COVID showed why the Developers need to release Relic content sooner.

They did say that the Bozja content would fill the void for leveling purposes at least, which is what a lot of people use Deep Dungeon for anyway.

Heaven on High and Palace of the dead existed with the relics at the same time.
The point is that we haven't seen what Hoh/Potd was replaced with in terms of time, cost, and development.

Bozja is a follow up to Eureka, not a follow up to Heaven on High.

While the look and feel is definately leaning towards a Eureka feel, I do believe the devs stated Bozja was going to be the PotD as far as alternative leveling choices. Obviously it's not the same format by any means.

For your comment on dev time- of course I don't know, but from what the live letters seem to say, they've invested heavily on the story of this Bozja content. They said something like the equivalent of a feature movie's worth of cutscenes or some such. I'd guess that's where the time went.

'course it's all speculation! Personally thought/hoped there would be a Secret of Mana "Mana Fortress Remnants" PotD dungeon in the ruins in Rak'tika.
