Say hello to the BONUS XP MATSURI event! From now until the end of the season, we’ve increased the XP amounts you get for playing, and doubled the amount of XP you obtain from Daily Contracts. Join the party and finish the Battlepass before Season 4!
Season 4 is on the horizon and we are excited to share what we’ve been working on very soon! Alongside all the new things we have prepared for you, you can expect balance changes that reflect on everything we’ve learned-and continue to learn- throughout Season 3.
