As the digital sun rises over Speranza, anticipation electrifies the air. Players are about to witness something unexpected—a surprise Shared Watch event that’s set to change the game. You can almost feel the buzz; it’s a call to arms for every Raider out there.

Normally, announcements from the developers come wrapped in a shroud of detail, but this time, things are different. The cryptic silence from the team hints at something special lurking just around the corner. Let’s piece together the scattered clues surrounding this imminent event.

The Countdown to Shared Watch

The clock is ticking, and February 10 is the day to mark in your calendars. Interestingly, this event operates independently of the much-anticipated Shrouded Sky update, creating a unique bubble of excitement. Pay attention: the countdown clock below will vanish as the event kicks off.

Hurry Up!

The clock is ticking, counting down the moments to excitement:

  • 2am PT
  • 4am CT
  • 5am ET
  • 10am UTC
  • 11am CET

Following this schedule is classic for the development team, and it seems there’s no hint of a departure from this rhythm for the upcoming event.

Duration of the Shared Watch Event

This isn’t a fleeting moment but a galactic affair set to last for a fortnight. The event will continue until February 24, leading seamlessly into the start of Expedition 2. There’s a sense of urgency here—don’t let this slip away!

While details remain sparse, the essence of the event has been conveyed in the official trailer. It encapsulates teamwork and mutual trust between players. The community has expressed a yearning for a PvE mode, and this might be the first taste of such collaborative gameplay.

Until now, friendly lobbies offered a glimpse of PvE, though there was always a layer of rivalry. The Shared Watch event stands poised to officially redirect our focus, driving the battle against the ARCs as a united force. The question looms: how will this change the very fabric of your raids?
