This Battle Pass goes live on March 18, 2026. This update will also bring Miks, the new Controller Agent and the 29th playable character in the roster! Check out his abilities here.
A new Agent means new themed cosmetics. Check out Miks’ Agent Gear here, which you can all earn for free. This update also adds the Blackthorn bundle, which you can pick up from the shop.
