Hey everyone. We wanted to talk about why The Final Shape raid is going live shortly after release on June 7. We know this is a tight turnaround and wanted to share some context on why we made this decision. Back in August, we said that finishing the campaign would not be the grand finale of the Light and Darkness saga. You will be facing off against the Witness in the raid, and for non-raiders there will be an opportunity for everyone to experience the conclusion sometime after the raid.
The Final Shape expansion is different: the additional content in the Pale Heart post-campaign and unlocking the raid for everyone is important for getting a cohesive and satisfying story experience. We're looking at you, raiders, to be the tip of the spear. 👀
When raid day arrives, no matter if you choose to go in for Contest mode in the first 48 hours or wait for Normal mode to unlock, in order to experience the story linearly and as intended, you need to have the campaign completed and finish the quest 'Wild Card'. Prioritize those!
Episode Echoes story, the beginning of the next journey starts in week two.

Contest mode… like just why… it means that if we follow statistics the only people who will get to experience the ending properly is around 5-10% of raiders which is already a pretty small slice of the games community. Like I have no issue with the story being in the raid but having a forced contest mode seems like a massive Blam! move.
