We are sponsoring the tournament at Heat Wave 3 in Arizona this weekend with $300, which brings the total pot bonus up to $400!

At the time of writing, sign ups are at 33 players. That makes this the second largest local Lethal League Blaze tournament after stunfest!

If you cannot make it there yourself, the live stream is scheduled for 5 PM MST on Saturday October 19 at twitch.tv/azrivalsofaether with Dair Productions casting it.

We have reworked all character models and stages, tweaked visuals and drove over the code with a bulldozer a couple of times to vastly improve performance on Nintendo Switch in both docked and handheld mode. A 1v1 matchmaking mode is added for the competitively minded among a myriad of other fixes. Here’s the full list:

• Improved performance
  
• Added 1v1 online mode
  
• Fixed certain un-unlockable outfits
  
• Fixed memory leaks
  
• Higher resolution for docked mode
  
• Correct system language on first start
  
• Character model fixes
  
• Fixed unnecessary server logouts
  

Part of the team just returned from a trip to Japan. Showing Blaze at Tokyo Game Show and being there while the boxed version released in stores was a blast! Turns out that the Japanese fans are just as hyped up as the fans from everywhere else. The team got showered with gifts, hosted a tournament at the Dutch Embassy, did interviews and had an idol group play our game (peak Japanese right there). We even bought our own game too!



Physical releases are still pretty relevant in the land of the rising sun and Dion has never hidden the fact that he gets a lot of inspiration from Japanese creators. For these reasons it made sense to do a Japan-exclusive special edition for Switch and PS4. However, since the language can be switched ingame and they’re both region free, you can still buy the box from abroad, get the goodies and play it as you would normally. It contains the game, a sticker, an artbooklet and a little Candyman keychain. I’d say it’s a must for collectors.


This other upcoming uptown update will bring along the optimizations from the Nintendo Switch patch WITH of course the boyest of boys, Dust & Ashes. They will, like the rest of the cast, have alternate outfits to unlock and we’re happy to tease one of them today!

Well well, look who decided to show up...



Straight from the hereafter, it's Dust & Ashes

Sentenced to death and hanged. In his final moment he was hit by lightning. The word 'Dust' echoed in his mind as he was thrown into a state of limbo between life and death. His shadow was split from his body and turned into an entity called Ashes. Dust carries with him a watch that stopped on the exact time of his execution.

Dust & Ashes is going to join the stacked roster of Lethal League Blaze, no charge!



The Shadow Surge Update
The boyos are not yet fully assembled yet, so you'll have to wait for the 'Shadow Surge' update to drop before you can start playing with them. We'll be showing more stuff that we'll add in that update in the coming weeks. This will include the changes and optimizations we made for the console version of the game, which means the game will run better on Steam as well (but we have a good hunch that existing mods will break and need a workaround).



Speaking of consoles, when can they expect the Shadow Surge update? Due to the strict patching guidelines on game consoles it won't be simultaneous. The Nintendo Switch version is still scheduled to get the optimizations patch first after all!
