We're blasting off again!

##### Summary

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**!
