Hello Brawlers!
We’re just posting to alert you of a small technical patch we’re releasing to support a change we’ll be making to Battlerite’s ranked queue. There will be a short downtime, most likely lasting between 1 and 2 hours.
Recently, some community members came together to send us a researched and carefully considered document presenting some desired changes to the game. Many of those changes are related to balance, which would be dangerous to mess with, so we’re going to hold off on those. However, the most popularly requested change was to introduce a regular seasonal reset to the ranked ladder.
We’ve decided to implement the structure necessary to do that, including generating around 50 years of future seasons. We can’t say we’ll have 50 more years of Battlerite, but now our rolling season system supports it! We’ll be doing rolling, consistent 6-month-long seasons starting in September and March. The reason we’re waiting until September to implement it is that it requires some attention from us on the back end, and we want to be reliably on hand to do it. September and March are ideal months for that, and should continue to be into the far-flung future.
The patch we’re introducing today is just setting the groundwork to allow us to activate the season changes. Doing so will require an hour of downtime, but you’ll be notified when the time comes.
Thanks for playing, Brawlers. While our attention is on our current project, Battlerite and its community will always mean a lot to us.
