@@BrunoMaricFromZagreb In case you didn't know, the entire map in rain world is surrounded by a giant wall that keeps the giant floods on the outside from sweeping things away on the inside. A stable structure that keeps the inside from being a terrible muddy mess.
I honestly suspected that would be their ability. Also, apparently it's confirmed that The Watcher's color blends in with the "black" channel of the palette of whatever region they're in (or something like that)
This feels not like a dlc, but an entirely new Rainworld, especially with how each segment shown seems to be completely new. Extremely impressive, can’t wait to see what the Watcher holds!
Dark Souls and Rain World are the only two games that gave me back the feeling that games gave me as a kid. A sense of wonder. It felt like anything could happen.
I wanted to leave it here for the video cult that rain world changed my life, I love this game with all my heart, so much so that I haven't stopped playing, running campaigns and designing rain world since its launch, I love the way the world is made and it's great to follow this game until possibly its end, it was a unique and unique experience (in fact, I'm Brazilian and a regular rain world artist, making art for the game helped me a lot to evolve as an artist in general) and about the new dlc, I think it will be something similar to the reclaiming entropy mod, a wonder of the world of rain world post saint with final explanations of what was left open, even the name so slugcat and "the watcher"
What I noticed is what appears to be an increased tileset. Notice how Watcher moves smoothly along those slopes? That can't happen in the current game. Also, new iteration of the main theme.
Man I'm so grateful Videocult exist. They made my favorite game, nothing I have played can't match the uniqueness of Rain World. Truly amazing experience 👏
Has anyone looked at the logo for the watcher? Its decorated with both rot and leaves, which i think confirms that the watcher is looking at the cycles from the outside and can travel in time. The watcher most definitly is an echo.
Interestingly, if you speed up the video, it will sound like (or at least it is very close to) an iterator speaking... (I love this so much, can't wait for The Wawatcher to arrive :D)

Teoría 1: The Whatcher puede viajar en el tiempo debido a que hay climas muy variados(desiertos secos, nieve y zonas de lluvia). Teoría 2: La criatura que sale probablemente es amistosa y se usa similar a los ciervoconejos(raindeer).

oh and here is a rainworld meme. "POV:ur a rainworld player and someone tells you to touch grass 'i cant touch the grass.' 'why?' 'I T W I L L C O N S U M E M E' "
timestamps for interesting stuff i notice here !! 0:54 odd background props, sound sort of implies organs? interesting!! 1:03 still no iterators in the skyline.. huh 1:07 purple voidspawn? also watcher looks kind of invisible here there are CLEARLY darker blacks in the room for it to take the palette of - does watcher /go invisible?/ 1:09 HERMIT CRAB???
the weird creature could be a purposed organism meant as a drill too, has a drill-like mechanism on it's back mb i missed the eye stalks somehow, so it _is_ a hermit crab thing (could still be a drill on it's back though, there's weird things on it that allude to the back object either being some REALLY weird shell or a full on drill)
The no iterators part is intriguing. They're a core part of Rain World's identity, are we possibly seeing the world during the time of the ancients, or during the iterators' construction?
I really like that rain deer - like drill creature at the end. Looked very interesting. Also, the scene where we see purple versions of the void spawn.
keep in mind, in one of the dev commentaries, they said that they made the effects for the snow and the big stuff as underwhelming as possible, so the world's gonna look even better than this.
The life, death, and rebirth of thousands of creatures, each one's cycle, a ripple on the water's surface, overlapping and interfering with each other as each one's cycle endlessly expands. Honestly, a very interesting metaphor Consider: A droplet of rain pierces the still water. A ripple. A ring, ever expanding. Consider: Movement along the circumference of a ring. From one eye a loop, from one eye a spiral. From one eye the motion of a line. Consider then: A second drop. A thousandth. A multiplex of rings, spirals, interacting in countless ways. A froth. A seethe. An effervescence!
Maybe the DLC is just the trailers.
Maybe WE were the Watchers this entire time.
Maybe the watcher was the friends we made along the way

That would be peak story culmination, just as Disney wanted it.
slugcats would look at this and go "hell yeah"
and then the credits (really epic) roll and cool music and then we will be left wondering what's next

HERMIT CRAB THINGY I LOVE THEM ALREADY
Teoría 1: The Whatcher puede viajar en el tiempo debido a que hay climas muy variados(desiertos secos, nieve y zonas de lluvia).
Teoría 2: La criatura que sale probablemente es amistosa y se usa similar a los ciervoconejos(raindeer).
Teoría 3: La región de corar caves puede que sea solo una demostración de que el personaje se puede usar con mods de la comunidad y no necesariamente de que este incluida en el dlc.

Creo que la nueva criatura es un especie de tuneladora o puede que sea su caparazón o ambas
Se puede hacer invisible o la iluminación de esa sala es de esa forma(en el otro trailer aparece de la nada)
