Vortex Gaming

• ✅ The map is designed around a gigantic occupied city, full of dangers.
• ✅ The map will have a snowy and cold theme.
• ✅ The map appears to be divided into two sides: a light side and a dark side, suggesting a dichotomy between good and evil.
• ✅ The map could be divided into three main regions: the dark side (Rockwell's Garden), the light side, and a snowy, corrupted wasteland surrounding the castle in the center.

The developers always deliver on expectations.

• ✅ Malwyn is a terrifying creature from the dark side, related to the Veilin.
• ✅ The Veilin will be able to evolve into formidable forms with the release of Lost Colony, with Malwyn being one of them.
• ✅ Malwyn has a sturdy dark metal saddle with armor protection.
• ✅ Malwyn is born from the artificial evolution of Veilwing companions and is infused with a strange substance, likely referring to the red element.
• ✅ The red element was briefly hinted at with the Oodon dossier and its saddle.
• ✅ Malwyn is a ruthless hunter with enhanced abilities that weaken and slow down its prey.

Hard to tell from the visuals how big it really is, but it seems similar in size to the Pyroman.

• ✅ Solwyn is the second form the Veilin can evolve into, a majestic creature of the light side.
• ✅ It has bright white and blue colors, a contrast to its dark twin, the Mauin.
• ✅ Solwyn protects and aids the survivor on their journeys, acting as a guardian.
• ✅ It glides through ice fields, creates fleeting paths, and moves through frozen hazards with precision.
• ✅ Solwyn fiercely protects its bonded rider and follows a single rule: keep you safe from the darkness behind you.

Seems to be a mountable guardian.

• ✅ The story of Lost Colony will bridge the gap between Extinction and Genesis.
• ✅ It will resolve many loose ends, clarifying how Rockwell gets to the Genesis seed ship and the amount of humanity left within the character.
• ✅ It ties into the Ark 2 plot and includes many stories between the characters in the animated series.
• ✅ It will set up Ark 2 by moving certain post-extinction developments that will play out in Lost Colony and on Arat Prime.
• ✅ It will close the stories of some characters and open new ones for others.

Players can explore Lost Colony and find new explorer notes in the game, as well as many other methods of storytelling.

• ✅ Rockwell is back to being a man in Lost Colony, naked and scared, dazed and confused about how he got to Lost Colony and in human form.
• ✅ Jeremy Stiglitz stated that Rockwell will not be the main antagonist in Lost Colony.

Will he temporarily be a good guy?

• ✅ The new evil boss lurks in the heart of Lost Colony.
• ✅ The Lost King appears to be calling it Giga Desmodus.
• ✅ It looks like a cross between a wyvern, a bat, and maybe a reaper.

Will both be part of the boss fight? Is this the Lost King's preferred mount? Or will this dark vampiric wyvern variant be a new tameable creature?

• ✅ There will be new gameplay mechanics in the form of an opposing force, also known as MPC and raid bases.
• ✅ The goal is to build a large city with dynamic enemy outposts for players to raid or, in other cases, defend.

Could be something similar to OSD-type world events.

• ✅ Gloom is a glowing oddity, repulsive or adorable, depending on who you ask.
• ✅ Its purpose is unclear, and its nature is unsettling.
• ✅ Its whispers might provoke unusual reactions in nearby creatures, calming some but provoking others.
• ✅ Some survivors say it can lead them to safety or somewhere else entirely.
• ✅ It will sit on the player's shoulder, a new shoulder pet, apparently having some kind of charge attack or light ability.

Could be some kind of Noglin variant.

• ✅ Aureliax looks like a cross between a wyvern, a magmasaur, and maybe even a basilisk.
• ✅ It is apparently massive in size, suggesting that two players may even ride this beast at the same time.
• ✅ It might be a flyer or not.
• ✅ It needs to be tamed by sacrificing one of your creatures or simply dropping items for it, which will determine the taming process.

Dolly clarified that she cannot confirm that there is even a sky in Lost Colony.
