We’re BACK! And we have a bunch of content added to the game for you. In the Glow Up update, we’ve included several new skins, avatars, a new arena - along with new attachments and weapon balancing - and the launch of the Blaston Championship!

New Legendary Skin: Lyxx Lyxx has always been the face of Blaston, and today we’re switching it up by giving her a new look with a legendary demonic skin. With a more aggressive look, we see this as an alter ego to the main character that you know and love!

New Avatars

Clamos & Argentia

A little over a year ago we launched the singleplayer campaign for the game, and we know you want to be able to become the characters that you face. So we polished the models and made them available to be played. Get them in the store now.

New Arena

Greatstone Valley

Similarly to the campaign characters, a lot of people expressed how they missed playing Quick Draw when it fell out of the seasonal mode. Well, now you’ll at least be able to go halfway there with a classic version of Greatstone Valley.

New Attachments

Ellipse Weapons, Vector, Nova Helix, Nova Hurricane, & Lance Nade

Last update, we brought a new element into the meta with several attachments including bouncing projectiles. This time we’re shifting our focus to the original ellipse weapons, along with weapons we felt like needed some love with the Vector, Nova Helix, Nova Hurricane & Lance Nade. You can now track and complete the attachment missions for these to find new ways to play with them!

New Tournament Circuit

Blaston Championship 2022

Alongside the Glow Up update, we’re launching our first ever competitive circuit for Blaston! If you’ve ever wanted to try competition in the game, now’s your chance. The circuit is divided into 3 phases, with the first starting this August. Players can join by playing the ranked mode, joining the weekly Blastzone Challenges, or participating in community tournaments to fight for their lion share of a total of $11,000 prize pool!

Blaston Championship Cosmetics

Banners & Universal Weapon Skin

With the launch of the Blaston Championship, we’re adding a few more cosmetics to the game so that you can fully get into the competitive spirit. You’ll now see the Blaston Championship logo in the arenas, and you can also represent your region with the European or North American banners available in the store. Exclusive finalist and winner banners will also be given out to the participants who qualify and win the regional finals. Oh, and we’ve also added Universal Weapon Skin that you can get in the store as well!
