Greetings Champions!
As we forge our path further into our Open Beta we’re excited to share that V0.18 is shaping up to be perhaps our biggest patch of all time.
You’ll have to wait a little longer to learn more about that behemoth of an update however, as today is all about patch V0.17.3!
With such a big patch on the horizon, this update is admittedly a smidge smaller than we’d have liked. Still, we’re pleased to be sharing a number of highly anticipated skins including an all-new original Shinbi skin, as well as a collection of balance changes.
So without further ado, let’s jump right in!

Skin Variants
As we build up a bigger and more extensive collection of skins for each Hero we’re excited to share that this update brings with it a new feature for skins - variants!
Skin variants are exactly what they sound like - alternative versions of a skin with some subtle changes, such as colour tweaks or light-texture changes.
Not all skins will be getting variants and to start with we’re only releasing them in this update’s bundles just while we get things set up and rolling. But rest assured we’re excited to expand this concept as time goes on.
So how do you know if a bundle contains a fancy new skin variant? Simple look for the rainbow circle in the top right corner of the bundle image! The icon represents that the bundle contains a variant skin, and if you see a number inside the circle that means the bundle contains multiple variant skins!
For the time being any skin variant sold in a bundle is timed exclusive, meaning it won’t be available separately until a later date. So make sure to grab them while you can!
Psst! Already own items contained in a new bundle? Our bundles are priced dynamically, meaning you'll get a discount based on the content you own!
