💌 Spring 2025 Dev Update: Take a look at what we’re working on! (+ Giveaway! 🎁)

Coaches, gather around!

‘Tis the first day of Spring, and we’ve got lots to share with you all! ✨

👀 Take a look behind the scenes and uncover what the Pocket Champs Team is currently working on – hoping to delight you in the coming weeks and months!

🎁 Plus, we’re running new Giveaways on Facebook and Discord – details below!

💡 Please keep in mind this is only a plan of our goals – not a promise. What makes it into the game, and when, will be confirmed in future announcements. As always, feedback is welcomed!

🎯 MINI-GAMES WITH UNIQUE GAMEPLAY

“Can I control my Champ?” We’ve heard this request countless times—and it’s time to take action! By popular demand, we’re currently exploring ways of adding fresh gameplay experiences – from variations of the current racing experience (like Gadget Perks in Gadget Ascent) to separate mini-games that play much differently, such as the Training Pla… Oops, that one’s still a secret! Stay tuned! 😉

💪 NEW WAYS TO TRAIN YOUR CHAMP

Speaking of training, too often has our community voiced concerns about Power stat imbalances and the difficulty of getting the type of Training Bag you really need the most. As a dedicated Coach, you should have more control over your Champ’s growth and that’s why we’re looking to add ways of guaranteeing the Power stat reward of your choice. Stay tuned, we’re revealing one later this month!

💬 DID SOMEONE SAY SOCIAL EVENTS?

Raise your hands if you want to play with – or against – your friends! 🤚 Ooh, that’s a lot of hands! Last year we experimented with “Community Rush” and “Squad Training” – the latter for which many of you had some pretty intense feedback to share! 😅 Feedback received, lessons learned! We’ll first fine-tune and reintroduce Squad Training as a regular event, and then come up with brand new social experiences!

🔮 A BETTER HALL OF FAME

It’s getting a bit dusty in there! Abilities were introduced 2 years ago to make hunting down every Collection item (Shapes, Gadgets, etc.) fun and rewarding for your personal Hall of Fame. But since then, we’ve scarcely added new Frames and Abilities. Time to expand all of this! Expect more content to be added for it, more frequently than ever – that will surely unleash the completionist in you!

🏆 A NEW TROPHY ROAD ENDGAME

We’ve seen passionate players share their excitement about the journey towards the Champion’s League, only to be let down by what happens once you’re there. In case last week’s survey didn’t make it obvious (thank you for more than 3,000 answers!), know that we’re on it – we’ll make sure the Trophy Road keeps its prestige no matter your progress. Getting it right will take some time, though… More details in Summer!

🚀 AND MORE, OF COURSE!

🔎 Quality of Life improvements, like Gadget Type filters for easier selection.

💡 Experimental changes based on feedback—like our recent race speed test!

⚖️ Continued balance tweaks to keep rewards and difficulty fair and exciting.

🏅 More Shapes added to Tournaments, Coach Missions, and special Events!

That’s all we’ve got to share today, but rest assured that list keeps on growing every week! 👀
