Class is in session and we are in full attendance! As it has become the case for our Seasonal Events, we’ve got a stacked returning roster of Legends Skins from years past. From Furst Day Asuri to Rocker Volkov to the brand new Cheer Captain Brynn, everyone is Back to School in style!

Brynn won’t be the only one cheering for the squad in Home Team Colors, because Victor our fiercely cuddly mascot has also come Back to School! For our Emoji connoisseurs, you’ll notice three new Emoji’s chock full of school spirit. Just like everyone has a favorite subject– everyone will have a favorite Back to School Event Item, use them with pride! From the graduated class of forever students, we hope you enjoy this long awaited Event!





For the full list of details and to see how you can participate in the Game Performance test, check out the full blog post!

[h2]Game Performance[/h2]

We’re testing out a fix for reported graphical stutters on Steam using the “tech-test” branch.

To help us test this update:

Right click on Brawlhalla in your Steam library, select “Properties”, navigate to “Betas”, and select “tech-test – Testing new engine tech”. Then, navigate to “General” of Brawlhalla Properties, and in the launch options text field enter “-framefix -setfps 240”. (Change 240 to whatever the maximum hz your monitor is capable of, generally 144, 240, or 360.)



[h2]Skirmishes[/h2]

Skirmishes will be a type of in-game event that splits players into several personal preference themed teams called “Factions” to compete against each other for points called “Influence.” Players earn Influence for their Faction when playing Brawlhalla, and players get bonus Influence for their Factions by playing Ranked against the opposing Factions! The Faction with the most Influence when the Skirmish ends is the winner.

Skirmishes will not be a new Game Mode. It’s a whole new thing. When you log in, you will choose a Faction and get Items based on that faction, like a Title and an Avatar. The winning Faction will get special versions of those Items. Skirmishes are limited time Events that will last around 1-2 weeks, and each Skirmish is a unique theme with unique rewards. We are looking to launch the first Skirmish in October and we’ll have more information on it as we get closer to the date.



[h2]UI Refresh First Look[/h2]

Viewers of the stream got a first look at the first ever major Brawlhalla UI overhaul!

After last year’s refresh of our logo and branding we were inspired to link the in-game UI with this new aesthetic. You’ll notice Legend splash arts in Legend select, a brand new look for the top right player menu, new fonts, all new buttons, and many many other things.



[h2]Damage Numbers[/h2]

This highly-requested new opt-in feature will give an option for players to toggle on a view that displays how much Damage their Legend has taken. On-release this option will be available to select in the top right Player Menu.



[h2]BCX 2024[/h2]

We’ve only begun to preview some features coming to Brawlhalla in the near future. There are many more reveals in store to be shown at BCX 2024! Sign up as a spectator or competitor at BCX.LIVE to be among the first to witness these announcements.

Imugi

We have decreased the Damage of Imugi's Side Axe to bring the reward in line with its general utility. Similarly, Imugi's Down Greatsword now has significantly greater Recover time on miss and deals less Damage to better match its high degree of utility. Imugi's Side Greatsword now has greater Minimum Charge time, granting a wider window to interrupt or evade this Signature. Some of this lost total Damage has been shifted into the Neutral Greatsword anti-air, but we have also adjusted the Force for less knockback distance at most health ranges while maintaining the knockout potential at late health ranges. As this marks his first balance adjustments after release, Imugi is now legal for all official tournaments.

• Side Axe: Decreased total Damage from 23 to 21.
• Neutral Greatsword: Increased total Damage from 22 to 24; Changed Force from 50 Fixed/45 Variable to 40 Fixed/48 Variable.
• Side Greatsword: Increased Minimum Charge time from 14 to 17.
• Down Greatsword: Increased total Recover time on miss from 18 to 24; Decreased total Damage from 26 to 23.

Gameplay

• Decreased Bubble Bomb Force Multiplier by 32% for more appropriate knockout power.
• Made various performance improvements relating to shadows and other known issues.

Mallhalla

• New filter option: “Base Type” – allows Skins to be filtered by their corresponding Legend & Weapon Skins to be filtered by Weapon.

UX

• Removed “leader chooses” from Couch Party games.
• Players can now send or accept an invite from the scoreboard screen on mobile.

Localization

• Updated Turkish localization for ”Battle Pass”, “Season”, and “Progress”.
• Level-up items have been renamed to their proper name, “Progression” (all languages).
• Updated Portuguese Localizations for Hardlight Weapons, Asgardian Shoto Lightsabers, and “You May Call Me…” Title.
