The new Battlerite patch is now live, bringing with it Ulric, The Unwavering Light. Not only that, there's also a new game mode as well as the Spring Chicken Bundle (that's new mounts and daft costumes). Full notes below.
Patch 1.5.0 is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, March 28th. Patching is scheduled to begin at 9:00 CEST and downtime is expected to last 3 hours.
Duel is out and Bakko’s Egg Brawl is in! Magical eggs are hidden within the Arena; find them (as Bakko) with your team (of other Bakkos) and throw them at your enemy (of other Bakkos)! A variety of eggs and custom Battlerites are here for you to discover and try out in this wacky, chaotic game mode. The old system of Battlerites (choosing one per round) has returned for this mode.
Win 15 Rounds of Bakko’s Egg Brawl and receive the Golden Rooster Chest, containing the Golden Rooster and 2 random Rare items. You have until April 11th to claim your prize!
Spring has got Bakko clucking! For a limited time the Spring Chicken Bundle is purchasable for 750 Gems. This bundle contains the Epic Chicken Outfit for Bakko in 5 color variations and 3 Epic Rooster Mounts and is purchasable until April 11th.
