During ‘The Rush Begins’, players will be able to earn seasonal daily rewards by logging into the game. Players opting for the Chess Soul pass can earn up to 17 times more rewards when logging in daily for seasonal gameplay. Along with the arrival of season 1 players will also be able to add the latest Undead characters Stinger and Gluttony.

When researching an abandoned relic, Stinger stumbled upon a cloak bearing a rose on its hood. Unaware, Stinger put on the cloak the rose sprung to life and it’s thorns attached to her. The soul within the cloak attached itself to Stinger’s soul and although she tried, she was unable to remove it. Now reawakened, Stinger is no longer living but is also not dead. Players will be able to now add Stinger and Glutton to their epic lineup and unleash them on their opponents on the battlefield. Players will also be able to choose from new characters to represent themselves and command their troops in battle.

In the coming weeks, players will also be able to team up with even more friends with the release of the 4v4 Squad Clash mode. The new mode will allow players to team up with three of their friends to form their four-person team. Teams will then be matched up against another team of four players from anywhere around the world and will have their strategy and tactical skills put to the test. Only one team in Squad Clash mode will be able to claim victory. Along with the release of Squad Mode players will also be able to do battle on brand new themed game boards.
