- Ultimechs Version 1.7.1 is now live! - Balancing Update - 7 June 2023
Hello Pilots! In this update we’ve focused on fine tuning the balancing of the competitive mode of Ultimechs. These changes have been based on statistics from the game, VRML matches, as well as community feedback. In broad strokes, we’ve focused on strengthening the mechs across the board, but with Titan getting a lesser buff than Nitro and Viper to bring them closer to each other. We’ve also adjusted the Inhuman bots for those hardcore players out there that are continuing to push the limits of how to play the game. We hope you enjoy this update and continue to enjoy Ultimechs! Competitive Balance Updates Arena Slightly lowered the spinning & curve properties for the ball. Lowered the Supercharges spawn cooldown from 15 to 14. Mechs Increased strength of GauntJets hits on the ball for all mechs. Decreased the strength of GauntJets from stopping the ball for all mechs. Slightly decrease…

- Rank Distribution Rework in Competitive Mode - 1 March 2023
Hello Pilots, You may have noticed that your rank in-game changed with the latest update. This is because we've taken steps to improve the ranked experience in the game. With the update, we made it so that players' skill level more accurately reflects their player ranks in regards to their results when playing versus other players. This means that some may have been bumped up or down after 1.7 went live. We originally intended this to be the case for competitive season 2, but went ahead and implemented it with the 1.7 update. With the upcoming competitive season, when we will be switching to a monthly rank reset - the Ace rank will now be something to strive for, instead of something that will be awarded to active players. This will become more apparent with Competitive Season 2. We hope that you enjoy this change and that it will make your rank progression a bit more exciting moving fo…

- Ultimechs version 1.7 is now live! - Bots & Improvements Update - 16 February 2023
Pilots, the newest version of Ultimechs is now available for you to download. This update focuses on improving and optimizing many parts of the game including bots, gameplay and various game modes! Version 1.7 also introduces the “Play vs AI” mode where players can now play and gain experience from playing versus the newly improved bots. While queuing for game modes, players can now also choose to play versus bots while waiting for a match to not have to wait in the garage. For gameplay we’ve taken another look at the overall feel of the game and aimed to reduce frustrating or confusing scenarios where players may have felt like their actions didn’t translate properly to their actions. This includes changes to the ball, movement, GauntJets… and well pretty much everything in the game!

- Ultimechs Server Hotfix - Competitive Matchmaking Adjustments - 5 January 2023
Hello there Pilots! We hope you enjoyed the winter holidays, and that you've had many great matches now in Season 2 of Ultimechs. Today we adjusted the matchmaking in the game to accommodate for some inconsistencies we've noted now that we have more players in the higher ranks! A minimum threshold for losing and gaining points in competitive has been added. Winning and losing streaks have been adjusted. To summarize, we saw a percentage of the games giving no points when either winning or losing matches with high contrasting ranks. Now all players should always gain or lose points when playing a competitive match. Some of you may have noticed that winning and losing streaks have been added to the game. We added these in to make it easier and faster for players to get their correct rank. So should you have a similar result for several games, this will then affect the competitive points y…

- Ultimechs version 1.5 is now live! - Competitive Mode Update - 23 November 2022
It’s time to ignite the competition with the launch of the Competitive Mode in Ultimechs! In this update, we’re introducing competitive mode, players' ranks, and leaderboards to the game. Competitive Mode is available in the play menu and starts out with the Cadet rank. When playing Competitive Mode, players will play 10 placement matches in both 1vs1 and 2vs2 before receiving an appropriate rank. Ranks will correspond to the global leaderboards found in the left side menu in the main menu which are divided into displaying 1vs1 and 2vs2. For Competitive Mode, if a match ends in a tie, instead of going to a Golden Goal, players will instead go into Sudden Death mode. Similarly to Golden Goal, the first team or player that scores for their side wins, however, the goals will stay the same in size as in a regular match. Golden Goal will still remain in the unranked mode which we’ve renamed…

- Update on the Ranked Mode of Ultimechs! - 15 November 2022
Hey Pilots, we have some unfortunate news to share with you today. We've been hard at work in bringing you the ranked mode for Ultimechs as soon as we could. In our development, we've run into some critical issues when developing this feature, and because of that, we had to take the tough decision to delay the release of ranked mode slightly. However, with this, we also wanted to share the release date of 1.5 of Ultimechs which will be November 23rd now instead - and will include the release of the Ranked Mode, as well as the launch of leaderboards in the game. We're super thankful for your support of the game, and we hope that you'll be excited to compete for the rank tiers in the game when they are released.
