Vainglory update 2.1 brings new Blitz mode, new hero skins, gameplay changes

The folks over at Super Evil Megacorp don't look so evil, as the company behind the popular MOBA Vainglory has just announced a new update is now available on both the Android and iOS platforms.

After successfully releasing Vainglory 2.0 back in December, the developers are now fine-tuning some of the gameplay mechanics introduced __with the previous major update.

So, update 2.1 brings a couple of gameplay changes made to the Halcyon Fold, hero bounties, item and hero balancing, skin preferences, as well as some crystal miner updates. But that's not all, of course.

In order to celebrate the Lunar New Year, the Halcyon Fold has turned festive, so don't be shocked to see red paper lanterns, fireworks and golden statues decorating your base of operations.

More importantly, there's a new Blitz mode beta, which is a new gameplay mode for Vainglory's first five-minute sessions. According to developers, this is the game's first mode to have a countdown timer and a definitive end, as players either reach 15 points or run out of time.
