As someone who’s been gaming for decades and has seen my fair share of virtual loot, I must say the offerings in Mallhalla this time around are quite intriguing! The RGB Weapon Set is a sight for sore eyes, making every swing and throw look like a masterpiece. And oh, those adorable Imoodle and King Zoodle Avatars? Pure charm overload!

Blue Mammoth Games has unveiled the 8.15 update for Brawlhalla, introducing King Zuva as a playable character. This latest version also brings enhancements to the user interface, new cosmetic items in Mallhalla, numerous bug fixes, and gameplay modifications.

Created by Blue Mammoth Games, Brawlhalla stands as a free-to-play fighting game showcasing more than 50 characters, collectively known as “Legends.” Each Legend possesses unique weapons and abilities. Engage in an assortment of game modes, ranging from competitive ranked 1v1 and 2v2 matches to chaotic free-for-alls accommodating up to eight players. The user-friendly controls and consistent updates since its 2017 debut have kept the game popular. Seasonal events and esports tournaments help foster an engaging competitive atmosphere.

The star attraction of the October 2024 release is King Zuva, the latest character joining the Brawlhalla roster of legends. Known as “The Stampede,” Zuva boasts immense power and robust defense. Additionally, players can customize King Zuva with various new skins, each offering a distinct look: The Golden Gladiator Zuva, Ancestral Zuva, and Elegant Zuva. This update also initiates the first stage of a significant revamp of Brawlhalla‘s user interface. Taking cues from the game’s recently refreshed logo, the new UI features upgraded splash art for selecting legends, a reworked player menu, fresh fonts, and a more streamlined overall design.

With King Zuva joining the roster, the Mallhalla shop has received a fresh update featuring brand-new cosmetic options. Gamers can now obtain the vibrant RGB Weapon Set, adorning all 14 weapon categories, or choose the Primrose Mallet, a themed hammer skin for Brawlhalla’s characters. Additionally, new doodle-style avatars have been added, like the Imoodle for Imugi and the King Zoodle for Zuva. The game is gearing up for its annual Brawlhalloween event commencing on October 23rd. During this festive occasion, unique items for 2024 will be unveiled, such as the Calavera Catrina Seven skin, the Ofrenda 2024 podium, and fresh emojis.

Similar to past Brawlhalla updates, patch 8.15 tackles numerous gameplay problems and bugs. For instance, the “Mayhem” map selection has been taken out of specific game modes, and glitches with the Hammer weapon’s animations have been ironed out. Moreover, those using the PS5 DualSense Edge controller can now experience seamless compatibility with Brawlhalla on Steam, Ubisoft Connect, and Epic Games.

In this latest update, Patch 8.15, issues such as Vivi’s Neutral Blasters targeting enemies prematurely and a UI flaw causing Master Chief’s hands to vanish while using specific skins have been addressed and corrected. Players are now invited to delve into the exciting new features that this patch has to offer!

  • 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.
