Yeah 2019 was a Amazing Year… not only Content / Feature-wise but also alot of Updates which worked on the rough Edges. Its a even more polished and smoother Game now, and i really can’t wait for what us await at 2020… no matter what will happen with GD. Especially the Totems are something which i really look forward to… but oh boy the shield looks stunning.

upcoming secret area around the arkovian ruins… it seems the arkovian undead will get major updates.
or is it a sign from some of the arkovian celestials? maybe mogmog will gave new infos later.
that being said, if crate’s willing to add new content to main vanilla campaign after fg is done, that means more content updates for vanilla world maps…

New Crate game will let you build bridges and connect them with Devil’s crossing.

2019 was surely a good year for GD and its playerbase.
Hm, seeing that bridge screenshot gives me hope that you’ve planned to open more “alternate paths” for players that already finished the game content and won’t be in danger of skipping main quest line. It surely would make the world feel more open to explore.
And seeing the Arkovian ruins reminded me of something. The Sunken Reliquary never got the visual upgrades that Old Arkovia and it’s ruins gotten (new meshes and textures). Was this a deliberate decision or was it just forgetfulness?

OLD GROVE!!!
it’s a Twin Falls bridge tho 
Thanks…
They know they cant drop the game without Hangman Jarvis’s questline to avenge the past that haunts him. The answers can be found when we help him fix the bridge down south. Lets have faith in Crate that they can make this work for us. Time to help our dear friend in this special soon to come dlc.

Is that the bridge leading to Tyrant’s Hold?
Oh my, 2019 was treat and now it looks like 2020 will be one as well. Real happy to see how far the game has come. Wish the guys at Crate good luck with their future ventures as well.

…and don’t forget medierra’s recent comment on the topic either:
A 3rd expac is not looking likely at all.

Not to mention that a 3rd expansion would probably delay the release of the Xbox version since Crate want to do that as a bundle of base game and expansions. Can’t do that if a third is on the way.

gd’s 3rd expansion will most likely be true. the expansion is the sequel.
btw, remember titan quest? the anniversary edition remaster the old tq+immortal throne after 10 years. several months later, ragnarok (not really) expansion brings viking and bandits with loud death screams to tq. then around a year after that, atlantis expansion bring casinos to tq.
my point is, if tq can get expansion after ~10 years, then gd will be even more likely to get expansion/sequel faster. since gd community and development activity is much more lively than titan quest community.
Looks like more bridges to mend?
Great Work Crate,
Cheers,

While i for one, still would instabuy and love a third expac… i’ve yet to admit this Questions about a third Expac, sometimes even from the same people while there are already answers of it to not happen (most likely), kinda exhausts me, and i can’t understand how you folks aren’t annoyed by it, even more considered you have to deal with that stuff more often us mere normal forum user.
cause they chose not to be annoyed by it. you can too… or just ignore it altogether…
Im done demanding a third expansion btw, Im sick and tired of it myself, its too demanding and taxing to the body to think about it whole day cause it will never happen in a long time anyway . 3rd expac will prolly happen on Feb 2026… exactly 10 years from release… by then who knows will have GD2 or someother new flagship game by that time
Well, it’s a different situation. Titan Quest’s IP was bought by another company so of course they’d want to do something to make money on it. For GD it’s up to Crate if/when they decide to do anything else with the franchise. Zantai’s comment about GD fans being interested in what he’s working on suggests something in the pipeline, but we’ll see if/when the project comes to fruition.
Can’t be annoyed when people are still showing such enthusiasm for the game. Yes, it’s repetitive and sometimes I wonder why it still gets asked, but it does because people love the game and want MOAR of it. I can see their point and in some ways I’d love to have more too, but I also think as Zantai said it would bloat the game too much. I’m one of those people who like to play all 3 difficulties so for me the game is big enough now. Adding yet another expansion or expansions would simply make it too tedious to play through all the difficulties. Besides I’m dying to find out what other games Crate can make for us to enjoy. I’m looking forward to the town builder since that’s another genre I love. What else Crate will come up with I wait with baited breath to find out. Bring it on Crate! 
My most favourite QoL feature of the past year, and it wasn’t even mentioned in OP… “Transfer all crafting materials to current stash page” (sorry I don’t know if it has official name).
As mentioned, autopickup and monster health bars were already available in Grim InternalS before, and to be honest they feel better than the official implementation. “Transfer crafting materials” had no equivalent and the impact was huge for me, hunting for individual bits of material everytime I wanted to clear my inventory was a chore, and there was always some ring or medal that ended where it should not have.
Thanks for the great game. 1385h and I’m not done yet. There are still two achievements I don’t have, and who knows what goal will get my attention after that. All that time without mods. Or at least without content mods (I don’t personally count grim internals as a mod, but regardless of my oppinion it’s strictly QoL, no content). No game has managed to do that, my second best is sitting somewhere around 700h, only 500 of it with vanilla content.
When someone ask you what you do in GD end game now you can say: we repair bridges!
Beside the joke, thanks for 2019, Crate! You guys never let us down!
