NetEase Games emphasized their commitment to player feedback, acknowledging concerns about character balance (like Hawkeye's ranged advantage) and promising adjustments in the first half of Season 1. While rumors of a PvE mode circulate, the developers didn't address them in this announcement. The excitement surrounding Season 1: Eternal Night Falls is palpable amongst fans.
