Get ready for Ix! We'll be hosting a Beta for Ix the Interloper, the winner from the Design-Your-Naut contest, starting next Wednesday!

This is an early beta to get the new character into the hands of players and feedback on the mechanics. Please note that Ix the Interloper will NOT release in the next update, but is instead slated for release in Awesomenauts 3.3. Additional Beta rounds will likely follow closer to the release of Ix. The next update will contain the matchmaking overhaul, and we'll be sharing more information on the Beta for that soon.

Ix is one of the most complex characters we've ever done, so we want to make sure the community gets sufficient time to play around with him, and share their thoughts so we can tweak him further. This Beta is therefore a preview of content releasing a couple of months from now.

Before we launch the Beta on Wednesday, we'll be giving you an in-depth look at his abilities and upgrades in our Streamisho. Tune in to Twitch.tv/RonimoGames at 19:00 CEST, 18:00BST, 1PM ET, 11AM PT on Wednesday May 18th! Click here for a countdown to the show!

After much deliberation we have decided to start again with regularly resetting the leaderboard scores of all players. While we figure out a more permanent and satisfying solution for the lack of long-term player progression, we feel that the added value of giving players something to work towards currently outweighs the cost of finding your place on the leaderboards after each reset.

The first of these resets will happen on May 16th. Subsequent season resets will not have any predetermined dates for now to ensure that important patches such as the matchmaking server launch don't coincide with them. We will make sure to communicate these dates well in advance on Facebook, Twitter, Steam announcements, Global chat and in the Carousel to ensure nobody will encounter any nasty surprises.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to post them on the official forums or on the steam forums.
