Blackout Rugby Has Officially Launched!



After many long years of work, countless hours, wins, losses, employees that have come and gone, and many new club managers, Blackout Rugby has officially been published! A journey that has taken much longer than expected, but alas, we are early access no more!



This also goes for our Mobile version. Our game is now live on both the Android Play Store and the IOS App Store! This has been an especially challenging part of development, but we’ve finally reached the end of the tunnel.



This is a big step for us as a company. Over the past year, we’ve worked hard to acquire funding to help take Blackout Games to the next level, and we’ve been blessed to receive incredible backing and financial investment (more details to come!).



We want to thank all the early players, mobile testers, bug reporters, community members, content creators, and anyone who helped us in this journey. Every club manager climbing the ladder and doing their daily tasks, your support has helped us in this journey. It wouldn’t be the same without you.

We’re just getting started though. As we start to Market our game and tackle our next biggest project: Blackout Football Manager, there are bound to be plenty of road bumps ahead. So we hope you stick with us!



If you want to support us during this exciting step, the best thing you can do is leave an honest review on our store pages (Steam, Play Store, & the App Store). You can also share our game with friends/family who might enjoy it. There’s always room for more club managers on the ladder!

Once again, from the team at Blackout: Thank You.

New Club Shields + A Sneak Peek At New Trophies!



We’ve just dropped a huge collection of new shields to spice up your club! Here’s what we’ve got in-store right now.

[h2]Base Collection[/h2]
More shield variants are available in-game.

This stunning new collection of shields lists at 80 tokens each, with Blackout Rugby Premium users having access to them for free! (While they have an active premium subscription, of course).

This preview is just a teaser, and you can explore the expansive range of shields in-game.

[h2]Gold Collection[/h2]


This collection is a bit more expensive, but it’s worth it for the extra shine. Each of these costs 180 tokens. But like the base collection, are also free to users who currently have Blackout Rugby Premium.

Is that all we’ve got? Not quite. There’s one more collection of shields we’d like to show off.

[h2]Premium Collection[/h2]
Only purchasable by users with Blackout Rugby Premium.

These are our extra-exclusive (and extra shiny) shields. These are only available to users with Blackout Rugby Premium (hence the name: Premium), and each shield costs 1000 tokens. Truly the rarest and most exclusive items in the game!

If you’re concerned about losing one or more of these shields after ending your premium subscription, don’t worry. While these Premium Collection shields are only purchasable by those with a premium subscription, they’ll stay with your club even if you cancel your subscription.

If you equipped a Base Collection or Gold Collection shield that you had free access to during your premium subscription, this shield will remain equipped even if said subscription ends. If you unequip it, however, you will have to purchase it (or resume your Blackout Premium subscription) to gain it again.

[h2]Where can I find these new shields?[/h2]

These shields are in the Club Customization section, where the standard unlockable shields are located. First, head over to the tokens icon in the top left of the screen.



Next, click “Customization” down the bottom, which will take you to the new shields, along with additional ways to customize your club.



And here you are!



[h2]New Trophies?[/h2]

That’s right. We’re working hard behind the scenes on a lot of exciting new features. Some of which we’ll be revealing very soon. But until then, we thought we’d tease some new trophies that our team’s been working on!



Now, what could these trophies be for? I suppose it’ll stay a mystery for now.

Keep on the lookout for more updates in the near future, as we’ve got a look cooking on the horizon.

Thanks again for being a part of our community and playing our game. Your support means a great deal to us. And a big thanks to our team who’ve been hard at work behind the scenes!
