Keep track of the developer’s official channels when the time comes, and make your plans accordingly!
Upcoming Season 4 Features You May Have Missed
Angela has dominated headlines ever since her reveal, while that inevitable second wave of summer swimsuit skins is naturally making everyone forget what actually matters. Amidst all of this, NetEase buried some genuinely useful quality-of-life updates in the latest patch notes that deserve more attention than they’re getting.
“Friend Suggestions” might sound gimmicky, but this new feature will use algorithms to recommend “suitable friends” based on “your battle performance and preferred heroes” to find “compatible allies in-game.”
Translation: NetEase Games wants to play matchmaker for your ranked climbs. Whether this creates better team synergy or just more awkward friend requests remains to be seen.
Then there’s the new “Squad Voice Chat,” finally set to separate team comms from party chat, a feature so obviously missing that it’s embarrassing this took ten months post-launch to implement. Better late than never, as always.
PC players also gain “Slow Walk” support, ending controller players’ monopoly on those dramatic aura-farming clips. Console players just lost their only advantage over the PC master race (joking, of course), but now everyone can stride menacingly toward objectives.
Are you more excited for Angela’s aerial gameplay or those overlooked QoL improvements? And is that Invisible Woman summer skin a must-buy? Let us know in the comments below!
