Battlerite: Patch 1.8 Arrives

Although it's not a huge patch, 1.8 does bring with it 6 new maps (3 if you factor in they each have day and night modes) as well as some slick new animations thanks to the addition of Battlerite Royale. Full notes can be found here or below.

Patch 1.8 will go live on Thursday, September 20th at 7:00 UTC. Downtime is scheduled to be up to 4 hours.

The following mounts have had their rarity adjusted:
