Brawl Stars April Update Brings Bug Fixes, Character Improvements, and Community Discussions for Battle Royale Game

Today in Brawl Stars news, Supercell released a significant balance update on April 30th, just two days ago, bringing numerous changes to the popular mobile game. The update coincides with the launch of the "Battle for Katana Kingdom" season, introducing buffs, nerfs, and bug fixes to multiple Brawlers[1].Among the technical improvements, several bugs have been addressed. Melodie has been restored to her correct height after experiencing a visual glitch. Players who own free max-level Brawlers in Ranked mode can now properly select their Gadgets. Penny's second projectile tracking has been fixed, and Lumi's basic attack no longer stalls with Quickfire modifiers[1].The update also resolved issues with Mega Pig rewards delivery and fixed Jae-yong's voiceover playback problems. Additionally, visual problems affecting Squeak, Nita, and Eve on certain low-end Android devices have been corrected[1].In other news, the Brawl Stars community has expressed dissatisfaction with recent title changes to characters in the game. As of May 1st, players have voiced concerns about how these modifications affect character identities and representation. Some community members have used humor to cope with their frustration, suggesting outlandish title alternatives for Brawlers. One player mentioned how Leon might soon receive the "Invisible" title, while others criticized changes like altering a character's designation from "Kunoichi" to "Ninja," arguing it removes important cultural nuances[3].Looking at Supercell's broader plans for Brawl Stars in 2025, the company previously announced they would continue featuring time-limited events and collaborations with other brands to attract new players and re-engage existing ones. However, they've acknowledged player requests for permanent features and quality of life improvements[4].The development team has committed to adding smaller permanent fixes and quality of life changes with every update throughout 2025, including performance improvements, bug elimination, and enhanced Brawler selection interfaces. Additionally, approximately every four months, they plan to either release a new major feature or rework existing ones that aren't performing well, such as Mega Pig[4].With these changes and updates, Supercell appears to be actively working to balance gameplay while addressing community feedback, ensuring Brawl Stars remains engaging for both new and veteran players alike.
