24 October 2026
The October 23 local Windows playtest build includes new 3840 × 2160, 24 fps browsing animations for all eight champions: Kael, Nera, Tamsin, Brann, Mira, Vessa, Odrik, and Iona. On the champion-selection screen, hovering over or focusing a champion previews their loop without changing your chosen champion.
Matching still images appear while a loop loads, and reduced-motion or Low effects settings use still art. The confirmed-champion screen continues to use its original illustration; its optional selected-video variants were not changed. Decks and combat rules are unchanged by this visual update.
The eight new loops and matching stills are included in the packaged Windows playtest build. The build archive’s checksum was verified. A public download link for this build has not been announced.
