Taken from a post with the Lead Designer – Peter Ilves of Bloodline Champions we can see what exciting things are in store for us in upcoming patches! (Including work on a new Bloodline)

In this months Developer Update there are several new features that have been discussed that I am going to summarise, you can view the full post including more details here.
The launch season has pretty much just begun and a new patch has been released with some updates and additions. With that there is also a couple of balance changes and most notably a few bigger changes, as the ones to the Vanguard and the Guardian.

During the launch season eSport manager James “2GD” Harding will be hosting weekly tournaments on the site http://www.glhf.gg/. This allows the community to take part in some tournament action before the launch of Season 1 which is planned to go live in March. With Season 1 they will introduce a couple of major updates which are sure to get you salivating.

Tournament System

• In the first version of the Tournament System you will be able to jump straight into a Tournament with a single click. A set number of Tournaments will be hosted every week with special in-game prizes!
• To be able to participate in a Tournament you must first qualify by playing team matchmaking, which is another update that is planned with this patch.
• Players and Teams will be able to dynamically rise and fall in ranks, divisions and leagues between games.
• Placement matches will be introduced which will fit teams and players into an appropriate league faster! And also further improvements will be made to the matchmaking system.
• After your placement games your team will be able to join a Tournament with the right requirements; if you have been placed in the Iron or Bronze league you can participate in Tournaments with Iron/Bronze requirement, if you’ve placed in the Gold league you can participate in Tournaments with Gold requirements.
• Tournaments will be hosted for all skill levels so that everyone can experience Tournament games in Bloodline Champions!
• Tournament currency will also be introduced that can be used to unlock special items in the Marketplace.

New Bloodline

Announced on the Bloodline Champions Release Event work has begun on a new Bloodline, which I’m sure everyone is excited about! Here’s a  concept of the sword wielding Bloodline. The details on the  Bloodline will be revealed later on.




Emote System

An Emote System will be implemented so you can taunt and mock your opponents. With the Emote System you will be able to play all kinds of emotes, such as waving, dancing, running around like a chicken and more!

You can check out a preview of the Blood Priest dance emote below!

Other than these new features you can expect marketplace updates, new items, new maps and new achievements! A lot of awesome stuff to look forward to in March and April!

Game Balance

Currently the focus is on the different tank Bloodlines since there are a few changes that they would like to do in that area. Also a closer look on the latest Bloodlines; the Stalker, Blood Priest, Guardian and Seeker, to ensure that they are well balanced and have an interesting play style.

Don’t worry they will be looking at pomp, nomad and the other bloodlines as well!

On the Horizon

Some features that we can expect to see in the future include; replay support, clan support, updates to game modes and updates to the Bloodgate GUI.
