Asphalt Legends Unite – Patch Notes

Asphalt Legends Unite is launching on Wednesday, July 17th. We’re finally unveiling to the world everything we’ve been working on for the past years, and the team couldn’t be more excited.

Here’s all the new features, all the new game modes, all the new cars, and all the new seasons headed your way for the release of Asphalt Legends Unite.

Cross-Platform

Cross-play and cross-save will be activated at last. Take on the world as you’ll be able to play against any friend or foe that crosses your path. With cross-play, all our racers will manage to race against anyone, no matter their platform, making for a faster and more competitive multiplayer experience.

You’ll also be able to switch devices yourself, as cross-save will be active across select platforms, allowing you to quickly jump from one platform to another seamlessly.

New Friends List and Private Lobbies

Keeping track and playing with your friends has never been easier! Add your regular co-pilots to your friends list and invite them to a private race with our new Private Lobbies,

You’ll be able to invite up to 7 other friends, choose your track, and race any car you own to prove once and for all who the best racer is. No fuel or tickets required.

New Track – Singapore

We have an all-new track for you to explore, inspired by the beautiful city of Singapore.

You’ll be able to drive through its vibrant nightlife, as you race amongst city lights, swerve through an amusement park , and speed down water slides to reach the finish line.

New Co-op Game Mode – Team Pursuit

In Asphalt Legends Unite, we’re giving you the first-ever opportunity to team up with other racers to achieve victory.

Get thrown into this epic chase, by taking part as either the Syndicate Team or the Security Team.

The Syndicate drivers will be faced with using their guile and teamwork to escape the chasing security forces. You’ll have to put your skills on display to avoid getting taken down and reaching the finish line.

On the other hand, the Security drivers will be going all in to take down the escaping Security drivers. They’ll have to coordinate their movements to set the perfect trap and not allow the syndicate drivers to escape.

Get ready for some exciting chases and unhinged mayhem!

Improved Game – Engine

Thanks to a Gameloft team effort, we’ve spent some time under the hood to give our game a big upgrade.

With the inclusion of Dynamic Light effects and improved light reflections, Asphalt Legends Unite delivers a new layer of realism.

The new Singapore track will be a wonderful place to showcase all the improvements, as the dazzling night lights reflect against the hood of your car or your new car’s headlights shine ahead of you, Asphalt has never looked better.

The Beginning of a New Multiplayer

With the launch of unite we'll also be expanding our multiplayer system, with the main objective of providing a better experience and welcome the new cross-platform era. We'll be introducing 2 new permanent events, World League and Season Series, offering both a revamped competitive mode and a new more casual experience.

We plan to continue improving multiplayer on future updates, all while paying close attention to community feedback to keep improving the MP experience!

Other changes:

New Multiplayer Changes

The launch of Unite along with cross-play functionality has brought a renewed focus on multiplayer. From now on, we want our Multiplayer mode to feel more dynamic and varied, as we include regular updates to ensure it feels fresh and exciting.

Of course, we’ll be paying close attention to player feedback to make sure our changes are hitting the right notes.

On release, we’ll be introducing 2 new permanent Multiplayer Modes: World League, and Season Series.

World League

Our core competitive mode. More veteran players will recognize this as our expansion on our classic World Series. With all our players uniting under one roof, and having more players competing together, we knew we needed to expand our current multiplayer and breathe some new life into it, as our players have been requesting for some time.

The main changes coming to our competitive mode are:

• Car Filters: Not all cars will be available to compete, and we’ll be changing our car rosters from event to event to keep them fresh. We also won’t be grouping cars solely based on car class, but more based on their car rank. This will allow for more balanced and interesting car selections
• Sub-tiers: As we get ready for all our players to finally compete together, each tier will be broken into Sub-tiers, allowing for a larger number of players to compete and still provide meaningful progression.
• New format Structure: The World League will offer the competitive experience year-round over a total of 6 Splits in the following structure:
• Rounds: Competitive events lasting 2 weeks. Once complete you'll be able to claim your rewards for the Round and all players will be slightly demoted before the next round starts.
• Split: A grouping made of 4 Rounds. Will aslo grant greater rewards upon completion and players will also be dropped in ranks before the next split starts.

