Hey Coaches, glad you could join me!
Iâm Madbox HĂ©raclĂ©a, and as the Game Producer for Pocket Champs, it is my pleasure to present some of the wonderful future updates the team and I are currently focused on â hoping to deliver content that our community has been highly anticipating and that will delight you for the end of the year, and in 2026!
Whether youâre a newcomer or an accomplished Champion, youâre in for an energizing Autumn in the world of Pocket Champs with lots of new ways to spice up your experience â starting with the full release of Update 7.0 in the next few days! Take a look right below! đ
đ Plus, weâre running a new Giveaway to win 10,000 Gems â see details at the end!
First, a quick note!
đ Youâre about to take a look behind the scenes of Pocket Champs and see what we hope to build for the coming weeks and months!
đĄ Please keep in mind this is only a plan of our goals â not a promise! What makes it into the game, and when, will be confirmed in separate announcements by your Community Manager â Madbox Elie!
As always, feedback is welcomed! đ Ready? Letâs dive in!
đ A New Gadget Type!
You read that right â for the first time in 3 years, weâll be expanding the existing family of Gadget Types (currently Sport, Mecha, Magical and Spooky). For now, this 5th Gadget Type will remain as equally mysterious as it is delicious, but new Gadgets for it will have a unique activation behavior that is sure to keep things exciting for the many new challenges coming your way. đ Full reveal later this Autumn!
đ Champions League Update #2!
Update 7.0 is finally about to release and introduce Island Cups for the new Champions League, but we can already talk about whatâs next! In one word: Choices! We want progressing through Island Cups to be unique, not only by adding variety (including a new Island!), but by also giving you ways of customizing where your journey takes you to unlock the rewards that matter most to you! đŹ Please look forward to our upcoming survey!
đ A Spooky Good Time!
Thank you to everyone whoâs answered our 3rd Anniversary survey! If youâre a fan of limited-time events, you wonât be waiting too long as weâre currently putting the finishing touches on a flurry of spooky rewards â including 2 new Gadgets!! Make sure you donât miss any of it as there will be a new Event Frame to complete in your Hall of Fame! đ More to be revealed in October!
⥠New Gadget Upgrade System!
Wish we added more Gadget Levels beyond 13? Good news: we will⊠do more than that! In fact, weâre taking a look at everything related to Gadgets: Distance, Speed, Gadget Card requirements, etc. Our goal here is to make Gadget evolution more meaningful â after each upgrade, we want you to feel a difference in races! Today weâre still âdoing the mathâ to get it right â đŹ but look forward to a survey shortly!
đ And more to come as we prepare for 2026, of course!
đ During special Tournaments, instead of a random prize, all players will fight for the same new Shape!
đŒïž Speaking of which, youâll soon be able to show-off some Tournament Shapes in the Hall of Fame!
đź More improvements are coming to Events â starting with Gadget Ascent and Training Playground!
đ In fact, weâre thinking of various ways to improve Events in general, including a redesigned menu!
đ Once weâre done with the Champions League, expect the full Trophy Road experience to evolve!
đ« Youâre also getting neat Quality of Life changes such as translated game news and an in-game Inbox!
đš As revealed earlier today, you can look forward to a new Shape inspired by community fanart!
đ Lastly, in Summer we explored new Champ progression ideas. We might return to it next year â keep sharing your suggestions!
đ New Giveaway: Want to win 10,000 Gems?
We'd love to hear what you think of our current plans â you could win 10,000 Gems for sharing your thoughts!
đ On our Facebook page, or on our Discord #updates channel, find our Autumn Dev Update post and simply leave a comment telling us your opinion, hopes or desires about today's reveals â before September 30!
đ 10 winners will be randomly selected to win 10,000 Gems and announced in October.
Thatâs all Iâve got to share today, but Iâm sure your Community Manager, Madbox Elie, is already working on more in-depth reveals for future Dev Diaries!
