As the weather heats up, you might sometimes wish you could escape the sun by ducking under the cool earth. In AFK Journey's latest season, Echoes of Dissent, you can do just that! But be warned, the challenges underground are just as intense as those you faced on the surface.

Echoes of Dissent plunges Merlin into Brimstone Village to investigate rising tensions. However, the situation quickly escalates, with the underground elvish kingdom of Sal'Thorin facing a crisis due to a dwindling supply of divine dew. Without this vital resource, its inhabitants are slowly transforming into monstrous beings.

To tackle these challenges, you'll be joined by two new key characters. Zanie, a dwarvish inventor, brings her skills in creating mechanical allies to the team. Meanwhile, Indris, the captain of the Sal'Thorin Guard, may find his misgivings leading him to align with Merlin and their allies.

While those hoping for a purely dwarf-focused experience might be disappointed by the inclusion of elves (a common dwarvish sentiment), the content in this update is undeniably rich. Alongside Zanie and Indris, you'll also meet Valara, Daimon, and Kulu, each adding a unique flair to your lineup.

One of the season's highlights is the 1v1 elimination tournament, Sunlit Showdown. Here, you'll enter the battlefield without carryover progression to test your heroes' mettle across three difficulty tiers. With six rounds to compete through and valuable loot at the end, this tournament is designed to keep even the most seasoned players on the edge of their seats!
