Almost a year later than initially planned, we finally have news about the highly anticipated Blox Fruits Dragon Update! Below, you'll find all the details revealed so far, including the release date (or lack thereof!), exciting reworks, and more.
Everything in the Blox Fruits Dragon Update
While we've only seen glimpses, the Blox Fruits Dragon Update promises to be huge! The most striking change is a complete graphical overhaul. From the islands themselves to character models and animations, the game's visual presentation is getting a significant upgrade.
Several Third Sea islands have undergone extensive revamps, featuring updated textures, buildings, models, and entirely new structures. These reworked islands include:
- Port Town
- Great Tree
- Hydra Island
Addressing long-standing performance issues on mobile and console, the Dragon Update includes a dedicated performance boost. The older game engine couldn't utilize newer Roblox performance tools, hindering optimization. This update changes that, aiming to deliver a smooth, lag-free experience for all players regardless of their device.
Gameplay improvements are also abundant. The NPC quest indicator boasts a fresh visual design, and NPCs now feature idle animations, adding a more dynamic feel to the world. Chests have received visual and animation overhauls, enhancing their interactive elements.
Combat has seen several refinements. Guns will now be visibly equipped on player characters, a feature previously absent. All in-game guns benefit from visual and gameplay enhancements.
Mobs have received a significant upgrade. They now feature knockback and stun animations, a stark improvement over the previous single animation. Hit detection is clearer with enemies glowing red upon impact (mirroring the player's hit feedback). Observation Haki also boasts updated visuals and sound effects.
A new Ability HUD is being introduced, clearly displaying ability cooldowns. This change will be especially helpful for players who rely on visual cues to manage their abilities effectively.
When is the Blox Fruits Dragon Update Coming?
Unfortunately, there's no official release date for the Blox Fruits Dragon Update yet. However, the fact that official content is being released suggests it's imminent.
The first trailer, showcasing the new guns, is scheduled to drop sometime before December 1st, 2024. Subsequent trailers will delve deeper into the update's content, so keep an eye out!
