Today we’ve updated the game with a small improvement to the current ranking and matchmaking system. Players during placement games are now less likely to be matched with high-graded players.

In late October we’re planning a content update that will include:
  • 2 New Champions
  • Night variation of Blackstone Arena
  • Balance updates & improvements to existing Champions
  • Additional Legendary Weapons & new cosmetics
  • Various improvements to other parts of the game
On the Horizon
Revamped Ranking System
A solid Ranking System is a top-priority for us due to the competitive nature of Battlerite. We are working on a new system that will include improvements and additional options!

Extended Champion Progression
More levels, more rewards and more options for you to stand out from the crowd with your favorite Champion!

Champion Updates
We will put a ton of work into creating new Champions and also into balancing and tuning the existing ones. Expect abilities to change and battlerites to be updated in our quest to perfect every single Champion!

Here are the latest patch notes:

New Map - Blackstone Arena

Blackstone Arena is located in Othagur and controlled by the ancient blood cult, “Brotherhood of the Night”. This battleground was once used for sacrificial rituals, forming the source of power for the priests of the old Empire. It is now considered one of the most respected proving grounds.

New Champion - Rook

A mighty chieftain who rushes into battle with a giant hammer in one hand and his dinner in the other. Rook likes to smash his enemies with boulders, hammers and even his body. Once he goes berserk he turns into an unstoppable force.

  • Freya
    • Overcharge (Battlerite)
      • Now activates on trigger instead of on use.
      • Range has been slightly increased.
  • Jade
    • Evasion (Battlerite)
      • Can now be dispelled.
  • Lucie
    • Clarity Potion
      • Can no longer knock enemies back that are immaterial unless the immaterial effect is caused by a buff that can be dispelled

General
  • All alpha participants have received the Alpha-Tester Avatar and the “Alpha Tester” title
  • All beta participants have received the Beta-Tester Avatar and the “Beta Tester” title
  • Disconnect pause-timer reduced to 15s from 60s.
  • All players now automatically follow our Stunlock account in the Odeum. We will use this account to feature the best community plays!
  • Players can now report other players that are verbally abusive, that are refusing to participate in the game or that intentionally leaves a game.
  • The forfeit option will no longer be delayed until the next round starts.
  • Forfeiting a game will now put players back in the matchmaking queue if the game was forfeited before a round started.

Bug fixes
  • Fixed a bug causing Bulwark and Time Bender to not properly get interrupted by crowd control effects such as Stun, Incapacitate, Panic, etc
  • Fixed an issue causing champions to become immaterial for a few frames after landing when leaping/teleporting
  • Champion Progression Avatars now unlock properly and all players have received their missing Avatars
  • Fixed a bug in private game that triggered a timeout screen after the match
  • Fixed an issue that caused players with high latency to warp around the map
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused players to not being able to connect to a game
  • Fixed an issue that caused long replays in the Odeum to buffer for infinity when in fullscreen-mode

Miscellaneous
  • Voice-sound will now always play when an ultimate ability is triggered
  • Added in-game message for when a player has left the game (and can not reconnect).
  • Players must now activate the ingame-chat by typing /enablechat
  • A number of cosmetic items have been improved
  • Odeum button now highlights if a new replay has been posted
  • Added an in-game message that is displayed when a player has manually left a game (not disconnect)

See you in the Arena!

Благодаря вашим отзывам, мы решили пересмотреть содержимое набора Раннего Доступа.

РД теперь предоставляет вам доступ ко всем чемпионам в игре, навсегда! Да-да, даже когда Battlerite будет запущена в режиме F2P, вам будет доступен любой чемпион, который взойдет на арену!

После полноценного запуска игры, это предложение будет уже не доступно. Соотношение цены с тем количеством контента, который вы получите взамен, поразительно выгодное.

Ранний Доступ стартует завтра, 20го Сентября в 19:00 по МСК.
Вы с нетерпением ждем встречи с вами на арене!
