Hey everyone,

I am happy to announce that the next round of Broomstick League playtesting is happening this weekend! We will open the game servers on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8 from 10AM to 7PM PST (UTC-8) each day.

There’s a ton of new stuff in this build, so I’ll go over the key changes below.

We wanted to add a new gameplay element and a lot of you gave us the same feedback - add the ability to deke out your opponents. In Broomstick League, we call this move the dash! The dash adds a whole new dimension to gameplay, allowing you to dodge around enemies, gain speed faster, or even retreat into defensive position. Check it out:



We have completely and totally revamped every single piece of UI in the game, from the main menu, to your inventory, to the in-game HUD. Everything has gotten an update and a refresh. Please keep in mind, this is not 100% complete and we still consider a work-in-progress. We’d love to hear your feedback on the new designs. Check out the before and after comparison:




We have been hard at work improving the matchmaking system. Last test round, servers were not properly backfilling, which resulted in players being placed into empty servers, instead of looking for existing matches in progress that had a spot or two available. This issue is now fixed and matchmaking should provide a better experience. We will closely monitor the status of the matchmaking throughout this playtest and continue to make improvements wherever we can.

For those of you brand new to the game, make sure to check out our newly added tutorials! The tutorial is a set of simple exercises designed to teach you the core moves in the game.

We also have a functioning practice mode for you to fly around an empty arena with no time restrictions. Practice your moves solo or add some AI bots into the arena with you to liven it up.

We’ve also put together a guide that covers some of the basics and tips on how to improve your game.

There have been a ton of additional elements that have been implemented; such as another sound effects pass, a VFX pass and better gameplay telegraphing. We have made a lot of small gameplay tweaks to improve the overall play experience. Also, we’ve made some improvements to the AI. The AI is still in a very early state and we’ll be looking to improve the bots as we get closer to a release.

Keys will be distributed throughout the day, so you can preload the game on Steam. If you did not get an invite into this round of playtesting, fear not! We have more rounds of playtesting planned, and will invite larger waves of players into each round.

YES! Streaming the game is now allowed. We encourage you to stream your gameplay and share your experience with others.

That’s all for now folks. Once again, thanks for taking part and I hope you enjoy the game!

In Broomstick League, players will get to compete in a wide variety of imaginative arenas. Today, we are continuing our arena showcase with the Flying, Dungeon and Snow Arenas.

The Flying Arena takes the “road game” to a whole new level! Broomstick League takes to the skies on the backs of massive beasts, allowing teams to get some practice in while traveling to their next game. Fly through the clouds and play to the beating of massive wings in one of Broomstick League’s most fantastical locales. An impressive enough goal might even distract your ride!





Broomstick League has been a staple throughout the history of the world. In a bygone age, a similar game was played in celebration of conquest and triumph. Amidst the snowy reaches of the North, a mighty stadium was erected in celebration of the defeat of a mighty beast! Seek glory as your ancestors once did in the Snow Arena, a relic of the past overflowing with majesty and runic magic! Although, you can’t help but wonder what mysteries may lie beneath the enchanted ice...





In search of mystical materials for better wands and brooms; some bright young Broomstick League prospects find themselves in dangerous territory. Some are unlucky enough to find themselves captured and playing for the entertainment of Giant Ogres! Play your heart out in a caged arena within the surprisingly cozy confines of an Ogre’s home. It could mean the difference between life and death!

In Broomstick League, players will get to compete in a wide variety of imaginative arenas. Today, we are showcasing the first two arenas in the game; the Kingdom Arena and Sand Arena.

Freshly manicured grass and titanic torches make for a magical stadium that sets the standard of the Broomstick League.

Taking place in the mystical capital, the Kingdom Arena has been the site of Broomstick League’s biggest championships for centuries. Crowds roar, knights cheer and the majesty of the Broomstick League can be seen in the golden decor that accents the arena.

Victory in the Kingdom Arena means fame and fortune! Defeat means ridicule and shame. Which will you achieve?





A hidden temple among the southern sands was home to an ancient game!

Broomstick League was not always the game we know it as now. Perhaps it was a ritual to appease the almighty Frog Gods, or a game to entertain ancient royalty? Many mysteries surround the origin of Broomstick League but perhaps the secrets lie in the sand and ancient symbols of the Sand Arena!

TwitchCon 2019
After the amazing reception of our announcement trailer, we wanted to bring Broomstick League directly to the players. What better place for a first look than TwitchCon?

This was our first time at the event and we couldn't have asked for a better reception; the sounds of mana blasts and wooshing brooms drew bigger crowds than we ever could have hoped for. The air was electric with competitive spirit and fun. Veteran Citadel wizards and newcomers alike took to Broomstick League like a warlock to a wand and we were so happy to see a game we love bring so much joy to others.



Closed Beta
The interest in our upcoming closed beta has been incredible and the entire team is charged up to take the feedback we received from the show-floor and make Broomstick League better than ever! We're expecting some high intensity rematches with our fans in the best version of the game yet when our first closed-beta tests begin in the coming weeks.

We are incredibly excited to announce our latest game; Broomstick League, launching on Steam Early Access in early January 2020!

Growing up, many of us here had dreams about soaring through the air. Imagine being high up in the sky, pointing towards the ground and dive bombing down as you pick up incredible speed. Now, imagine doing that in a sports game - deking out your opponent as you head towards their net to score a spectacular goal. This is what Broomstick League is all about.

Long Term Goals
Our goal with Broomstick League is to craft a fast paced, fun, competitive multiplayer sports game. With the game we have today, we believe we have achieved that goal. Broomstick League represents the most pure fun content we have produced yet. With that said, we know that everything can be made better and we’d like to do this alongside you, the community.
