We're blasting off again!

Patch Notes 7. Juli 2023

Summary

Patch releasing 12.00 GMT July 11th, 2023.

It’s time to load up, Champions!

The V0.9 Game Update is just around the corner, bringing with it our most Dashing new Hero yet, alongside some substantial improvements to our in-game chat moderation systems, as well as equally substantial changes to our in-game audio mixing!

The other big thing to talk about in V0.9 is arguably one of our biggest pushes to address in-game toxicity to date.

And lastly of course there’s our gun-toting new action Hero, TwinBlast!
