New Year New News ROUND-UP

We're back with the latest on Lethal League Blaze! Just a little back, on the edge of last year, we released the Lethal League Blaze Soundtrack here on Steam.



To quote the page:
"The Lethal League Blaze Soundtrack is an off-the-wall collection of bombtracks from artists all over the world.

Adoring the backside of this digital album are the likes of Hideki Naganuma and Frank Klepacki, the Russian experimentalist Pixelord, Ordinary Days' Klaus Veen and Bignic with his hard-hitting signature electro style. Joined by zeroSCAR, Grillo, chip-hop scientist Doctor Lazer and D Fast, hailing from Helsinki. And last, but not least, B. Bravo, Lean Rock and The Sleepers RecordZ bringing in the much needed b-boy breaks."

The OST also includes environment concept art boards with 11 pieces of high res character art thrown in just for the heck of it (even though we have 10 characters in the game...).



Really, give it a check. The profits are split so it's a good way to support all the artists in one big swoop. And have a listen to their other work while you're at it!




So for the upcoming Content Bombardment, ranks are going to be proper Divisions. Eight of them, the highest one being 1st Division. Every division has three Stars to more specifically show where you are placed. After each Ranked match you'll be able to see your progress to the next division in the result screen.



The improvements for Ranked play have been a long time coming. As such we feel it's good to give them a test run. Everyone is free to give it a try by joining the public beta.

Here's how to join the beta:
Right-click the game in your library and select properties. Then go to the Betas tab and select the public Beta from the drop-down menu. Please remember to switch back to opt-out afterwards because you can't play online with the other players while you're still in the Beta!

Tell us about any issues in the Team Reptile Discord in the #public-beta channel!

As the public beta becomes more stable, we can start to look at the date when all the freshness will drop along with the start of the 'clean slate' Ranked season very soon. Stay Tuned!
