The Castle Map pack is just around the corner meaning quite a big matchmaking update is due. Coinciding with the map pack release is also the Competitive Skill Rank system, showing your true skill to the whole world. This week’s bulletin covers the release schedule for Castle content including the Achievements dropped Tuesday along with the upcoming introductory map videos and Sunday’s live stream.
