Edit (ongoing): with quick notes:
Main Features in Fangs of Asterkarn:
Ascendant Game Mode: new difficulty, if you are playing endgame now it'll be on that level, with new rewards; like Veteran mode on Normal rather
A Transformative 10th Mastery: berserker with shapeshifting to beast modes, two shapeshift forms, from items too; not just shapeshifting but melee magic too; focuses on cold and bleed; "Dreadblade" is one mastery combo name
New Chapter: head west to rugged wilderness of Asterkarn, forest, caverns, snow regions, also hotter areas ...
Potion Customization: what ingredients for effects, containers, two potion slots
Affix Transmutation: meet an inventor to allow reroll affixes and seed
Crucible Expanded: 30 additional waves, new loot
The Shattered Realm Grows: expanded with new boss arenas, etc., to to realm 90 with loot
Discover Hundreds of New Items: more MI for older monsters too
Awaken Epic Items: can turn epic to legendary, make them viable for endgame (procs, modifiers, etc)
Two New Factions
Other:
more of a side story; can do it when you want (like Forgotten Gods)
paid full expansion; expect similar price to eithers
no gameplay to show yet
only had some key art with a readheaded woman wearing some furs in a frozen mountain area with big mammoth-like creatures in the background
no raised level cap
Grim Misadventures will continue with more soon
charges for skills: multiple casts before cooldown
on consoles as well
2 roguelike dungeons post-release (free content update)
relic upgrades (easier crafting in patch 1.2, not sure if something is for expansion separately?)
timeline: "next year" (2024) thanks u/jackals4
probably bigger than Forgotten Gods area
no new components
just like Forgotten Gods, this will be the last Grim Dawn expansion
