Darkfall Developer Tasos Flambouras has published an activity report that outlines the team's recent sprint presentation. All of the game's development teams discussed their current work on the fantasy MMO, which includes details on the upcoming expansion:

"Before I go on, a few words on the next expansion: It’s code-named Darkfall Arena internally, what used to be called Darkfall 2010, we called it that because in its original design the plan for it was to come out within the previous year. In practice this re-launch project grew a lot bigger than the original design and we are taking this opportunity, and the extra development time, to make more fundamental changes to the game. A major catalyst for these changes is the Darkfall community’s feedback and player data we’ve collected over the past two years."

According to the activity report, the expansion will reshape the world of Darkfall. The team is streamlining the game by removing dead spaces, optimizing the terrain, and repositioning everything to bring points of interest together.
