Patch 0.18.0: The Gold Road Opens

Fifty levels of WARPATH, a road paved in gold, and a game that finally makes some noise.

The WARPATH GOLD ROAD arrives with the new ranked season on August 1: a fifty-level season pass with a reward on every step. Around it, support tickets move into your chat dock, the cosmetics picker returns rebuilt as the Signal Deck, the Genesis Cache starts dropping, and Stellarch gets its first full sound engine (shipping quiet by default while we tune it). A round of profile fixes lands too.


🆕 New

WARPATH: March the Gold Road

Season 1 of the WARPATH battle pass launches with the new ranked season on August 1, right on the play deck. Every ranked win earns 3 points, every loss earns 1, and 550 points climb all fifty levels. The road pays out the whole way: SGC, KRED, Merit, Mythic Potions, Legendary Shards, Genesis Caches, staked STEL, and four Season 1 cosmetics that will not return. The free track pays every player, and the GOLD ROAD premium track runs alongside it with the richest drops, unlockable with SGC or KRED. Grab premium late and every premium reward you already passed unlocks on the spot. Your strip on the play deck ticks live after each match, and the summit at level fifty holds the WARBORN legendary title.

The Genesis Cache

A new kind of reward drop: the Genesis Cache. It is not for sale, it is earned. When one lands in your collection, crack it open on the packs screen for a Genesis-edition Fighter that is soulbound: yours to keep, never for the market. Richer odds than a base pack, and you will see them appear as event and season prizes.

Help, Without Leaving the Game

Need a hand or found a bug? Open the chat dock, hit the Support tab, and file a ticket right there. Attach evidence in two clicks with the built-in screenshot tool: grab the whole view, crop a region, or point at the exact element that is misbehaving. Attachments stack into a tidy thumbnail pile with a full-size lightbox, and when the team answers, the reply lands in the same thread wearing a Staff badge.

Stellarch Learns to Speak (Quietly, for Now)

The first full sound pass is in: music in the team picker and replays, per-hit combat effects, stings for battle starts, and gentle cues for chats, matches, and notifications, all riding a proper mixer with its own sliders for master, music, and effects volume. Straight talk: the mix is not where we want it yet, so sound ships muted by default while we keep working on it. We are on it. Want an early listen? Flip the speaker icon in the nav or raise the sliders in Settings, and tell us what sounds off.

🔧 Improved

Signal Deck: Your Look, One Panel

The cosmetics picker got rebuilt from the ground up as the Signal Deck: avatars, banners, and your title with its effect, all in one staged panel with a live preview. Stage your whole look, then commit it with a single Apply. It is faster, it shows exactly which pieces are equipped, staked, or listed, and it closes the era of juggling three different pickers.

🐛 Fixed

Champion Badge, Back in Line

The Champion rank badge was overlapping the profile hero on some layouts. It sits in its lane now.

The Charter Ribbon Fits Again

On tablets, the German Charter ribbon overflowed its frame. It now fits at every size, in both languages.

A Steadier Profile Hero

Your own profile hero no longer jumps down when the banner tools render, avatar cosmetic names get the room they need, and the banner card moved above the edit button where your eyes expect it.


That is the road for now. Walk it, claim it, and tell us where it squeaks. More WARPATH seasons are already on the drafting table. Thanks for playing the alpha.
