I... was not expecting them to have altered that model! Since we saw Watchknights in Head of the Snake during Season 3, I figured it would just be those Watchknights in lore.

Makes me wonder if they'll update those S3 models at all... probably not though it would make sense as they would be "Mk II" Watchknights by all rights in lore.

The Season 3 watchknights won't change - their successful deployment in the Lake Doric campaign, however, may have been what prompted a renewed interest (and trust) in the technology.

I must be rejoiced, but honestly, I'm terrified of fighting Suriel after all these years of her 24/7 running across LA.

Now that you mention it, has anyone seen Suriel in Lion's Arch this week...?

But weren't those the "Mk II" Watchknights, which are what these FotFW Watchknights are being called too?

So if the Lake Doric ones led to these guys, shouldn't that make these Mk III Watchknights?

You could think of the Lake Doric version as a 1.2, or more likely 1.5 iteration - they use the same external chassis as the original Watchknights, but incorporated a number of internal changes for 'reliability and safety'.

Part of the Mk II rollout is also undoubtedly a deliberate rebrand on the part of Kryta's royal engineers to try to put any dark memories of the original series of watchknights in the past...
