Evaluation

Brawlhalla is a free-to-play platform fighter that has been operating as an ongoing live service since its full launch on October 17, 2017, and all evidence as of August 2026 confirms this continues at full pace. The game runs on a seasonal Battle Pass structure: Battle Pass Season 13 (Age of Dragons) launched March 18, 2026, and Battle Pass Classic Season 8 launched June 17, 2026. New playable Legends are introduced on a roughly monthly cadence — Rupture (Legend 68) launched January 21, 2026, and Aurus launched June 17, 2026. Major franchise crossover events are a regular fixture: a Star Wars event launched April 29, 2026, an Attack on Titan crossover launched December 4, 2025, and the Brawlhalla x Shrek crossover (Shrek, Fiona, and Puss in Boots) launched July 29, 2026. Recurring seasonal events like Heatwave also returned in July 2026. New core systems are actively being built out: a June 14, 2026 announcement revealed In-Game Tournaments are in development with a planned release later in 2026, and a redesigned weapon spawn system is being tested in an upcoming Experimental Queue. The Brawlhalla World Championship Expo is scheduled for November 13–15, 2026 in Atlanta, where the developer has promised 'the biggest reveals of 2026.' The most recent developer communication was the Shrek crossover patch on July 28, 2026 — less than three weeks before today's date. The store description reflects the ongoing model, stating that a new Legend may arrive 'next month.' With over 125 million players, no announced end date, and confirmed future features and events already on the calendar, this game is designed to keep growing indefinitely.

About this game

Brawlhalla is and always will be 100% free to play. Plus with server regions across the world and over 125 million players, you can play with anyone and everyone no matter who you are or where you are.

Test your skill in Ranked 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3, then chill with your friends in modes like Capture the Flag and Volleybrawl, and survive as long as possible in Horde and Walker Attack.

From a werewolf with ice powers, to a space warrior who controls black holes, to a trickster god with a very large pet snake, to a fairy queen who rides a war beetle into battle, there is a Legend for everyone. And maybe next month there will be a new one for you, too.

What legendary battle will you play out? SpongeBob SquarePants & Darth Vader vs John Cena & Mega Man? What about Aang & Tiny Tina vs Rayman & Lara Croft? Or even Po & Heatblast vs Chun Li & Shovel Knight?

Brawlhalla is free to play on PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android devices. With cross-play, that means anyone on any platform can play with you on your console, computer, or phone.
