Brawl Stars past Brawl Talk video introduced a lot of cool new Skins, Brawlers, and Game Modes like 5v5. Even though that's going to be a part of the game soon, this 204 MB patch still doesn't include those features. However, things are looking different already with the removal of the Chromatic Credits, plus you can't redeem past Brawl Pass rewards--they sent a notification to your inbox as we show below, so be sure to check it.

If you had Chroma Credits to claim and use, they were converted to Regular Credits now at a x1.85 ratio. This also removed the Chromatic Brawler rarity, changing them as follows:

  • Epic: Gale, Colette, Ash, Lola, Sam, Mandy, Maisie and Pearl
  • Mythic: Lou, Ruffs, Buzz, Fang, Eve, Janet, Otis, Buster, R-T and Charlie
  • Legendary: Cordelius and Surge

If you want to read more about this, don't forget to read the changelog for the Starrtoon Patch. You will also find information on the Brawl Pass, which now will be released monthly, as well as a shorter duration compared to the previous one. The developer also modified how it looks and changed the name of Tokens to XP. This only a name change, so don't worry too much about that.
