Adventure 4 hint on title screen? 3 new islands?

  • So, each Adventure has its hint:
    Adventure 1: bottom left, golden sands + the compass.
    Adventure 2: bottom right, vessel.
    Adventure 3: We know adventure 3 is called "Shrouded deep2 (or something like that, my game is in Italian) and top left of the title screen we got a meg jaw with what looks to be the killer whale inside, which we can safely assume is an Adventure 3 hints.

    Now, logically I'd assume the hints are going counterclockwise and so top left is Adventure 4 hint: a damaged flag with 2 swords and a chalice, the chalice is also on top of the map, at the center. (the mask on the left is a clear hint to the PL Voyage instead, as in the trailers we saw the Pirate Lord holding it).

    So is the chalice the only hint we got for Adventure 4? I don't think so: take a closer look at the map in the title screen.
    The Devil's Roar is missing, we know that before year 1 the Devil's Roar was still inside the Shroud, but we also know that in some cases the opposite happened and some island actually got engulfed by the shroud, like Tribute's Peak.
    Basically I think that that map is a memory summoned from the past too, at the time the Devil's Roar was still within the Shroud, but 3 new very big islands can be seen on top left, top right and bottom right of the map, one per sea (excluding the Devil's Roar).
    Could it be that with Adventure 4 we're gonna see 3 new islands coming out of the Shroud? What else could those marks be?

    PS: unfortunately, as stated below by others, i was wrong about the islands, the map on the title screen always had those 3 islands at each corner but bottom left. :(

  • I don't know about this. I have checked and this map is definitely different, but it looks like the islands have been rearranged. to me the biggest hint in the map is how pronounced the arena tavern is. lets hope that they do something with it.

    Yep, the islands are kinda rearranged but still roughly in the same position, but the 3 islands I'm talking about cannot be any of the existing ones. The shape and dimension are just too much different, these are also placed beyond the 3 islands that are supposed to be on the corners. I also feel like they are foreshadowing something as each island is only half shown, imo on purpose.

  • The map on the title screen hasn't changed in years...

    Wow, I actually never noticed those "islands" then. Guess what those are at this point, if they have been there all this long and we still don't know what those are O.o (maybe we already know about them and I missed something?)

    Then the only hint is the chalice, which is obviously tied to the Reaper faction, in this case might point to a rite of either becoming a skeleton or bringing Flamheart back from the dead I guess, the second one seems most likely to be accurate as we can't see the big head in the sky anymore, so we can safely assume something is going on, possibly the rite itself.

  • @realstyli ....Even older 😉

    Aye! I have a few early ones but they have the logo. Only since I got my Stream Deck with a dedicated screenshot button have I been able to time (or spam) the screenshot shortcut to get the clean backgrounds. Nice to have for the memories, desktop backgrounds, and to admire the amazing work they’ve done on them over the years!

  • The map is the exact same as it's been sense launch, I don't think that this is now a hint to something.
