Arena brawler game "Battlerite" has been out for a year and a half already. Now that the game is out of early access and getting its official release, developer Stunlock Studios has decided to celebrate. They are also releasing their first-ever competitive season and to make things interesting, a new champion has also arrived in the game.

The new champion is an assassin-type of hero named Jamila the Shadowblade Assassin. She just got her animated teaser recently and players can expect a similar type of gameplay for her as well. While players since the early access will know that a new champion means another set of grinding to unlock, the official release has made it easier to get champions.

The developer has also decided to implement a daily quest system. Players will just have to follow the simple instructions as stated in the quest. Players, according to Stunlock, will be able to "expand[s] on the current daily quests by allowing players to follow specific reward paths to unlock Champions, earn in-game currency as well as season-specific rewards." 

Of course, there are also ways to get this champion via real money. This made some casual gamers feel quite left out during the early access but with the new quest system, they should be able to catch it a lot easier.

Like in any competitive online game, "Battlerite" will also have its own rotation of free champions for players to use. It will also happen weekly. One season will last around two to three months. Players on ranked matches will also be able to switch champions to fit the team's needs.

Speaking of ranked matches, the top 200 players of each region will be placed on the leaderboards. There is actually more to the official release, and those who want to read more can visit the game's website.
