unlocking episodes?
It gets unlocked even if you are no lv80. You just can’t complete it until lv80.
There will still be Open World content that may be permanent or may be transitory, whichever best fits the on-going Living World story.
You can watch/hear the Devs discuss and explain the new Living World Season Two on the Twitch Livestream ‘Developers Behind the Scenes – Journal/Season Two’.
