Paired with two new Dimensional Rift anomalies, Season 8 gives commanders fresh tools and new situations to master. We are excited to see how players adapt to new strategies.” ***Mechabellum***** Season 8 features:** - **TYPHOON REMAKE – **Typhoon has been fully reworked and promoted to core unit status. Its overpowered snowballing has been reined in, and a redefined role as a front-line, chaff-clearing, anti-air unit takes its place, supported by an all-new set of Techs including Range Enhancement, Anti-Air Marker, Reactive Armor, Maintenance Array, Field Reassembly, Wreckage Detonation, and Field Entrenchment. The remake was shaped directly by community feedback and player data. - **NEW DIMENSIONAL RIFT ANOMALIES – **Two new anomalies join the rotating Dimensional Rift mode. Battlefield Power Research lets players choose Battlefield Powers to develop at the Research Center, with research taking time and progress visible to both opponents. Experimental Death Knell starts each player with a bonus Experimental Death Knell equipped with 20 unlockable Techs that grows as your rank rises. - **EPIC GAMES STORE LAUNCH – ***Mechabellum* is now available on the Epic Games Store, where new commanders can pick up the game at a 40% introductory discount through June 18, 2026. - **NEW COSMETIC ITEMS – **Earn a fresh assortment of skins, avatars, avatar frames, emotes, and medals just by playing the game. - **BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS – **A range of balance updates further sharpens unit matchups and keeps competitive play fresh.
