Development Update Stream May 2025

Development Update Stream May 2025

It’s been a little over a week since our Development Update Stream. We wanted to circle back and briefly recap the topics to make sure all Brawlers know what’s going on in Brawlhalla. So before we get into tl;dr territory ➡️ (Full VOD embedded at bottom of post)

Guilds was announced at BCX 2024 along with Chakram and many other amazing things. This cross-platform successor to Clans is shaping up well. During the Development Update Stream we revealed some WIP images of how guilds may look in Brawlhalla, while Foda enlightened us on how Guilds will work. While there’s still a lot of work to be done, we’re confident Guilds will release before the end of 2025. 

As you’ve likely noticed, we recently updated the Heavy Attack Charge VFX for the Unarmed kit with gorgeous new art. This is the first wave of efforts to modernize effects like what we’ve done in the past with Gnash, Xull, Cassidy, Orion etc. This will be an intentionally slow process to ensure we aren’t making any game breaking visual changes.

Unranked 1v1, a new FFA scoring system, bigger changes in Experimental tested over shorter periods of time, and dynamic modes added to the queues all thanks to invisible behind-the-scenes work/tech. Some of you may have hopped into the recent Sports Queue, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Things are shaking up in Brawlhalla!

A new hub for Brawlhalla Events that focuses on giving back to the Brawlhalla community with Missions that reward in-game rewards. The first implementation of Event Center arrived with Brawlhalla Fest 2025! So far your feedback has been very positive and constructive, which we’re so happy to see. Look forward to Event Center continuing to enhance your Brawlhalla experience in the future.

It wouldn’t be much of a 2025 without a Brawlhalla Championship Expo. Check out the trailer where we revealed the dates, location, discounted hotel rate, and prize pool of BCX 2025. This is our 10th ever BCX so you know we’ll be going ALL OUT.

Applications for the Brawlhalla Partner Program will be open for all starting in early June. The Brawlhalla Partner Program is a way for us to recognize and support Brawlhalla content creators that stand out from the rest. We see y’all!

The Ubisoft Creator Program (UCP) is a fantastic way for Brawlhalla content creators to get new cosmetics as they release to create content, and will be a prerequisite for the Partner Program, so sign-up now: https://creatorsprogram.ubisoft.com/en-us

We want to help you bring Brawlhalla to your school! A landing page is being developed with step-by-step instructions on how high schools and middle schools can integrate Brawlhalla into their before/after school and esports programs. Kick off the 2025-26 school year with the Back to School Event and Brawlhalla at School!
