resources to get most everything before the game is announced as âend-of-lifeâ. Also, in my mind, monetization releases indicate a âget it while you canâ philosophy.
At least this is my opinion. Wouldnât surprise me if Iâm wrong; wouldnât be the 1st time & definitely wonât be the last time.

Itâs possible, but: GoW has had record year after record year, including last quarter (+75% revenue compared to first quarter of 2020). GoW made 4.5 times the revenue of all other Digital Bros F2P properties combined.
Theyâve also signed a license agreement for the Chinese market for 2.2 million USD in 1Q21. Chinese players rejoice! You might get human translations after all (or maybe not)!
Iâd be surprised if they dumped their bread winner game any time soon - but who knows .
All true.
I just donât think there will be any big expansions like the Underworld was. We may get a new kingdom/class/faction, here and there. But something substantial is âiffyâ. Heck, even all talk for the overworld once thought of, has dried up.
As for the revenue, look at from this POV. They made all the revenue gains without adding anything substantial to the gameplay mechanism (unless you want to count WE as substantial).
Time will tell. Whatever happens, Iâm still in until something else catches my fancy! It definitely wasnât the previously mentioned PQ3; been there, done that, over it.
