'Brawlhalla' (ALL) Reveals 2021 Esports Program With A $1 Million Prize Pool

by Rainier on Feb. 2, 2021 @ 12:00 a.m. PST

Brawlhalla is an epic free-to-play platform fighting game that brings players to the fight for glory in the halls of Valhalla.

Vikings, pirates, aliens, and more battle in a tourney of champions for bragging rights, mead, and the joy of delivering a beatdown. Players can play classic four player local matches, fight online, or create a custom lobby to challenge friends.

Odin, King of the Gods, built a heaven for warriors and called it Valhalla. On his command, Valkyries, beautiful goddesses of war, scoured the universe for the greatest warriors to fill this hall. To Odin’s surprise, the Valkyries brought back not only vikings, but legendary warriors of every description, and soon pirates, cowboys, Mongol warriors, Amazons, even monsters and aliens roamed the hall.

While waiting for Ragnarok, the warriors become bored. Constant battle spilled out of the Great Hall, and Asgard was smashed to rubble again and again. Odin, pulling his hair out in a last moment of desperation, set up the grand tournament. Now, the best warriors from every time and place fight to become champion, while the Valkyries constantly venture far and wide to bring back warriors who will earn them honor in Brawlhalla.

Ubisoft and Blue Mammoth Games announced its 2021 Brawlhalla Esports program, with a total prize pool of USD $1,000,000 and five international championships planned from February to November 2021. Marking Brawlhalla’s biggest prize pool ever, the 2021 season demonstrates Ubisoft’s commitment to support the growing esports scene of its epic fighting game now counting over 50 million players worldwide.

Five international tournaments will be organized across the year. The 2021 season will kickstart with the Winter Championship: with a USD $75,000 total prize pool, this online tournament will happen from February 27 to March 14. Brawlhalla supports cross-platform play, allowing players to compete on any platform. Players will be able to register starting today, and more information is available here.

Later this year, players across the world will be able to participate in:

  • The Spring Championship: happening online in April and May
  • Summer Championship: happening online in July
  • The Autumn Championship happening online in September and October
  • The World Championship: happening in November. More information on the format will be shared later this year

In these tournaments, all players will have a chance to earn winnings from the Brawlhalla esports program prize pool. Ubisoft and Blue Mammoth Games will also organize several invitational events throughout the year, including the Brawlhalla Pro Series, a four-week online competition with a unique new format that will take place in June. More details to come later on.

Brawlhalla's straightforward controls make the game easy for new players to pick up, while still having the depth to support a thriving competitive community. With more than 30 distinct warriors to choose from, each with two playstyle-altering weapon types, every victory is a spectacle worthy of the gods.

A variety of online and offline modes offer something for every Legend looking to prove their might in Asgard. Ranked queues, local 1v1 and 2v2, a four-player online free-for-all and online or local free-for-all allow up to eight warriors to take the field at once. Alternate game modes Brawlball, Snowbrawl, Bombsketball and more let the heroes sharpen their skills in new ways.

With a roster of more than 30 Legends, each with distinct two-weapon combinations and fighting styles, every aspiring warrior can find a hero that suits their playstyle.

Grab a horn of mead and prepare to face off against opponents from a different platform in the Grand Tournament of Valhalla.

Brawlhalla is currently available on Android. iOS, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
