I guess this explains why they extended the "Precious Metals" event.

Update 1 was released on a Thursday, so I'm guessing this one will be released on the 25th then.

 

EDIT: Looking at the screenshots, I wonder if the new Torment MP map is a hint for a location in one of the DLCs. Every MP map so far is based on an environment from the campaign, while Torment has an "overgrown foliage on a facility" aesthetic that isn't present anywhere in the campaign.

Yeah, Thursdays are also when new events start.

While that does seem interesting, I should probably add that Torment's overall base aesthetic is heavily rooted in Cultist Base/Doom Hunter Base more than anything.

That said, I still do remember a piece of Eternal's concept art that does show a ruined facility in a jungle setting overtaken by foliage, so perhaps a Plutonia-style map could still be in the cards for the DLC.

I'm really digging the whole overgrown aesthetic of the new multiplayer, giving me strong Plutonia vibes.

I was thinking the same thing.
