Timeline
November 7, 2026: GOKU's first defeat of The Riven King is announced.
Next week: The Infinite Tower update arrives.
Season Trajectory
The Infinite Tower extends QuestAway beyond its final boss into an open-ended endgame with no ceiling, rather than ending progression at The Riven King. Art X Games' plan to avoid class nerfs while buffing weaker classes signals an ongoing balancing approach for competitive and progression play.
Players who have beaten QuestAway can prepare to enter The Infinite Tower when the update arrives next week. Because its floors grow harder with no ceiling, the update will also improve drops and XP at lower levels to make early climbing more rewarding.
The takeaway
QuestAway's endgame now extends past its final boss, so players who finish the story have a new long-term challenge to pursue. Art X Games' promise to buff rather than nerf classes suggests the progression will stay balanced as the tower climbs higher.
What happens next
The Infinite Tower update is scheduled to arrive next week, when players can begin climbing its open-ended floors.
