Battlerite adds new champions Jumong and Ruh Kaan, new map

The incredibly awesome arena brawler Battlerite has just seen the release of two new champions today: Ruh Kaan, The Crypt Warden and Jumong, The Beast Hunter. The patch also brings new legendary weapons and new mounts, as well as the new Blackstone Arena – Night map.

There's also a Halloween Season Event (October 21st to November 4th) with plenty of Halloween items, a few improvements to matchmaking and balancing of some existing champions.

Battlerite is free-to-play upon launch, but is currently in a paid Early Access phase.

“Ruh Kaan, The Crypt Warden, was awoken from his deep slumber when a grave robber disturbed the sacred crypts of Ark’dun. Pursuing the trespasser led him to the Arenas, where he still tracks his quarry. A wielder of dark powers, Ruh Kaan consumes the souls of those who stand in his way.”

“Jumong, The Beast Hunter, is a trophy collector who wandered the wildlands in pursuit of a worthy challenge. No longer content with hunting the great beasts of this world, Jumong looks to the arena for a new type of prey. He traps his foes and brings them to their death with the accuracy of his mighty bow.”
