Axie Infinity Season 20 Balancing Period

In a recent announcement by Axie Infinity devs, a balance patch will go live on January 17, 2022.

This balance update is quite different from previous ones. Usually, these patches are launched together with the start of a season.

But this latest update however is released weeks before Season 20 starts.

This allows more time for play-testing and more room to introduce hot-fixes.

Season 20 is expected to launch in February 2022, and until then, the devs may introduce additional minor updates.

This ensures that by the time Season 20 is launched, all cards and builds will be properly balanced.
