With the big launch comes an even bigger update, which we’ve been cooking the last 6 months!
5 new playable characters:
- Yooka-Laylee
- Sting’ra
- Funkmaster
- Ripjack
- Gancho Puncho (Paco’s cousin)
New stage:
- Tribalstacks Tropics
Major reworks on the unlocks system: no more gems!
- All stages are unlocked from the start
- You gain XP much faster
- Character Variants get unlocked super early, by leveling up the base characters to level 3-5 (It usually takes one arcade tower to reach that level. For example, if you level up Sephi’ra: at level 3 you unlock Natu’ra, at 4 Nightma’ra and at level 5 you unlock Sting’ra)
Plus tons of other changes and tweaks:
- Spike canceling (you can press Jump or do a recovery while in hitstun to avoid being spiked and fall below the stage)
- Character balancing across the board
- Performance improvements
- Faster loading times
- Random stage select
- Ledge hogging (for Yooka-Laylee now, coming soon to the rest of the cast)
It goes without saying that we're tremendously excited to unleash our baby upon the world after four years of hard work, but for us the full Steam launch is just the beginning. Keeping players entertained is our number one priority, and we'll be working tirelessly to bring you even more modes, characters, and tournaments as Brawlout continues to evolve in the future.
