It revolves around a mysterious prison escape, rogue Scorn experiments, and ancient Awoken secrets. It features new mechanics, dungeon puzzles, and solo challenges.
To access it, players must have access to the Lightfall dungeon key, which is included with the Lightfall Annual Pass or available separately from the Eververse.
