We're blasting off again!

[Patch Notes](/content/news/patch-notes/index.html) 7 lug 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**!

### Improved Chat Moderation

We’re pleased to reveal that as of V0.9 we’re getting with the times and deploying the latest in AI technology to help shore up our in-game message defences.

We don’t normally hand the mic over to other teams in the fortnightly patch notes, but considering we wouldn’t have a mic if it wasn’t for the Sound Team we thought we’d make an exception!
