Free-to-play top-down battle royale Blast Royale has been updated this week to version 0.18, introducing a host of new features and improvements.

Update Details

This major update comes with a range of new features for players to enjoy, including 2 new mini-maps, the start of Beta Season 8, overhauled Blast Pass, and much more.

Blast Pass Overhaul

The start of the 8th season of the beta version of this Web3 title comes with an overhaul of the Blast Pass that is marked by the introduction of a premium line of rewards to progress through next to the free one. For this season’s battle pass, players can unlock Harald, Dusty and Bam Boo in the Premium Pass, while the Free Pass features the character Frosty Bennet that you can unlock by reaching the end of the battle pass.

Next to the premium track, players can now progress through the Blast Pass faster thanks to the developers adding a 20% increase in Blast Points per match, while increasing the daily earning limit to 3000 Blast Points per day.

New Mini Maps, Characters & More

The latest update also comes with the addition of a new weapon: the Assault Rifle, alongside 2 new Mini Maps representing pieces of a larger map that is currently in development. You can try out the new areas in customs and provide feedback to help the developers get the bigger version ready for launch.

A set of new characters are now available with the latest update, marking the “debut of our community's favourite art style.” There are also new animations for characters, including facial animations, as well as new cosmetics to purchase from the store, with the Raven character now exclusively available on the store only. Team-based squad gameplay has been improved with the release of the squad revival feature, allowing players in squads to revive teammates that have been knocked out.
