Grinding Gear also revealed what will be in the 1.03 update, which it hopes to include:

New Uniques: There are several new Unique items, and we’re hoping at least one of them will be another Map.
-
New Achievements: There are two coming in 1.0.3.

Vendor Recipes: We’ve added a few more recipes. Some of these are very appropriate for racers.

Passive skills to support degeneration and chaos damage skills.
