Mojo Melee Summer ’23 Roadmap
June — August, 2023 Roadmap Update
Since we launched the open beta of Mojo Melee a couple weeks ago, we have seen a tremendous amount of players playing the game, giving us feedback and of course asking questions! This article will aim to provide some answers & context of where the game is headed over the next few months. It will also cover our plan for SEASONS which many have asked about.
Please keep in mind that all plans and features in this article are subject to change. These are our plans and goals to hit. Developing games is hard and sometimes adding features takes longer than planned.
In addition to the below, we have some very exciting announcements coming up! We’re super excited to share soon!
JUNE
We plan to launch our first official “Season 0” June 1!
The season will last 30 days. This version will have several new features that did not make it into the first beta release. This will be our first full test season, and we then plan to continue on a regular 30 day pattern. Each Season will feature a new Champion, SpellStones and more! Each Season will also reset a player’s BattlePass Points and Rank, the latter dropping 3 Rank levels for each player.
Season 0 New Features:
- Premium BattlePass featuring a new Champion!
- Beta Chest Rewards! — Open your Beta Chests in-game!
- Chat on Home Screen

- Champions — convert older Champions to 3D Digital Collectibles (post release)

FAQ
Q: Is it possible to transfer XP from one champion to another? Will this function be available in the future?
A: Yes, this is coming soon. You will have a choice of what Champion gets the XP.
Q: What is the purpose of having more than one of the same Digital Collectible (NFT)?
A: Owning more Digital Collectibles increases your Collection Tier, giving you access to more Rewards in game through Premium Quests, which are coming soon. In addition, you also will be able to use them in our future games, including Land play. Once we add writing Stats and Levels to DCs, owning more than one gives you the ability to sell characters you have leveled up to other players.
Q: If I use a Digital Collectible (at level 20) and sell it to another user, will the purchaser get it at the same level (Level 20)? If so, how will the users know which level this specific DC has?
A: This feature is coming very soon. You will see the Level in the Digital Collectible’s metadata.
Q: I am a new player with a low Rank but I am being matched up against higher ranking players. Will there be a Ranked Matchmaking system?
A: We do have Ranked Matchmaking now, however as we are in beta and sometimes have low numbers of players online playing, this can happen. Once we grow our user base grows this should be much rarer.
Q: What about rank advancement? When will it be reset for users who have already completed all rank progress? What is the schedule for rank advancement? Will it be done on a monthly basis?
A: Yes! Please read above! BattlePass Points and Rank get reset each month (rank only moves down 3 notches)
Q: Do we get to keep the SpellStones purchased or earned?
A: You do get to keep them. They are currently off-chain items and thus not Digital Collectibles.
Q: I picked a Mojo that ended up being a bad choice for the current meta. When will I unlock more Mojos?
A: Players are able to earn another Mojo in Trophy Progression. Earn enough Trophies in Duel matches to unlock a new Mojo. In addition, it’s important to note that all the default Mojos should be equally balanced.
Q: I keep playing 8v8’s but I’m not getting any Trophies?
A: Melee matches (8v8) do not award Trophies. Trophies can only be earned by playing Duel Matches. To see a Rewards Breakdown, click on the ? Icon next to “Start Match” in the Main Menu. You will see it above the Duel and Melee buttons.
