Hello Gigantic fans!
We’ve just deployed our major patch for July that we had promised you in our last Dev Update. This patch fixes match grades, makes improvements to Easy Anti Cheat, and includes a ton of additional fixes and balancing changes. As always, you can read the full patch notes further below!
Reminder that Season One begins on July 23 across all platforms. We’re very excited for Ranked to officially kick-off and have in-game reward events planned for you to have the chance to get brand-new content that wasn’t in the original Gigantic, like new hero skins and weapon skins for some of your favorite heroes.
