Hey everyone, we just released a small update that fixed some issues introduced in 6.2. Here's the full details.
Update 16/4/2024 (6.2.1) :
After a bit of a delay, the latest updates are now available on the Huawei App Gallery. However, please note that due to some technical issues, we have had to disable all purchase offers from Huawei releases.
It is strongly recommended that if you are a Huawei user you should download the game from the Google Play Store if possible to ensure you have access to all features in the game.
Hey everyone,
It’s update time! This is a little lighter than some of our other updates as we’re hard at work on some BIG features. Check the 2024 Preview for more details!
6.2 covers a wide range of topics from brand new Fighters, to balance adjustments, and even a brand new stage! Here’s a quick rundown of what’s covered by these update notes:
2024 PREVIEW
As you may have seen on our socials, we’re already hard at work on some BIG things coming later this year! Be sure to read the 2024 Preview if you haven’t already to see what’s coming later this year, and beyond!
Minette is coming to Skullgirls Mobile as a Guest Star in 2024!
NEW MONTHLY FIGHTERS
As usual, we’re adding six brand new Fighters in this update! Each month a brand new Gold and Diamond Fighter will debut as monthly exclusives in Event Relics. The Gold Fighter will also be available on the All Access Track of the Backstage Pass as a guaranteed, final reward!
Although only two new Fighters will be released each month, if you want to try these Fighters out yourself before they appear in Event Relics, look for them on Recruitment Nodes in Parallel Realms. You may also run into all six of the upcoming Fighters in random battles dotted throughout the game.
If you manage to find them, take a screenshot and let us know on our socials!
As always, the new Diamond Fighters have additional visual flourish effects to make them shine!
PREVIOUS MONTHLY FIGHTERS ADDED TO RELICS
Previous Monthly Fighters will start to appear in regular Relics with this update!
The first batch are the Fighters added in 5.4: Red Rider, Blue Streak, Final Fang, Altar Ego, Psykid, and Starlight Rose. Look for these in all the usual places like the Cabinet of Curiosities, Premiere Relics, Character Relics, Elemental Relics, etc.
Going forward, there will be a constant influx of brand new monthly Fighters appearing in event Relics AND the return of older monthly Fighters in regular Relics in every major update!
NEW STAGE - HILGARD’S CASTLE (NIGHTMARE)
Hilgard’s Castle is Marie’s former home and is filled with memories. Some good, some bad… and some are the stuff of nightmares.
This twisted, alternate version of Hilgard’s Castle also comes with a brand new musical track: All That Endures. Keep an eye out on our socials and Youtube channel for when we upload the full track soon!
Arriving on this stage is a major event in Marie’s Story Mode in 2nd Encore on consoles and PC, so be sure to check it out when she launches in 2nd Encore on March 26th! (Check out that slick cross-promotion!)
This stage appears as a possible randomly selected stage in all modes, but you can also find it by playing Marie’s Daily Event on Master Difficulty.
PRIZE FIGHT STREAK RECOVERY
Losing your Prize Fight streak can be quite painful, so in 6.2 we’re streamlining it a bit! Now the first time you lose your streak in each event you will always get one free streak restore to get you right back into the game.
After you’ve used up your free streak restore, you’ll be able to spend Theonite to restore your streak as before. However in 6.2 we have drastically reduced the cost, and they no longer scale with your current streak. You’ll pay the same small fixed amount of Theonite to restore a streak whether you’re at 10 Wins or at 100 Wins.
Theonite streak restoration has varying costs depending on the mode you’re playing. Here’s a breakdown:
25 Theonite Restore - High Stakes Events
10 Theonite Restore - Beginner Events and Currency / Material Collecting Events
RIFT BALANCE TUNING
There was a pretty major Catalyst rebalancing back in 6.1, and - after reviewing player feedback - we’ve made some further adjustments to a few overperforming Catalysts.
Thank you to all the dedicated Rifters who gave feedback, and be sure to let us know of any other suggestions you have as we continue to refine content for mode!
6.2 LAUNCH CELEBRATION
To celebrate the launch of 6.2, we’ve scheduled some special events so you can earn lots of extra goodies! Check them out:
When you log into 6.2 for the first time there will be a free gift waiting for you, including a special exclusive Avatar!
Parallel Realms will be reset every day until Monday April 1st to allow you to earn lots of rewards. This could also be a good chance to try completing that Clear No Mercy 10 Times Accolade!
Medici Prize Fights will also be available every 48 hours until Monday April 1st.
ECONOMY UPDATES
RESURRECTION RELIC SHARDS
With Marie’s new release period coming to an end, so too will Wishful Premiere Relics. Here are all the changes that come along with that:
EVENT RELIC DAILY PASSES
Looking for more ways to get Monthly Event Relics? These new Daily Passes might be exactly what you need!
Once purchased you will immediately get one Monthly Event Relic. Every day after that for 5 days you will receive another Monthly Event Relic for a total of 6 Relics. As with all Daily Passes, you need to log in on each of the 5 Days to collect the Relics.
The first of these Daily Passes will be for Blossom Relics, available starting April 1st!

FACEBOOK ISSUES
For the last few weeks there was a serious issue that prevented Facebook users from entering the game. This took much longer to resolve than we would normally like, but unfortunately, our hands were tied as we waited for Facebook to review our case. Eventually, we were able to get Facebook logins enabled again but the fact that many players were unable to access the game for 24 days is unacceptable. Thank you all for your patience while we dealt with these issues.
After the Maintenance for 6.2 concludes there will be some compensation rewards waiting for everyone.
EVERYONE in the game will receive the following compensation bundle as a general thank you for your patience:
We STRONGLY recommend that everyone make sure they have more than one kind of login binding on their accounts to ensure they can always access Skullgirls Mobile, even in situations like this where Facebook was completely unavailable.
The 'Email' option is the safest and most reliable login method to have on your account.
To add additional bindings to your account, open the Settings from the main menu and start adding some logins!
That’s all for today! We love getting feedback on all things Skullgirls, so don’t be shy about leaving us a comment here or on our social media pages.
If you have any questions, let us know down below!
Thanks so much as always for all your support!
Update 16/4/2024 (6.2.1) :
- Fixed an issue where the game could freeze or slow down on the Social Hub.

- Fixed an issue where some Fighters could have their sprites appear visually corrupted or glitchy.

ECONOMY UPDATES
RESURRECTION RELIC SHARDS
With Marie’s new release period coming to an end, so too will Wishful Premiere Relics. Here are all the changes that come along with that:
