Summary
Highlights
This video is not a traditional roadmap but discusses upcoming plans for Brawl Stars. A disclaimer is given that all information presented is subject to change.
The current cosmetic system has issues, including an overabundance of items making them less exciting and devaluing 'bling' currency. The team aims to make skins more rewarding and 'bling' more valuable, addressing confusing rarities and limitations of items like pins.
The 2025 ranked rework made it more approachable for casual players, but competitive players felt overlooked. The team is questioning their approach and considering improving "quality of life" for ranked play, involving the community in decisions regarding features like map pools and solo/team queues.
Events are crucial for player re-engagement and will continue, including IP collaborations and smaller, skin-focused collaborations. The team now has dedicated teams for both permanent game improvements and temporary events, aiming for more frequent, polished updates.
The goal is to deliver great events monthly and exciting new features, while ensuring high quality. Updates will be more frequent, possibly monthly by the second half of the year, but major feature releases might be less frequent to ensure polish.
The success of the "Battle for Kartana Kingdom" event highlights the desire to tell continuous stories over multiple months. The team also wants to explore more game modes and increase community involvement through podcasts, social media, content creators, and Supercell Make campaigns.
The video reiterates that plans can change, but the core goals remain: creating a fun, engaging game and growing Brawl Stars. The team emphasizes a commitment to adapting and improving based on player experience.
The recent update featuring prestige and changes to the trophy system has been successful, with increased playtime and player engagement. The team will continue to monitor and improve it.