Once a new round starts, players will start their competitive climb, gaining ranks as usual based on your performance.

Once the round ends, you'll be able to claim the final Round rewards. Player's total rank will also be slightly reduced before the next Round begins. Don't worry, you'll only lose a few sub tiers and won't be demoted entire Tiers at a time.

Once a Split ends, you'll be able to claim the final Split reards, based on your perfomance over the past 4 Rounds. After a split players will also suffer a demotion.

The end goal of course is to see how high you can climb within the competitive year! At the start of a new competitive year all competitive progress will be reset, and you'll be back to defend your claim for another year.

You can also expect to see a few changes in rules, settings and car rotations each round, but we'll share more info on that once we're closer to the events themselves, so keep your eyes peeled.

These changes will allow for a more finely grained level of competition, given our increase in players, and provide a longer progression system for all.

The inclusion of Sub-Tiers will also allow for more accurate matchmaking, along with allowing us to reward players each step of the way as they unlock unique rewards and additions to the car filter. It might be a longer goal to aim for, but we’ll make it worth it every step of the way.

Furthermore, changing our philosophy on car filters will let us break the barriers of class filters and allow for some unique matchups yet to be seen in a competitive environment.

We hope this will also allow for a more new-player friendly introduction to the competitive series, while allowing more balanced and epic matchups in our higher Tiers.

Season Series

A new multiplayer series that allows for a more casual experience!

Here we want to offer a more relaxed and open experience, free from restrictions and car filters and allowing you to face the rest of the Asphalt Community with anything you have in your garage.

Of course, we will still be matchmaking you against cars with a similar rank, but you’ll be free to practice on whichever car you own and get some action on your favorite rides.

These events will last a week, and offer rewards based on your series score.

New Showroom Events

These new events are headed your way:

• Renault R.S.01
• Vanda Electrics Dendrobium
• Dodge Viper ACR
• Coming in Season 2: Nio EP9

Speeders

We're also seeing a new event feature releasing with Asphalt Legends Unite: Speeders!

On select events, keep an eye out for speeder pads: colorful pads placed on the track that will immediately give you a boost if you race over them. Take full advantage if you want to take 1st place, but careful not to crash!

Balancing Changes

The team will be undertaking a new balancing project that will span several updates. Throughout this and future updates, we'll be tweaking the stats and perfomance of a few cars, both applying buffs and nerfs to a few outstanding car's whose performance does not seem to represent the car's garage rating.

We will make sure to keep you updated via our regular patch notes of any changes coming each update.

For this update the team will be adjusting 2 cars:

• Devel Sixteen: Fixed several physics bugs that were affecting car perfomance.
  Dev notes: As reported by our community, given the this car's singular shape and acceleration, the car could behave in an undesired way in certain circumstances. With these fixes, the car should be able to behave more predictively and make it more intuitive to drive. It should help set more consistent times in your races, with the car behaving more as it was intended.
• Hennessey Venom F5: The Nitro stat has been slightly lowered to 24.07 stock and 46.00 at Max.
  Dev notes: This is a small nerf to bring it more in line with it's ranking in game. We felt the Nitro was a bit too high far a car with that top speed, and this should bring its performance more in line with expectations.

Nintendo Switch Bank

As Nintendo will also be switching over to the global version of Asphalt Legends Unite, their Bank feature will also be adapted to the new global standard. For this reason, Bank progress will need to be reset on Nintendo Switch, and the team will be sending the appropriate compensation to any affected accounts.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Device Support Changes:

Due to the increased performance requirements of the new ingame engine, we will be dropping support all the devices that have no Vulkan API support. If you require the full list of such devices, please contact Customer Care.

We will also no longer support android devices with the GPU T830MP2. Full list is as follows:

• Huawei P20 Lite
• Huawei Honor 9 Lite
• Huawei Honor 7x
• Huawei P smart
• Docomo d-02K
• Huawei Honor 9N
