Battlerite celebrates Christmas in its own way: with carnage, a new hero, and special winter-themed skins. Additionally, more balance adjustments are coming for fair gameplay.
Battlerite is an arena brawler that focuses on direct action, unlike a full-fledged MOBA like LoL or Heroes of the Storm. Two versus Two or Three versus Three heroes face off in an arena, and hardly any match lasts longer than a few minutes.
Battlerite has already received three new heroes with the nasty goblin Ezmo, the creepy creature Ruh Kaan, and hunter Jumong. The fourth new champion is coming soon, and although we currently don’t know much about him/her/it, we suspect that the new character has something to do with snow and ice.
Frosty Christmas
Starting December 14, the new update for Battlerite will go live, and alongside the unknown new champion, you will get a ton of new skins for your weapons. The heroes themselves can look forward to legendary skins. The theme will be ice and snow. However, there won’t be classic Christmas motifs like candy canes and Santa Claus costumes. Additionally, the developers at Stunlock Studios are planning adjustments to gameplay, matchmaking, and balance. There should also be a new ranking system. We hope to learn more on December 14.
Even though not much concrete information about the Christmas update in Battlerite is known so far, the announcements sound promising. Especially the announced changes to the ranking and balance could potentially improve the rather strange matchmaking of the arena brawler.
