Season 8 Announcement Recap

New Gods

Tiamat and Gilgamesh are joining the battleground as part of the Babylonian pantheon. Tiamat will be a stance switcher who can summon creatures to help her. Gilgamesh is more than likely a warrior. Tiamat will be released in February and Gilgamesh will follow in April.

Season 8 Map

There’s a new season 8 map that will be shaped in Tiamat’s image. Duo and solo lane will receive a new camp: the scorpions. The totem will remain, however, the jungle shrine will be removed. The Greater Scorpion will spawn in the Gold Fury or Fire Giant locations. Once slain from the Gold Fury location, it will relocate somewhere else. This scorpion will increase the benefits from jungle buffs.

New Battle Pass

A new battle pass is coming and it features all goddesses! The battle pass will be cyberpunk themed and include skins for Aphrodite, Kali, Pele and Yemoja.

Ranked Rewards & Commendation

The skin ranked rewards were revealed for Season 7 AND Season 8! Midgardian Macaque Hun Batz is the Season 7 ranked reward skin and Crash Test Janus will be Season 8 reward! We finally have a commendation reward and it’s going to none other than Ganesha. The white and gold theme from the Baron commendation reward is back in Pure Heart Ganesha.

Future Skins & Reworks

Sobek will be receiving a visual update. There’s another god that will also receive a visual update this season, however, we don’t know who it is yet. Janus will receive some minor changes to his abilities while Persephone and Bastet will have reworks. Persephone will see a rework to decrease her frustration during pro-play while increasing her casual performance. Bastet will receive a new passive and ultimate.
