Pre-Release
Work on 2.1 was announced in a Twitter post from Salted's personal account in January 2024:
| “ | we're gonna be releasing another major update before fruma. it will be a bit of a different update, as we don't want to slow down the development of fruma too much. but it'll also be very special and cool, y'all will like it, i think! stay tuned |
„ |
| ~ Salted[8] |
Another post was made in April 2024 from the Wynncraft Twitter account alongside an image of an Aspect (at the time unnamed):
| “ | For the past year, the team has been working on 2 major updates at the same time: Fruma and another yet-to-be-named update. We're hoping to unveil the latter before summer. Stay tuned! This is something the entire Minecraft community will want to see 🔥 |
„ |
| ~ Wynncraft[9] |
In the last week of May 2024, 2.1 teasers would start to be released by the day. The third post about 2.1 was made teasing the removal of Soul Points[10]. A day later, a post was made on the Item Team Thread on the forums regarding changes to Mastery Tomes[2]. A mysterious image would later be unveiled alongside a statement about Detlas a day after:
| “ | A Detlas citizen reported hearing a horde of monsters on the outskirt of the city. More updates coming soon. | „ |
| ~ Wynncraft[11] |
Two more posts were made regarding Detlas on May 30th:
| “ | It's not looking good. Scouts have been dispatched to gather more information. Check back in a few hours. | „ |
| ~ Wynncraft[12] |
| “ | Scouts have returned. This is no horde. We must protect the province at all cost. Check back tomorrow for orders. | „ |
| ~ Wynncraft[13] |
On the final day of May, a post was made regarding the support of all Detlas soldiers alongside another image:
| “ | Over the coming week, all soldiers are to return to Detlas to prepare for this threat. Sharpen your weapons, and steel your mind. We face Annihilation. We cannot fail. Final orders coming tomorrow. | „ |
| ~ Wynncraft[14] |
Additionally, the Wynncraft account icons and banners across all social medias changed to a more hellish color scheme. On June 1st, 2024, the final orders were given for all civilians to evacuate Detlas. In addition to this, the 2.1 trailer was announced to premiere a week from then, alongside the note that those who watch get a pet. A short was released that same day which showed a Shaman walking into the Silverbull Company Headquarters, who briefly looked at the Lootrun Chief and then a new NPC, later shown to be associated with the Raid Syndicate in the trailer. In addition to everything else, Detlas would receive several changes, these being:
- The removal of all Detlas Citizens in the town due to them being evacuated.
- The replacement of Detlas' normal music (Triumphant Citadel) with a more ominous soundtrack that would be constructed throughout the week (War's Knell).
- Ragni Soldiers appearing in Detlas.
- Admiral Aegis being in the center of Detlas to warn players of the attack and to direct them to the 2.1 website.
On June 2nd, the Kiwi Pet was revealed to be the pet that players would receive upon watching the 2.1 trailer[15]. A day after that, another teaser image was released later followed by an announcement confirming that Repair Scrap was removed[16]. After that, another image was revealed alongside a short showing a rebuilt Detlas Suburbs alongside a brief glance at a teaser image near the end. Another day later, a short was released which showed a random Lootrun event happening. Soul Points were later confirmed to be removed from the game[17] alongside another short being released showing an Archer wandering the Nivla Woods before being ambushed. On the final day before the trailer was released, a final short was made showing a rebuilt Roots of Corruption as a Warrior was going closer to the Corruption Portal. A greater look at the roots was shown in another tweet, quickly followed by another crude image shown to Media ranks. A few hours later, Salted announced that all the teasers in the buildup to 2.1 were finished which he posted alongside the final crude image shown, combining all of the other images into what is now known as Annihilation.
