Season’s Feast
New Event!
This event is full of gifts to celebrate the Season! We have many challenges and rewards to customize your profile to match the season of giving. As well as a brand-new game mode filled with gifts to get you those victories! Keep your eyes on the battlefield and see how many gifts you can find. Login between November 19th at 10:00am PT (1:00pm ET / 18:00 UTC) and February 5th to share in the season’s festivities!
New Event Game Mode: Season’s Feast
It’s the season of giving! So, we’re giving you a new game mode filled with gifts, only trouble is we left them on the battlefield. Search the map and see if you can find them and the great rewards within. Fight against your opponents in a standard match style with gifted bonuses to give you that competitive edge. Gifts can contain resources, units and even buffs so make sure you find them first. We aren’t sure how we managed to get a Trebuchet into those gift boxes, but we do hope you put them to good use!Ranked Season Updates
Season Nine kicked off on October 22nd at 10:00am PT (18:00 UTC) and is currently set to run through March 31st. While we don’t have a map pool update in this patch, we are planning to switch up the map pool early next year.
