Iron Vanguard and Ember Court both came through the group stage undefeated, and they could not play the game more differently.

Every strike in Game of Canvas resolves in under a tenth of a second. Getting there took two years and a great deal of deleting.

Forty players, three days, and a score that had to work at every intensity a match can reach.

Nine new warrior skins arrive with season two, all of them earned through play rather than bought.

The Vanguard has been the most picked class in ranked play for six weeks running. Patch 1.4 brings its opening pressure back in line without touching the way it feels to play.

Game of Canvas is now available to pre-order on PlayStation 5, Xbox, Steam and Nintendo Switch, with the Deluxe and Ultimate editions carrying the season one skin sets.
