This is the full text of Fortyseven.com's 18/1/2017 press release.

Today, Super Evil Megacorp released Update 2.1 for Vainglory, the MOBA built for the touchscreen generation.

Be sure to check out the beta for the all-new Blitz Mode, Vainglory’s first five-minute gameplay format, and The Epic Mystery Chest, which offers players the opportunity to get any hero or skin in the market. Information on the update can be found below and at the Vainglory blog here and assets can be downloaded here. An overview video of Update 2.1 can be found here.
 

Update includes:

• Blitz Mode Beta - a new gameplay format for Vainglory’s first five-minute sessions. Blitz is the first mode in Vainglory to have a countdown timer and a definitive end. Players either reach 15 points or run out of time, so gameplay is incredibly fun and fast for all.

• The Epic Mystery Chest - offers players the opportunity to get any hero or skin in the Market — including all the Special Edition skins that usually require massive amounts of Opals. The Mystery Chest already in the game will be renamed to the Rare Mystery Chest.

• Vainglory Supporter Badge - players will receive this if they’ve bought ICE in the past 30 days. There will see a new signifier on the VS screen of every match to showcase the badge

• New Hero Skins - with this update the new “Wuxia” Ozo (rare) skin and “Gladiator” Lance (Epic) are now available.

• Lunar New Year Map - to celebrate the Lunar New Year, the Halcyon Fold has turned festive. There will be red paper lanterns, fireworks and golden statues to ring in the Year of the Rooster.

• Gameplay changes - additional changes have been made to the Halcyon Fold, hero bounties, crystal minor updates, skin preferences and hero and item balancing.
