The headline for most will be the Bloomhalla 2026 Spring Event, which officially kicks off on April 8th. Players have until April 29th to earn event-exclusive rewards, including the new Sidekick Dandy and the Vivi Batida de Rua skin. If you're looking to refresh your Legend's look for the new season, this is the window to do it.
For the competitive crowd, the debut of Elysium is the real story. This new map features four soft platforms and a large central spike, offering a unique layout for both 1v1 and 2v2 queues. To make room for these changes, the ranked map pool has been rotated: Small Wasteland and Shadowscar Landing are in, while Miami Dome and Mos Eisley Spaceport have been cycled out.
On the technical side, Blue Mammoth Games is addressing movement feel. The update improves backdash jump consistency, a subtle but vital change for defensive positioning and bait-and-switch tactics. Additionally, the developers have reverted recent snap down distance changes to maintain the tight, responsive air game that defines the meta. These tweaks ensure that your inputs translate more reliably during intense off-stage scrambles.
Beyond the screen, new merchandise is hitting the scene. The Spring Championship 2026 Pack launches April 10th, and a new wave of Youtooz plushies is now available. Console players should also keep an eye out for a new PlayStation+ Pack arriving on April 17th, providing even more ways to deck out your roster as the spring season heats up.
