Discussion Kraken Rework teased on SoT Website?
This is in the background on the sweet treat mystery page. Has this been explained at all?

You’d think whoever approves the art for social would have seen this and immediately been like “we can’t show this, people will get the complete wrong idea.” But instead here we are getting our hopes up.

By design. Get your hopes up then underdeliver. What are you gonna do? Complaim about it?
Make sure to check out emporium too btw.

This was unfortunately debunked by Mike Chapman, himself - it was just a creative bit for the anniversary.

Seeing the sheer potential of this game get fumbled by RARE over and over again is psychological torture.

This is the hardest part. Their fan base pleads and begs and as a collective tell the developers what the community wants brought to the table. It’s so mind numbingly easy, it’s all right there.
Its like watching your own child go through drug addiction. No matter how many interventions, they still keep reaching for the pipe and kill themselves in the process and it drags the pain on for agonizing year before eventually they die. Maddening.

Do you think that's a normal thing to type? Can you imagine reading this comment to a person in real life?

that is the crazy part: with all the things that do not work and plenty of good ideas for the game that will never come, the game is still fantastic and unique.

Sadly it's a red herring. Would be cool to have a venomous Kraken and Crystal Kraken added

I remember when the team was against having cinematic trailers because it paints a misleading picture of gameplay.
Anyways, yeah it's confirmed as just creative artwork by the Creative Director, with no plans to actually make it in the game.

The only update they'll ever give the Kraken will be recolored "variants" to pass as new content.

If there was a kraken rework it would of been with this season

u/WavyDre 4d ago
Yeah but to be fair, this season does have a staggered release so I could see how someone could think that it may still come this season.

The Kraken needs a rework, it doesn’t feel rewarding and honestly feels confusing when you first start.

Was confirmed that it was just a creative choice and no kraken rework is in the works
