New Background Options are available in the Settings menu. Players having issues tracking the movement of Legends on screen can now choose to also blur the backgrounds in-game. Default Backgrounds – Beautiful Brawlhalla backgrounds and animations.

  • Simple Backgrounds – Backgrounds that have animated effects will not animate.

    • Blurred Background – Backgrounds will be blurred based off of the setting of low, medium or high. Animated effects will also not animate.

Color exclusion occurs when an opposing Legend’s color scheme would be too visually similar to another Legend’s color scheme or to the background. The game will automatically display the Legend with a different, more contrasting color scheme.

We have expanded the list of exclusions the game checks for in this update. This is another step towards helping players differentiate an opposing Legend’s colors from the background or from their own color.

For example, Skyforged could potentially cause difficulty in readability when matched against colors like Gray and Purple. This update helps improve readability for this case and others.

Color exclusion only affects how you see your opponent. If you select a color scheme like Skyforged, you will always see your Legend in Skyforged.

Before this update, if you rank in the top 250 global in 1v1 or 2v2s, a window appears in the ranked lobby that shows your current global rank.

Now, this window displays your ranking amongst the top 1000 in your region. For example, if you are ranked number 1000 or higher in US-E, it will now display your ranking and your region of US-E. If you are number 1001 in US-E, this window will not be shown.
