Heading to Early Access on September 20, Battlerite echoes its source material as “an action-packed Team Arena Brawler focused on highly competitive PvP combat,” so says its official blurb. In 2v2 and 3v3 battles, you’ll fight alongside teammates in bouts running up to 15 minutes, where you can “select rites to unlock powers to strategically customize your playstyle.”
The blurb continues: “It doesn't matter if you are a veteran or a rookie on a rampage, all champions have the same fighting chance.
