Okay, I found it. It’s been so long since a mythic lined up

I’m already chasing up how the in-game news works, because I think it is a default line of text, so it doesn’t vary based on if a Mythic is releasing before it’s Kingdom week. _As in, it doesn’t auto update to include it’s exclusive in all chests, including Event chests when mythic and kingdom weeks align_

I’ve also updated the blog in the meantime, and also let our Prod team know to look out for future instances where this happens.

_edit: I also just checked the game guide on [Mythic troops](https://infinityplus2.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/150000208339-how-to-get-a-mythic-troop) and it looks like it **wasn’t** missing from there - it does mention Mythics will be exclusive to all chests during a Mythic’s kingdom week_
