71 pages of patch notes. 17k words.
...and we're still hunting down stragglers.
This is a big patch. Our teams have worked tirelessly to hit the highest priority/impacting bugs before launch, but there may be a few rough edges.
We hope you find Monument of Triumph to be packed to the brim with fun. If you encounter any issues on launch day or beyond, never hesitate to send us the info.
Ah, and one of our multimedia team members that feeds us high quality assets (and throws the ESRB intro on videos) proposed a deal that they wanted to tweet something in exchange for delivering this asset.
We agreed. Without further ado...
INDEBTED ON TOP 🌊

Before we dig in, we wanted to take a moment to thank you. Seeing your reactions has been really moving to us.
Frankly, we wouldn't be here without you... and the way you continue to show up for this world means more than we can fully put into words.
Every memory and every moment you've shared with us over the years has fueled our future. Every ounce of our June update is for you, and we hope you feel it as you continue to read through our insight articles and upcoming TWIDs, let alone when you're playing the update with us on June 9.
Yeah, it's a bit sappy and sentimental... but that's how we're feeling while reading all of your stories over the last week. We hope to keep building worlds to inspire friendship for years to come and truly couldn't do it without you and your voices.
Again, thank you for being here and for sticking with us.
All right, let's get to the goods. Our second Dev Insights about the upcoming Monument of Triumph update covers changes to...
🔫 Exotic and Legendary weapons, tier upgrading, and crafting
7️⃣ Reworked artifacts and anti-Champion counters
🟣 Vendors, focusing, and attunement
👀 and more!
The weapon set I am most proud of getting to reprise! We’ve all got memories of these so it was definitely a challenge to make sure they live up to their legend.
Also definitely my favorite Origin Trait I’ve ever gotten to make.
@RickKackis I'll keep saying it - team is looking to deploy love letters to as many player types as possible.
Mode tweaks, weapons returning, new perks, some other stuff.
Much love, Kackis.
