The world of Aelion has a whole lot of deities, but players in Skyforge will quickly discover that this is for the same reason that people in areas full of predatory cats tend to be good at running. The planet’s been invaded time after time, and some of the remnants of those invasion forces are still hiding on the planet, building up power to make another go at wrecking up the place. They can be detected only by analyzing minor spatial distortions, a lead-in to the Distortions that players will take on as part of the endgame.
Distortion battles take place in a closed arena, with players facing off against four difficult opponents in quick succession. The most recent development post explains a battle against a series of water creatures led by the fearsome Kraken, but there are several other opponents waiting for players once the game goes live. With a 15-minute time limit and a host of strong opponents, Distortions are meant to provide challenging and coordination-heavy content in quick bursts.
