FragPunk Season 2: Rising Tempest

FragPunk Season 2, titled Rising Tempest, is coming out soon with the addition of a new Lancer, new maps, and revolutionary game mode updates.

FragPunk is a unique free-to-play 5v5 hero shooter featuring a unique Shard Cards system, which allows you to break the rules of combat and ensure that no two rounds are ever the same.

The game launched worldwide on March 6, 2025, with tons of content. The game received a positive response from players worldwide. Moving on from Season 1, Bad Guitar Studios is finally adding a Season 2 update for the game with new maps, a new lancer, and a truckload of game mode updates.

FragPunk Season 2 Update Overview

FragPunk Season 2: Rising Tempest is coming out on June 26, 2025. It is the first major update since the game's official worldwide launch. The new update features the game's newest Lancer Hurricane, 2 new maps with new features, and around 50 shard cards. Here's a more detailed look at what you can expect to see in the update:

New Lancer: Hurricane

Hurricane is Acme's first polar bear Lancer. The new Lancer got his abilities from a storm, so we can expect to see a new set of powers that draws inspiration from storms. NetEase Games is yet to release the ability set of Hurricane.

2 New Maps Forged in Chaos

The new season brings 2 brand new battlefields tailored to flagship modes to amplify the chaos:

Itzamna: The Sky-Port Shard Clash Arena

Soar above the clouds in FragPunk’s first aerial combat arena. Itzamna redefines verticality with its floating sky-port architecture, where crumbling celestial docks and suspended walkways hover amidst raging storms. A new zipline device allows players to select flexible routes during gameplay, adding an exciting layer of strategy.

Xibalba: The Rainforest Outbreak Mode Complex

Descend into a decaying bio-jungle prison where survival hinges on instinct. Xibalba merges claustrophobic Mesoamerican ruins with suffocating rainforest overgrowth, creating FragPunk’s most complex Outbreak ground. The maze-like routes enhance the chase-and-defend experience for both teams, emphasising dynamic gameplay like never before.

Chaotic New Shard Cards Unveiled

In the coming Season 2, a total of around 50 New Shard Cards are joining the battlefield in Season 2 throughout the chapter with a frequency of bi-weekly updates. Some of the new Shard Cards include:

  • Rigged Duels: One player per team enters the duel arena early.
  • Blind Fire Healing: Enemy bullets that graze you restore 3 HP.
  • Converter Thievery: Defenders can now seize and relocate the converter.

To enhance player experience, the team has carefully considered player feedback and decided to introduce several new mechanisms to the card pool system. This update includes the new themed card pools such as "Shard Clash" and "Outbreak", which feature mode-specific abilities. 

To make sure players can experience the new content more easily, new cards will be injected into the pools every two weeks, accompanied by temporary drop-rate increases. Furthermore, regular card rotations will ensure a diverse and evolving meta.
