Destiny calls:
Somewhere far out into the ocean, there is an island. A mysterious place that can only be reached... from space!
After getting over the mountain in Map 1 and falling into the cauldron you find yourself high up in the sky, Before you know it you crash on an island. What will you find at its peak?

Explore a map full of branching paths, shortcuts, optional areas and new obstacles and mechanics.
Collect various new unlockable items to customize your character even further or make use of the new Pause Effects which expand upon co-op gameplay. This co-op is opt-in and can easily be toggled in the Multiplayer Menu, which is the new name for the Friends Menu. (Note: Map 3 co-op will not be available on launch day. Also, additional co-op Pause Effects might be added at a later point.)
The update includes 33 new achievements of varying difficulty, indicated by the green background. Getting the Pogo Master rank will still require you to get all 29 blue achievements as it was before, no changes there. (Note: I did not have time to make a unique icon for every achievement yet, those will come at a later point.)
If you manage to get all new achievements and fulfill certain other requirements you now can achieve the prestigious and exclusive rank of Pogo Legend. This title is reserved for the best of the best, and people will see your accomplishment by a green slightly sparkling nameplate in the lobby. Oh, and if you want to go undercover and roleplay as an absolute beginner you now can toggle your name color in the Misc Menu.
To check your progress on getting Pogo Legend head to the Wardrobe Menu and press that green new button. The page that comes up will download and sum up all your best times and submit the result to a new competitive Pogo Legend leaderboard.
The top ranked players in said leaderboard will get some additional cosmetic options in the future.
The update includes various other technical improvements and smaller features, many of which have been patched in last year already.
NOTE: I plan to make a few adjustments to the map over the course of the next 2 weeks presumably. These include some graphical updates but small changes to the map layout also. Most importantly though the finale of the map could change slightly, that is the last 5-10%. It is very much not forgiving or lenient right now which would be detrimental to speedrunning in particular. Frustration is what I've tried to avoid with this map.
