With only 1 province( realm) unlocked the story is only just unfolding. Due to the way SG ramp up the difficulty as you have progressed in previous seasons creating a free roaming story would need a major overhaul so expect to follow the same pattern as previous
Yes, and a couple people have commented that the dialogue seems a little improved vs. S2.
Not good, justā¦less awful. 
There might be 
Weāre only seeing the first 3 of whatāll probably be 36 Provinces in total.

That has been the big mystery. Where will Thanos wear that sixth icon, one wonders?
Iām wondering if the heroes from the 9th realm will be the best - looking at you Thor, Loki, and Odin. Does that mean I should wait towards the end of the year to do those S3 summons? Just like Kage and Poseidon were the hardest hitters from S2 and werenāt revealed until near the end

thereās always eventual power creep. if you wait 3 years, there will be even better heroes. And if you wait 10, we might even have 8 star heroes (assuming the game still exists).

Beta Update
Beta has reopened, with the first 4 Provinces available, as well as balance changes to Heroes and Realm Bonuses, and the first appearance of the Valhalla Summon Portal.

Soā¦ would Thor + the Avengers be the ultimate boss of season 3?
@zephyr1 I know itās hard to speculate, butā¦ with the quickly closing and reopening Beta for season 3 does that mean we might get it this month?
What will be the first heroes of the beginning of season 3? Will we have HOTM on the portal? Any tips?

Itās possible, and the rapid Beta cycles certainly point toward imminent release.
At this point I suspect itāll likely be next month at latest.
We do know that Version 27 was planned for release in late February, and itās looking like Season 3 will be in Version 27 ā so itāll just be a question of whether they release in time for Season 3 to start the last week of February.

As a very happy owner of Poseidon, I was wondering this same thing.

Thanks for that educated guess. 
Iāve been looking forward to all the new aspects of the game. Path of Valor has been a nice change to some of the repetitive grinding in the game. Season 3 looks like itāll bring some unique changes as well.

Maybe it was asked before - I havenāt found it:
What are the preconditions for season 3?
Do you need to complete a certain S2 map in order to start it?
What is the required TP (roughly) in order to play it?
Thanks in advance

Still donāt know this, unfortunately.
Itās looking relatively on par with Season 2 to start, so 4* are very workable.

Iāve completed the first 3 provinces in Normal difficulty with my farming team of rainbow 5*s while autobattling. Other testers reported that they were able to complete Normal with rainbow 4* teams as well (not sure if they auto-battled).
I did a little bit of Hard difficulty yesterday, I tried with my rainbow team of 5*s and still managed to complete the first few levels in province 1 ā however I did not autobattle this time, I went in actually doing moves.
Since Beta reopened our progress in the story got wiped for our Beta accounts, so we need to redo these stages (Normal and Hard)

Do we expect any Beta update before Atlantis closes?
I have no hurry with season 3 heroes but if Hel would be returning iād rather wait for that one
It would be incredibly unusual for Beta to be updated over the weekend, so no, I donāt expect updates before Monday or Tuesday.
