The Future of Battlerite
We've made an announcement on future development for Battlerite and Battlerite Royale, with Battle Season 3 being having our final Battle Pass for the foreseeable future.
You can read the full announcement here.
General Updates
Battle Season 3 features an extended Battle Pass, with twice as many populated tiers in the Free Pass as previous seasons (up to Tier 59) and 75 tiers of content in the Premium Pass. We've extended the season to 15 weeks, and the preliminary end of Season date is Wednesday, October 23rd. This Season players will only be able to upgrade to the Premium Pass by purchasing it in game for 950 Gems. Players can also purchase the Premium Pass and 15 Tiers for 2,500 Gems.
Along with the new Pass, the five sponsors from last season return. The Stewards of the Arena are again available for all players to progress and will reward a unique Jade pose, outfit, and weapon. The Halls of Triumph sponsor is only available to purchasers of the Premium Pass and rewards a unique Legendary Jamila Outfit and Weapon.
For this season's there's only one season quest per week, each giving out 16 Battle Pass "Stars" - the same amount of as the two weekly season quests used to give out in previous Battle Passes. There's one quest for all of the 15 weeks that Battle Season 3 lasts for.
You can view items available in the Battle Pass over at the Battle Pass Website.
End of Battle Season 2
Battle Season 2 concludes on July 10th. After this point rewards in the Season 2 Battle Pass will no longer be available to earn. If you are still signed with a sponsor from Battle Season 2 you will still be able to complete it. All sponsors from previous seasons will be marked with a star.
The avatar your receive this Season will reflect the highest league you've reached in Battlerite or Battlerite Royale.
Players Season Levels will be reset. Season Level history will be viewable in the player profile.
New Feature - Public Custom Lobby List
We've made some changes to private games, and now players will be able to find and create Public Custom Lobbies. When players create a public custom lobby, their lobby will be displayed in the public lobby list in the "Custom" option in the play menu. Other players will be able to join matches by browsing this list.
When browsing the Custom Lobby list, you will be able to view:
- Players
- Settings
- Maps
- Regions
- Latency to lobby
Players will also be able to view Custom Lobbies currently in a match, though will not be able to join them. The creator of the lobby is the host as well, and when they leave a new host will be assigned according to join order.
Players will still be able to create private lobbies by checking the appropriate setting when creating a lobby.
New Community Outfit - Corrupted Treant Ruh Kaan
The outfit for our second Battlerite Community Concept Art Contest has been completed! Players will now be able to claim Corrupted Treat Ruh Kaan, who's placed in Tier 5 of the Free Battle Pass.
