Dev Recap: February 2025
Welcome to the first edition of Development Recaps! This is where we break down the latest updates, improvements, and behind-the-scenes work happening on Blitz!
In this recap, we’ll go over the latest updates, talk about what’s coming next, and give you a glimpse at some cool things we’re working on.
Masteries 🔮
We’re introducing our own take on leveling systems—Masteries! Masteries are a fun way for players to unlock cosmetics, earn currency, and get cool gadgets just by playing the game!
The more you play, the more Mastery Points you earn—whether it’s by winning matches, getting kills, destroying capsules, completing quests, or other in-game challenges.
It’s a great way to stay active and rack up rewards along the way!
Bounty Wars ⚔️
Get ready for Bounty Wars, Blitz’s unique spin on the classic BedWars formula! While the core gameplay remains familiar, we’re adding some exciting twists to keep things fresh and engaging.
Take a look at a preview of our map, Calicut:
Instead of protecting a bed, players will defend a bounty capsule. But that’s just the beginning!
Meet Takara & Take on Quests! 🏅
When you join Bounty Wars, you’ll spawn in a specially designed hub filled with NPCs for solos, duos, and squads. One key NPC you’ll want to visit is Takara—your go-to for bounties and quests!
Takara offers daily and weekly challenges that reward you with Mastery Points, in-game currency, and other cool prizes. Whether it’s taking down opponents, breaking capsules, or completing other objectives, there’s always something to work toward!
With Bounty Wars, every match is more than just a fight for survival—it’s a chance to earn rewards, complete quests, and prove your skills. Get ready to dive in and start your bounty-hunting adventure
Gadgets 🔩
Gadgets are unique weapons and tools that add extra flair to your gameplay! Each gadget possesses unique abilities and attacks designed to give you an advantage in combat. However, rest assured—they can only be unlocked through progression, with no option to acquire them through purchase. You can unlock them through Masteries or by participating in special events.
Gadgets will rotate with each major update. New gadgets will be introduced, while older ones will be temporarily removed, returning in future updates.
Bounties 💎
The heart of Bounty Wars lies in its namesake—Bounties! This feature adds a thrilling competitive edge to every match.
How Bounties Work
Each week, the top 3 players on the K/W/M leaderboard (Kills, Wins, MVPs) will have a bounty placed on them.
The Hunt Begins!
At the start of a game, if a player with a bounty is in the match, everyone will be notified with an announcement. That’s your signal—it’s time to hunt!
If you manage to final kill a bounty player, you’ll earn exclusive rewards for taking down one of the best. It’s a high-risk, high-reward system that keeps every match intense and competitive!
Panel 🧰
The Panel is an upgraded take on the BedWars upgrades system, offering more ways to level up your gameplay. Think of it as a semi-shop, where you can spend resources to purchase upgrades, gadgets, and power-ups
We're expanding! 🌎
We’re expanding our server regions! No matter where you are, you’ll now get a smoother, low-latency experience when playing on Blitz.
Here’s how it works: when you connect to our IP, you’ll be automagically redirected to the closest server for the best possible connection. No extra steps, no confusing menus—just hop in and start playing with less lag!
With these new regional servers, we’re making sure that everyone, from anywhere, can enjoy Blitz at its best.
For our closed playtest, we're adding North American and Asia servers along with our European servers to the mix!
Closing Thoughts
Expect more Development Recaps coming your way every month! We’re keeping you in the loop with all the latest updates, improvements, and behind-the-scenes work happening at Blitz Games.
Now, for the news you’ve all been waiting for after what felt like a decade—we’re officially targeting a closed playtest in the summer of 2025! We know the hype is real, and we can’t wait to finally let some of you jump in and experience everything we’ve been working on.
We want to note that June is just an estimated schedule and is subject to change. The playtest may launch earlier or later, depending on various factors.
For this phase, only play testers, Creators, and VIPs will have access. But don’t worry—if you want to be among the first to play, pre-orders for the Playtest Pass will be available soon.
From all of us at Blitz, stay tuned and we’ll see you in the next update!
