YOUR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE EVOLVES… AGAIN!
🏆 This feature requires having 50,000 Trophies
Fortune favors the Champions, Coaches!
When we released Island Cups last Summer, we said it was only a first step for how we wanted the Trophy Road to evolve. Today, we’re revealing the second part of this highly anticipated update, which also addresses some of the community feedback we’ve seen in surveys!
A more exciting Island Cup experience!
• A 5th Island has been added: Yummy Island! Don’t be fooled by its appealing name — it comes packed with just as many challenging Races as the other islands! And sweet rewards, of course!
• Because of this, the Yummy Gadget Type has been renamed the Food Gadget Type. 😋
• Island rotation is more frequent: completing an Island Cup happens after 25 Island Races instead of 50, refreshing challenges and rewards more often to keep the Trophy Road exciting!
💡 Note: Completing the Legendary Chest reward gauge will now require 125 Island Races instead of 150.
• Featured Gadgets matter more: an Island Cup can feature up to 3 different Gadgets that have specific modifiers applied to them for all of its 25 Island Races until the next rotation!
Introducing Choices and Island Fortune rewards!
• You can now choose your next Island Cup: After completing 25 Island Races, you’ll be asked to pick between 2 Islands from the current selection of 5, affecting the types of Races and rewards you’ll get!
💡 Note: If you’re unhappy with your options, you have an opportunity to reroll for Gems.
• Completing Island Cups now grants Island Fortune rewards: These are new special sets of rewards that are different for every Island you visit! To claim them, you’ll need Fortune tokens obtained by racing!
Here’s a summary of how Island Fortunes work:
🏁 When you visit an Island for the first time, you will discover its set of Island Fortune rewards!
🎁 These rewards may include unique items like Shapes and Gadgets, or resources like Tickets.
⭐ Claiming a reward requires 1 Fortune token. You get one by completing an Island Cup’s 25 Races.
💡 Note: Fortune tokens are not shared among Islands — every Island has a different token to collect!
🎉 Fortune rewards are always unlocked in a random order — how lucky are you feeling? 😎
✅ Every Island Fortunes set has one special reward that is only collected after completing the set!
💎 If you’re in a hurry, you can always use Gems instead of a Fortune token to collect your next reward.
With this change, we hope you’ll have a much more exciting time choosing your next Trophy Road challenges, aiming for specific rewards that have your full attention!
Remember, once an Island Fortune is revealed, it will always be visible in the Shop, refreshing upon completion. Happy racing!
New Collection Content!
Exclusive to Island Fortunes, you can get your hands on 5 new Legendary Shapes (1 per Island) and complete a brand new Frame that grants you the prestigious Island Champion Coach Icon!
How fast can you unlock them all?
EXPERIMENTAL CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT
Once again, the creative folks at Madbox Labs 🧪 will run a temporary experiment that will only be visible for randomly selected players.
We don't want the community to be surprised, so we're letting you know in advance that some players might experience the following change:
• Extra player details on the Race Result screen: Being able to tap on any player profile to display their Run, Swim, Climb and Fly Power details.
💡 Note: As always, we may apply or revert this Experimental Change at any moment. This is not a confirmation that something will or will not be added to the game permanently. Your feedback is welcome!
WHAT’S NEXT FOR POCKET CHAMPS? 👀
Lots of things! We know our community is quite curious, and we’re happy to oblige.
Last year, we started talking about our desire to establish a new vision for Gadgets and their upgrades — a core aspect of the game that we absolutely know can shine much more and feel more rewarding overall.
Our first goal is making Gadget upgrading a lot more meaningful for you — whenever you choose to upgrade a Gadget, we want you to immediately feel a clear difference in how it can help you win races.
We’ve gone through many, many ideas when thinking of Gadget Distance, Speed, Total Upgrade Levels, Cost of upgrading in Gold and Cards, and what each Gadget level you gain actually changes.
So far we’ve mostly been doing the math behind the scenes, but our next step is to see if we got this important rebalancing step right by applying it as an Experimental Change for select players this Spring.
We’ll share more details in a future Dev Diary dedicated to how we’re rebalancing Gadget upgrades! And perhaps hints of other ideas currently in development that we haven’t announced yet, but that we’re sure you’ll bond with… 😉
