Brawlhalla Esports announced details for its upcoming Year Seven season on Tuesday. The circuit will notably feature a $1.32 million prize pool across all events. In comparison, the 2021 Smash World Tour launched with a $210,000 prize pool across all events.
The 2019 Brawlhalla circuit featured $500,000 in prizes before making a jump to $1 million in 2021. Although 2022 will bring a smaller increase, Year Seven still boasts the largest prize pool in Brawlhalla Esports history.
Unlike many other platform fighters, Brawlhalla is free to play. The game features a weekly rotation of nine playable characters that players can select for free. Competitors can permanently unlock the game’s 54 playable characters using Brawlhalla’s in-game currency, Gold, or real-world money. Likewise, players can acquire unique skins, knockout effects, emotes and other in-game effects using Mammoth Coins, which they can only purchase with actual money.
