No specific launch date has been announced yet, but this update is an important patch, as it is all about improving how rewarding content feels throughout Dawn of the Hunt.

Loot Changes Confirmed

Patch notes are not out yet, but GGG has already confirmed that loot will be a big focus in 0.2.0g. Based on past dev comments, we can expect:

• Loot pacing in the Corrupted Nexus
• Reward scaling in Simulacrums and Expeditions
• Progression flow across early endgame tiers

These changes follow weeks of community feedback asking for more natural progression and better rewards in more difficult content.
