What’s going on MonkeyFans?! Coming off the MonkeyLeague Alpha Version launch, we’re running toward the goal of a significant Alpha update and have a lot of exciting features and updates to share! Updates that change the game experience significantly!
Our next release features QOL (Quality of Life) fixes, core updates, and special AC Milan goodies to get everyone in the zone and ready to play! Participants should have already received an email in their inbox to complete the Alpha onboarding process!
See you all on June 5th!
Check out the release notes for the AC Milan Alpha Version:
NEW — Drag & Hold Mechanic
No more tapping multiple times to perform Actions! To execute a pass, kick, or other action, simply select your MonkeyAthlete, drag your finger to the desired location on the pitch, and hold to choose how intense the move will be!
Play wisely, the more intense an Action is, the higher the chance of a foul being called!
This not only helps with the game flow, pace, and gameplay momentum but will also add a more realistic and strategic way to play MonkeyLeague!
UPDATE — Improved AI
As we know, the MonkeyAI in MonkeyLeague can be quite the opponent! We’ve beefed up and updated the AI and made them more capable of calculating when to cut off attacks, initiate tackles, and even when to strategize and plan passes depending on where they’re located on the pitch!
We’ve also fixed a previously experienced issue with repetitive movements happening between AI MonkeyAthletes when passing between each other.
UPDATE / NEW — Visual Elements
The visual effects of this version are getting an upgrade! In addition to updating the tiles on the pitch to be more visible when actions are available, new elements such as the Intensity Gauge and Action Path for the swipe mechanic have been implemented.
The Top Bar and Turn Indicator have also been updated! Now, the remaining turns for each team can be viewed instead of the overall cumulative number of turns remaining in a match — making it a smoother user experience.
As we know MonkeyAthletes come with 4 core game skills (Passing, Accuracy, Control, and Defense), and initial stat levels and max potentials for each. Upgrading your MonkeyAthletes’ skill levels will be done through match play. Now, when playing, you can see the exact skill level point of the Monkey selected — allowing you to see the strength and friction levels of the MonkeyAthletes in play.
NEW — Stadium Field
What’s a great game without a field to play it on and a stadium to play it in? Multi-field support is being implemented to lay the groundwork for future stadiums and visual changes to Leagues and pitches.
To kick things off, an all-new AC Milan-themed stadium will be available to play in during the Alpha release!
NEW — Sound & Loading Screens
More sound effects have been added to actionable skills and the environment to further immerse players in the MonkeyLeague experience!
The game screens have also received a facelift. New loading screens can now be seen when transitioning from the Login screen to the Lobby, and from the Lobby to the Field when preparing to enter a match.

We can’t wait to see you all on the pitch on June 5th!
Talk to you soon, MonkeyFans!
