24.09.2026 PRE-ORDERS HOTLIST

Welcome to Autumn's first Pre-Orders Hotlist!

Hot temperatures and clear skies are a bit unusual for this time of the year, but I surely won't complain!
It does look like we are on one of those floaty Confusing islands, and if that were the case, surely being able to fly as if we were Trickarus would come in handy. Just don't fly too high!
Anyway, I prefer a more grounded and stable environment, like a nice and pristine Alpine lake, around which I could forage a bit, paying attention not to fall for some honeypot!
