- Online Services Update now Live - 27 September 2022
Dear HyperBrawlers, Due to the loss of support for our third-party backend service provider we have updated the game to replace some of the lost functionality. Unfortunately, some features of the game could not be replaced and the following feature has been lost: Leaderboards – All player Leaderboards, including Weekly and All-Time Leaderboards have been removed from the game. Congratulations to those who topped these prestigious leaderboards in the past, your names will forever be associated with greatness! To reflect the loss of the leaderboard feature, we have decided to reduce the price of the game as follows: £4.99 / $5.99 / €5.99. Thank you for your continued support – The Milky Tea team

- Hyperbrawl’s Revolutionary Sound Design - 14 May 2021
Music and Audio are what help create immersion within video games, without sound there is no player experience. For HyperBrawl we wanted to push the boundaries of what was possible with music and audio design and through the use of the brand new machine-learning audio design technology Omnio we were able to dynamically add spatial information to audio in real-time giving audiences the physical sensation of immersion in a way that has never been put into working practice in a video game before. Throughout the development of HyperBrawl Tournament our team worked alongside the team at Omnio and legendary music composer Steve Levine to become the first ever video game in history to use this revolutionary music industry and nightlife technology within interactive media. Using Omnio, we were able to take the audio design of HyperBrawl Tournament and enable players to feel audio and experience…

- Happy New Year from Milky Tea - 31 December 2020
Happy New Year Brawlers! It's been quite the insane year to say the least, and the Milky Tea family wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year. This year has not been the year any of us had planned we've had to develop, launch and market the game we have spent the last 4 years of our lives building alongside the community all by ourselves from our homes and whilst this has proved to be a challenge at times we are honestly so proud of each member of the gang for making our dream of making our own game a reality. Plus we launched a game during a global pandemic....bragging rights and one for the Milky Tea wall ;) The reception this year has been amazing! We can't honestly thank you all enough for the support and kindness you have shown us this year, 2020 has not been a fun year to say the least, we've had to overcome the challenges or remote work and not being able to see each other as much…
- A NEW GENERATION OF HYPERBRAWL! - 20 November 2020
Hello once again Brawlers! This has been a crazy week! As a nice little reward and break from the hectic month of HyperBrawl’s launch, our team had a little cheeky game jam! Whilst we can’t share any fine details of what we created, rest assured, it resulted in some insanely fun little games, and who knows, one of them just might be Milky Tea’s next big project! There is also one more massive reason this has been such an insane couple of days. We’ve been keeping quiet about this next announcement, but I guess the cat is now out of the bag… HyperBrawl Tournament is OFFICIALLY playable for the next generation of gaming via Backwards Compatibility! *makes party horn noises* That means: faster load times, better performance and a wide new audience to play with! We can’t wait to jump in to Arena this weekend and welcome you all to a new generation of HyperBrawl! See you there! POV: The Druid…
- Fancy New Fashion! - 13 November 2020
It’s been over a month since we launched HyperBrawl Tournament and the journey is not over yet, as part of our base game Milky Tea has created tons of more unique cosmetic ONLY downloadable content! (None of that 'paying to beat your friends and strangers' stuff, that ain't the HyperBrawl way!) Giving our community a wide variety of customization has been a big goal for our team, we want our characters to feel as much as yours as they are ours, so as part of core game we are also offering the Homestars Founder Pack, Cosmic Founder Pack and Warrior Founder Pack. Supporting HyperBrawl Tournament through DLC is a big part of what Milky Tea has planned for providing our community with content to continue their journey across the stars. For a full breakdown of the DLC packs please see below. Homestars Founder Pack: Take Earth’s greatest heroes to the next level with this Legendary skin pack…
- The Internet loves HyperBrawl! - 7 November 2020
One of the best moments of being a game developer is finally letting your game loose into the big wide world, and hearing what the big wide world has to say about your game. You’ll never experience a bigger moment of both pure terror and excitement, as the project that you’ve spent the best part of 4 years, pouring your passion and pride into is experienced by other actual human beings! Luckily for us, it wasn’t quite as scary as we were led to believe, because folks have had nothing but great things to say about HyperBrawl! We’ve had our fair share of suggestions on how to improve from the community, but it’s amazing tosee it all come from a place of wanting HyperBrawl to be the absolute best it can be! We’re so appreciative of everyone who has gave us their support and comments on HyperBrawl, it keeps us going, it keeps us passionate, and it inspires us to keep improving the HyperBraw…

- HyperBrawl Tournament is out now! - 20 October 2020
HyperBrawl Tournament has officially launched! After 4 years of hard work, worry, determination and tears. We have finally launched our online multiplayer, arcade-style, sports brawler HyperBrawl Tournament has launched on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. There are no words to express how we are feeling today it's been a truly emotional 24 hours, there are tears, smiles, more work being done and also cakes.....like actually tons of HyperBrawl themed cake and it tastes amazing! Making a game is hard! Making a game is one of the hardest things that you can do, launching a game is even harder, launching a game on all major platforms is like walking through a minefield with one leg and to say we are so proud of the whole team would be an understatement. Milky Tea started off as a bunch of small developers with a passion for making games based in Liverpool and over the ye…

- Our Weekly Brawl - and a little tease for upcoming news! - 11 September 2020
Hi brawlers It's Friday, which means it's time for our weekly news recap. Here's what's been happening in the world of HyperBrawl - and a tease of what's to come! Weekly Brawl On this week's Weekly Brawl, I took on Milky Tea artist, Luke, and he - once again - may have proven too much of a challenge for me to overcome. He does have several years of practice on me, so that is and will remain my official excuse! Anyway, do check out the video below if you'd like to check out some brand new HyperBrawl gameplay while maybe weighing in on our discussions about the latest Xbox news as well as some games we've been playing. PAX Online is around the corner Not only is PAX Online 2020 right around the corner (it starts tomorrow), but we've also been lucky enough to be selected as one of only 20 games (out of 350 submissions) to be included in the PAX Indie Showcase! Not only does that give us a…
- An Important Development Update - 28 August 2020
Hi brawlers! This week we've got a few different things to share, so take a look below for all the latest from HyperBrawl. Release Date Update While we were extremely excited for our planned summer release, we've unfortunately had to make the difficult devision to delay the launch of HyperBrawl Tournament. With the ongoing pandemic and our team currently working completely remotely, meeting an already tight schedule to release the game on multiple platforms has not been easy, so we've had to delay the launch until fall 2020. We do apologise for any disappointment that may come of this, and thank you for your patience while we put the finishing touches on the game in order to deliver the best possible experience later this year. Please keep an eye on our channels for all the latest information. Our latest brawl Our delay might have pushed back the release of HyperBrawl, but it didn't pre…
- Check out our latest brawl feat. HyperBrawl's producer! - 21 August 2020
Hi brawlers K. A. from Milky Tea here. This week I took our brawl to Twitch, where I somehow managed to win some matches against HyperBrawl's producer, Kel. I'm not sure how it happened, but we've got video evidence - and you should totally give it a watch! Beyond me kicking some butt in the arena, I made the most of having Kel on the stream by talking about how HyperBrawl is coming along, some of our favourite things in the game - and even showing off some previously unseen character skins, among other things. There's a lot to take in, so grab some popcorn and enjoy! To be notified about our next live brawl, consider following us on Twitch right here. In case you missed it! Just in case you missed last week's brawl, where I took on - and totally lost to - our artist, Luke, you can watch that right here too. We discussed lore and more (it rhymes!), so you may even learn something new! I…
