As previously announced, Clan Wars is getting a refresh! This refresh will go live with the next season of Clan Wars, season 56. This blog post describes how the refresh will go live, and important information that clan wars players need to know for the transition.
Claim your Rewards ASAP
EDIT: Disregard this section. I found a way to keep old clan rewards claimable.
It’s important that all players claim their in-season rewards before the next Warzone update goes live. After the next update, in-season rewards earned prior to the update will not be claimable anymore. If you claim an in-season reward before the update, it will still apply for its full two weeks even after updating, so just be sure to click the claim button before Season 55 ends or immediately after it ends.
The reason for this is due to a change in the way that in-season rewards are tracked. Today, rewards are tied to a specific territory earned on the clan war map, but starting with season 56, in-season rewards will instead be given out based on the number of wins that the clan members get during the season. Because of this, they’re tracked differently in the database, and therefore old rewards won’t be carried forward into the new rewards.
This doesn’t apply to end-of-season rewards, which will remain claimable even after the update. So you don’t have to worry about those.
Season 55 is shortened
To help expediate the arrival of the new clan wars system, clan wars season 55 will require fewer wins per territory awarded on the map. Since the season ends when the map fills up, giving out territories faster will help the season end more quickly. This is a temporary change just for 55, and we’ll revert back to the normal pace for season 56.
Short break between seasons
Season 56 is planned to begin at midnight GMT, hopefully the day following the end of season 55. Because of this, there may be a period between seasons where no timeslots will be created. Just be aware that, if you don’t see a timeslot where you expect one, it’s only temporary. Once season 56 starts, all timeslots will be created on the same schedule as they are today.
That’s all!
Once the new update goes live, there will be a blog post describing all the details about everything that changed. I hope you’re as excited as I am — see you on the battlefield!
