'Brawlhalla' Reveals Upcoming Star Wars Event Wave II, A Graphic Novel And More

by Rainier on Nov. 18, 2024 @ 9:18 a.m. PST

Brawlhalla is an epic free-to-play platform fighting game that brings players to the fight for glory in the halls of Valhalla.

Vikings, pirates, aliens, and more battle in a tourney of champions for bragging rights, mead, and the joy of delivering a beatdown. Players can play classic four player local matches, fight online, or create a custom lobby to challenge friends.

Odin, King of the Gods, built a heaven for warriors and called it Valhalla. On his command, Valkyries, beautiful goddesses of war, scoured the universe for the greatest warriors to fill this hall. To Odin’s surprise, the Valkyries brought back not only vikings, but legendary warriors of every description, and soon pirates, cowboys, Mongol warriors, Amazons, even monsters and aliens roamed the hall.

While waiting for Ragnarok, the warriors become bored. Constant battle spilled out of the Great Hall, and Asgard was smashed to rubble again and again. Odin, pulling his hair out in a last moment of desperation, set up the grand tournament. Now, the best warriors from every time and place fight to become champion, while the Valkyries constantly venture far and wide to bring back warriors who will earn them honor in Brawlhalla.

Brawlhalla's BCX 2024 drew to a close this weekend, wrapping up three days of World Championship competition, community expo, and exciting announcements about what's to come for the free-to-play fighting game.

In case you missed it, here's everything revealed at BCX 2024.

Brawlhalla Star Wars Event Wave 2

On December 4, Star Wars characters Han Solo, Chewbacca, Kay Vess and Nix, and the Mandalorian with Grogu will join Brawlhalla! With them come a new Map and other Items to be revealed at a later date. This Event also brings a new Companion feature for Grogu, who will follow the Mandalorian around in battle. He can't attack or be attacked, though he will react to the brawl by emoting and other actions.

New Game Features

Expect to see the new Chakram weapon in 2025, which mode swaps with down-light attacks between a one-handed weapon and a faster dual-wielded weapon.

Clans have been a staple of Brawlhalla since its inception in 2015, and in 2025, they will evolve into Guilds. Guilds are designed to redefine how the community connects and competes, and will offer enhanced features like Guild Leaderboards, Missions, Battles, and more. Unlike Clans, Guilds will also be available on consoles, giving even more Brawlers access to the social feature.

Challenges are also getting a major update 2025, bringing new tutorials and ramped-up challenges, like the Lava Challenge and Dodge Read Challenge, designed to improve player skill. Lin Fei will also be there to help and react to how players perform, making it a fun feature for all Brawlers.

Merchandise

A freelance angel of death and the finest reaper of the Underworld, Nix does something she never has before: misses her mark. In order to keep her job, and more importantly her soul, Nix begrudgingly teams up with an unlikely partner to try to win Odin's tournament of heroes. On her journey, she'll discover strange enemies, stranger friends, and tougher fights than she ever imagined. Pre-order Brawlhalla Tales: Nix, the first Brawlhalla graphic novel, today!

Brawlhalla has also partnered with Symbiote to create the first-ever official plushies for the game. Legends Orion, Nix, Yumiko, and Mordex will be the first ones available, and each plushie comes with a unique in-game code for an exclusive Sidekick. Pre-order yours today to be among the first to get your plushie when they arrive in April 2025.

BCX merch is also available for those who want to commemorate BCX 2024. An exclusive shirt and hoodie design, updated pins, a new poster, keychains, new sweatpants, a sticker sheet, a water bottle, and returning favorite items are all available now.

Brawlhalla's straightforward controls make the game easy for new players to pick up, while still having the depth to support a thriving competitive community. With more than 30 distinct warriors to choose from, each with two playstyle-altering weapon types, every victory is a spectacle worthy of the gods.

A variety of online and offline modes offer something for every Legend looking to prove their might in Asgard. Ranked queues, local 1v1 and 2v2, a four-player online free-for-all and online or local free-for-all allow up to eight warriors to take the field at once. Alternate game modes Brawlball, Snowbrawl, Bombsketball and more let the heroes sharpen their skills in new ways.

With a roster of more than 30 Legends, each with distinct two-weapon combinations and fighting styles, every aspiring warrior can find a hero that suits their playstyle.

Grab a horn of mead and prepare to face off against opponents from a different platform in the Grand Tournament of Valhalla.

Brawlhalla is currently available on Android. iOS, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|s and PC.
