General Updates
Black Market Event Update
The time has come. The most requested plane in Metalstorm, the JAS39 Gripen is set to take off when the Black Market begins December 24th, 2025 at 12:00 PM PST. This brand new LIGHT FIGHTER will be available for the duration of the Black Market event at Hangar Level 10!
Stay tuned for a deeper dive into the JAS39 Gripen in a plane debrief set to go out later this week.
PVP Season Update
Due to release timing of the JAS39 Gripen, we are going to be ending the current PVP Season a bit early (12/23). This is to give the Gripen’s initial season a full duration to compete on the leaderboard. Happy hunting!
