We're only one week out!!!

Also holy poo poo these are cool:






The unicorn is the final reward of the first battle pass, and the rest seem to be store bundles of 4. I think. Maybe. I'm not sure. I think that's what the website says.

Do you have to buy the battle pass? I can't tell. I want Unicorn but I'm not spending a cent lol

Free to play game so I think it's safe to assume you will need to drop money for the battle pass

I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

There's a free pass, and two upper levels, Premium and Premium+

Premium:
Unlock Premium Pass rewards.

You will receive all of the Premium Pass rewards corresponding to the Season Pass Level you've reached at the time of your upgrade. (For example, if you're at Season Pass Level 10 at the time of purchase, you'll receive all Premium Pass rewards up to Level 10.)

If you're below Player Level 20, Ranked Match will be unlocked only during your Premium Pass period.


Premium+:
Unlock Premium Pass rewards.

Adds 20 levels to your Season Pass Level, and receive all of the Premium Pass rewards corresponding to that Season Pass Level. You will also receive any Standard Pass rewards you've yet to obtain. Season Pass EXP starts at 0. (For example, if you're at Season Pass Level 10 at the time of purchase, you will jump to Season Pass Level 30 at 0 EXP and receive all Premium Pass rewards up to Level 30, as well as all unobtained Standard Pass rewards.)

If you're below Player Level 20, Ranked Match will be unlocked only during your Premium Pass period.

Looks like Premium+ is just an additional 20 level boost

The pass upgrades are bought with EVO coins, so depending on how much they pay out, you could potentially get a premium for free.

Yeah, how I feel about the monetization systems really depends on how many EVO coins you can get playing free.

It says somewhere that a BP pays out a total of 990 EVO coins at completion.

That sounds like (based on no evidence) around $10 buckos, which sounds like what a typical BP goes for.

Worth noting is that microtransactions are unavailable for the first two days. This is slightly relevant because I think Unicorn is part of "Season 1" so the first two days we probably won't see Unicorn.

We'd be in Season 0.

Also apparently the game's not unlocking until 7PM PT/10PM ET

Then this is barely the launch date, huh?

That's about noon in Japan, where the devs and target audience are, so makes sense to me.
