Blue Mammoth Games has released Brawlhalla update 8.15, which adds the latest playable character, King Zuva. In addition to this new Legend, this Brawlhalla update also includes improvements to the user interface and new cosmetic items available in Mallhalla, along with several bug fixes and gameplay adjustments.
Developed by Blue Mammoth Games, Brawlhalla is a free-to-play fighting game featuring over 50 characters known as "Legends," with each boasting their own special weapons and abilities. Players can take part in various game modes, including ranked 1v1 and 2v2 matches, or join chaotic free-for-alls with up to eight players. Its simple controls and regular updates have kept it popular since it launched in 2017, with seasonal events and esports tournaments continuing to maintain an interesting competitive scene.
The standout feature of the October 2024 update is King Zuva, the newest character added to the Brawlhalla Legends roster. Nicknamed "The Stampede," Zuva is a powerful warrior with high strength and defense. Players can also personalize King Zuva with a variety of new skins, each with a unique style: The Golden Gladiator Zuva, Ancestral Zuva, and Elegant Zuva. This update also kicks off the first phase of a major overhaul of Brawlhalla's user interface. Drawing inspiration from the game’s recently redesigned logo, the new UI includes updated splash art for Legend selection, a redesigned player menu, new fonts, and an overall cleaner appearance.
Along with the addition of King Zuva, the Mallhalla store has been updated with new cosmetic items. Players can now pick up the RGB Weapon Set, which adds a colorful design to all 14 weapon types, or grab the Primrose Mallet, a hammer skin to use while playing with Brawlhalla’s Legends. There are also new doodle-style avatars available, such as the Imoodle for Imugi and the King Zoodle for Zuva. Moreover, the game is preparing for its yearly Brawlhalloween event, which kicks off on October 23. This seasonal celebration will introduce exclusive items for 2024, including the Calavera Catrina Seven skin, the Ofrenda 2024 podium, and new emojis.
Like previous Brawlhalla updates, patch 8.15 addresses various gameplay issues and bug fixes. For example, the "Mayhem" map pool has been removed from certain game modes, and issues with the Hammer weapon's animations have been corrected. Additionally, players using the PS5 DualSense Edge controller can now enjoy full compatibility with Brawlhalla on Steam, Ubisoft Connect, and Epic Games.
Some key bug fixes also include solving a problem in which Vivi's Neutral Blasters would drop targets too early and a UI glitch causing Master Chief's hands to disappear when using certain skins. Patch 8.15 is now live, and players can dive in to explore all the new features.
Brawlhalla Update 8.15 Patch Notes
New Legend: King Zuva
- King Zuva – “The Stampede”
- Weapons: Hammer, Battle Boots
- Stats: 8 Strength, 6 Defense, 4 Dexterity, 4 Speed
- “As Zuva grew from a prince to king, so too did his ambitions and appetite for greatness. One by one, the surrounding kingdoms bent the knee to his might, but Zuva was just in his victories and carried each kingdom on his back to the bountiful river so they could all thrive under one banner. When earthquakes and foes struck out against his empire, his hammer struck back. Now, the only time the ground shakes is when Zuva goes for his early morning jog.”
