Once again, happy to hear all the love for the changes to Kings Canyon! While I cannot speak to upcoming map updates, what I can say is anything is possible. We are always listening to the community and leaning into player data to decide what to do and what not to do. Thank you for your feedback and suggestion! With regards to the super spicy Mirage Voyage end circle, this was not an intentional ring change but it's awesome to hear that someone actually enjoyed the mayhem of it!

Happy to hear you are loving the changes to Kings Canyon! The major goal for the update was to increase the overall size of the map, which is why we blew up the northern mountain range. Slum Lakes was always something that we wanted to update, as the data pointed to low drop rates in the area. It has always been a difficult place to rotate out of, so we really wanted to change that to get more Players dropping in that area.

A major goal with every map update is to change up the way that players flow through it. One of the ways we do this is by looking at different sets of data. 3rd parties tend to be a commonly called out problem, and the data definitely reflects this. The Farm was one such area where a lot of 3rd partying was happening, so we decided to make a major change here and remove the building structures from the map, replacing it with a decimated version. This removal forces you to make different decisions and experience the map in a different way. We've decided to remove the replicator in the mid-season update, but the charge tower will remain so that there is still a reason to take the risk and rotate through here.

A lot of effort goes into developing new maps and map updates, currently, there are no plans to make multiple updates in a single season.

As with any map update, there are always knock-ons to existing content. The Nessie's are no different! The Leviathans moved to the north end of the map for a closer look, perhaps a Nessie or two has done the same!
