Hello Captains!

We want to thank everyone that helped by playing TFT: Galaxies on PBE, and giving us lots of feedback. We wanted to take a moment to talk about the “Galaxies” mechanic system, and give you an update based on how PBE went.

We put two Galaxies on PBE (Neekoverse and Purple Haze) as a trial run to see the impact they’d have and, more importantly, if they were fun. Overall, they’ve been doing well - they seem to be leading to higher variance in games, more interesting decisions to make, and some crazy (often hilarious) outcomes. We’ve also seen that some of you are pretty disappointed to play on a normal game, which is a good sign that you want the variant experiences that Galaxies will provide. We got a lot of great feedback from all of you based on this, and are going to be making some changes:

There will be zero Galaxies on patch 10.6. We will then launch the Galaxies mechanic in patch 10.7 (around two weeks after launch). We want one patch to get a hold on what the normal state of the game is, and give you a chance to dive into the new set first (especially for those that did not get a chance to play on PBE), so we will have one patch with no Galaxies.

The delay will give these a little bit more time to bake. We're still working out exactly how often they should show up (on PBE 80% of games were normal, 10% Neekoverse, and 10% Purple Haze), how many of them there should be, and how we make it super clear for you to know which Galaxy you’re in. We also want to launch with more than two active at the start, and are ramping up so we can add more at a quicker pace than we originally planned.

So, on patch 10.7 (some MIGHT bump to patch 10.8) here is what you will likely see:

• Neekoverse- Every player starts with two Neeko's helps.
• Lilac Nebula (previously Purple Haze)- Initial Carousel is all four cost champions.
• Trade Sector- The first reroll each round is free.
• Superdense Galaxy- Players receive a free Force of Nature on reaching level 5.
• Not So Little Legends- Little Legends have more starting health and are larger.
