My guess for what Part 2 of the dev update may hold
For context to those who didn't see the last part of the dev update: This is part 1 of 2 for the dev update, meaning we still have more to come at us.
I am gonna be optimistic about this, please be optimistic in the responses as well
Maps
I'd expect us to get our next realm beyond update for midchapter, being haggu getting her maps all updated as we had a bug awhile back where the grass in the corner was updated, but nothing else was changed on one of her maps.
I also assume this because I know the devs down at bhvr LOVE puns and jokes, so good chance this will happen next update to fit the theme of us getting Boon totems with midchapter.
This one I kinda hope for, I hope we get a new variant for haggu's maps to fit our new survivor who will have our first Boons. I'll go more indepth about Boon totems next, but i'd expect this map to possibly be reworked.
I can assume that we do have a chance to have another map reworked, but idk what map
Introduction to BOON TOTEMS
I'd expect devs to introduce us to Boon totems, and talk about how these boon totems work in depth, as in if they only apply to dull totems or can survivors apply them to hex totems to both cleanse the hex and apply to boon (Though I expect that to probably take 2x as long). In this post they'll probably talk about our first hex totem and maaaayyybeeee see a default perk become a boon with it, so we could be teased with more changes coming with the midchapter update. We could also see a reveal to the next survivor with the release of Boon totems.
Possibility of more perk changes
A dev in an interview mentioned how we will be seeing more perks in the scourge hook category, so I would like to assume that we'll be seeing some more scourge hooks
"Q) Pinhead's perk, "Scourge Hook: Gift of Pain" puts a rewarding twist on killers hooking survivors. Can we expect more "Scourge Hook" perks in the future, and why did you decide that survivors cannot see Scourge Hooks.
A) Firstly, yes, we will be seeing more Scourge Hook perks in the future. They're like Hex perks with the Hag- they won't be exclusive to him from now on out. This is a type of perk they want to create a new gameplay space with- more around the hooks.
So they chose that type of balance based on PTB feedback and internal playtesting, and this is the best set up they feel like they can have for the moment. Of course, as players interact with the perk more, and it becomes one of the normal perks you can use, they'll see if they need to adjust it a little bit more."
(Thank you @/GoodBoyKaru for making that post about the one interview literally almost nobody knew even happened or else I wouldn't have been fully aware of this even happening)
So I would like to assume that Monstrous shrine will be turned into a scourge hook and apply to hooks above ground, but only 4 hooks, just like Gift of Pain (Heh just noticed the abbreviation for that is GoP, now I'll be laughing at that for about 3 minutes) and we could be seeing more with it, I just dunno what we could be seeing turned into Scourge hooks yet
Conclusion
The final part of the post will probably say the PTB date, probably gonna be tuesday and i'll see people getting really happy about it...right?😅
Final words

Also I would like to see what everyone else would like to see in the part 2 of our dev update
Have a nice day everyone and look up ducks swimming and look at images, its worth it

I think they’ll probably announce the key/mori rework but that wishful thinking

Part 1 honestly looked like a whole patch, but if part 2 is like peanits said to be "as good as part 1" and this ends up being like 2 patches mixed into one this could be an incredibly good update

Sounds reasonable, though I do not expect further perk changes for this update. (Wouldn’t have anything against it though)
also possible might be info on the upcoming Halloween Event. But that could of course come later on as it wouldn’t be part of the PTB.

If they do that as well I'll honestly be even more impressed by this update

I doubt there will be map graphic update sadly. As they didn't show any map arts...
My guess is about Boon Totems, (maybe and hopefully) reducing grinds.

I'm saving this one to my duck folder

I'm hoping they will finally give an update on cross progression but I'm not getting my hopes too high 😔

I hope keys are finally getting the nerf they need.

Good takes, let's see how they pan out.
For the part about boons applying to hexes as well, I'm skeptical. The killer would know by default where the boon would be, because they could see the location of their original hex. That would defeat the purpose, assuming killers can deactivate boons.
