Early access officially begins on October 7, opening the doors to all players without the need for codes, keys, or special invites. If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the game, this is the moment.

One of the headline features arriving with early access is the start of Season 0. Seasons will shape the ongoing life of the game, each one bringing a brand-new champion to the roster. By starting with Season 0, players get to be part of the foundation before the competitive ladder and meta fully settle in.

Another addition worth noting is the arrival of combo trials. For newcomers, they’ll serve as a handy teaching tool, breaking down mechanics and execution. For veterans, they’re a way to refine timing and squeeze the most out of each character’s toolkit.

The developers are also making a clear push toward grassroots competition. Through the end of the year, they’ll be sponsoring 22 community tournaments. That kind of backing means more opportunities for players to test their skills, whether it’s their first taste of organized play or they’re seasoned bracket grinders.

With early access only a couple of weeks away, October 7 is shaping up to be the start of something substantial. Whether you’re jumping in to chase wins, learn new combos, or just see how the first season shakes out, there’s no barrier to entry everyone can play from day one.
