You can adjust the brightness in your gameplay settings all you want, but nothing can stop the darkness that has overcome the battlefield with the launch of our latest season!

(Please note: no actual darkness will be affecting your gameplay. This is just a metaphor. We’re heading into the Halloween season, so be prepared for a lot of this talk. We LOVE Halloween and can’t wait to show you everything we have coming…)
