What's new: the Gods Vs. Monsters season

The current Brawl Pass season is Gods Vs. Monsters. Its headline is the returning Classic Brawl event (July 12–31, 2026) — a throwback to how Brawl Stars played back in 2019.

How Classic Brawl works

Classic Brawl rules

Brawlers are capped at level 9
No Hypercharges, Gadgets, or Gears
Only the first Star Power is available
Mega Boxes are back
Earn them from Star Tokens (first wins), Quests, and Challenges.

Classic game modes

Drum Roll — a free-for-all where you transform into a different Brawler with every takedown.
Mirror Match — everyone plays the same classic Brawler, rotated through 20 of the originals.

Worth playing this event? (recommendation)

If you started after 2019, Classic Brawl is the easiest way to feel the old game — and Mega Boxes make it worth logging in daily. That's a PlayerVault recommendation, not an official ranking.
