The latest season of *AFK Journey*, titled *Echoes of Dissent*, is now live, bringing with it a wealth of new content and exciting challenges for adventurers ready to dive deeper—literally—into the world of AFK. This season introduces two brand-new heroes, Zanie and Indris, each with unique skills and backstories that enrich the evolving narrative of the game. Alongside them, players are invited to explore the newly revealed underground kingdom of Sal'Thorin, a breathtaking elven subterranean realm facing a dire crisis.
As temperatures rise above ground, the cool depths of Sal'Thorin might sound like an inviting escape. But don’t be fooled—what lies beneath isn't just shade from the sun. The story kicks off with Merlin traveling to Brimstone Village to look into rising tensions. From there, things quickly spiral out of control as the sacred divine dew sustaining Sal'Thorin begins to disappear. Without it, its people are mutating into monstrous creatures, threatening the balance of the entire region.
To help navigate this unfolding conflict, two new allies join your cause. First up is Zanie, a brilliant dwarvish inventor known for crafting powerful mechanical companions to aid in battle. Then there's Indris, the conflicted captain of the Sal'Thorin Guard, whose doubts may ultimately lead him to stand beside Merlin and his allies against the growing darkness.
Dwarves are natural sprinters, very dangerous over short distances
While some fans might have hoped for a more dwarven-centric storyline, the inclusion of the elven kingdom doesn't detract from the richness of the update. In fact, it enhances it. Alongside Zanie and Indris, the season also debuts three exciting new characters—Valara, Daimon, and Kulu—who bring fresh abilities and synergy options to your team composition, giving players even more strategic depth to explore.
Sunlit Showdown – New 1v1 Elimination Tournament
One of the most anticipated additions in *Echoes of Dissent* is the new 1v1 elimination mode called *Sunlit Showdown*. In this thrilling challenge, players enter the arena with no carryover progression, testing their hero builds across three difficulty tiers and six intense rounds. It’s a true test of strength and strategy, offering high-stakes gameplay and valuable rewards for those who emerge victorious.
