New Map Details: Thebes
The headline feature of the patch is Thebes, a battleground split by a sea of sand and stolen devotion. Two massive monuments dominate opposite ends of the arena: Apocalypse's Pyramid on one side and the Temple of Khonshu on the other.
The location comes tied to specific story elements involving Moon Knight and Khonshu. In this arena setting, a rapidly weakening Khonshu is trying to reclaim his stolen faith. Moon Knight arrives at the site carrying dark suspicions, demanding answers from Khonshu directly in front of the Faith-Harvesting Engine.
