The theme of the expansion is "Summer Vacation", as the Warrior of Light and friends travel to what's been known previously as "The New World":Tural, an area located in the Far West. The premise for the Warrior of Light traveling there is an invitation to a contest that will help decide the next ruler of its hub city, Tuliyollal. The Scions will be pitted against each other during the contest--just who will be on the Warrior of Light's side?

- Urqopacha, a mountainous region home to "peoples both exceedingly large and unusually small in nature."
- Yak Tel, a forest region accessible by dirigible.
- The Pelupelu, an allied tribe.
- A level cap increase to 100.
- Two new jobs, both DPS: one melee and one magical ranged caster.
- A "whiteboard" feature which will let players plan raid strategies.
- More details on the previously announced graphical update.
