The Corrupted update is not a replacement for the Zen Event; rather, it’s an expansion of the previous update’s themes. It will introduce a new corrupt channeler, who will seep tranquility from the game’s atmosphere.

Your objective will be to restore balance to the game world by playing through the update’s contents. Precisely how one would go about fulfilling this objective remains to be seen. Per the official Roblox event page, the new gameplay aspects will be plentiful, bringing you new themed elements to go with the Zen Event.

You can expect the standard suite of update content, such as Seeds, Pets, Weather Events, etc., to arrive with this patch. Players have speculated on the release of the Trading mechanic as well.
