Okay with that out of the way lets get into some straight degen speculation.

Today, at the beginning of the AMA we saw the release of this Crystalvale teaser trailer — “A Perilous Journey Part 2”

This video features heroes being killed by a large sea creature followed by images of their cards being burned!

What does this mean?

Here’s my straight up degen speculation on how I think this will all play together with Crystalvale launch. Hope you enjoy!

My speculation is, like several others who I’m sure are thinking the exact same thing, is that there will be an option to early voyage to Crystalvale for exclusive quests and rare rewards, but at great risk, even the risk of losing your hero!

Why do I think this?

Back on Dec. 2, 2021, the team held an AMA and Frisk Fox mentioned the below:

What do you think of having these expansions being accompanied by event quests (i.e. an exploration event and people can do quests and rewards for exploring to the new chain)?

Frisky: Hubert would like to have a word with you because apparently it seems you’ve been spying on him and his plans. This is definitely in the works where we’ll have quests where you can go over earlier (existing heros) and have exclusive early access (could be some in game risk, etc) but there will be potential for some cool rewards and we’ll probably start announcing these things in the coming weeks and months.

Later in December, on Christmas Eve, Frisky made a suprise appearance in the Price Discussion channel and dropped these little nuggets:

Okay we were all excited, but I don’t think anyone had connected the prior statement about “in game risk” and Crystalvale early voyage with hero burning.

Frisky also said this:

And what did we recently get in the patch with the Castle update? A monument to what I presume is passed heroes.

A monument to heros, with flowers, which signify to me this is a monument to past heroes (likely passed away).

Then we get this teaser trailer where the heroes are attacked by a sea creature (with some cards being burned) on what appears to be a voyage to Crystalvale:

Lastly — the name of the teaser is literally THE PERILOUS JOURNEY.

What else might we expect to be able to see?

Gen0’s won’t be able to be burned (and probably wouldn’t be able to go)?

Would the hero be burned forever? Maybe not!?

Whatever happens, if this is a possibility I definitely have a lineup of some heroes that are going to be on the chopping block to be sent to war:

My heroes when I’m choosing who gets to take the perilous Journey.

Putting the disclaimer here again because you guys are a bunch of degens and probably skipped the other disclaimer.
