Axie Infinity entered into maintenance for the deployment of the off-season patch. There will be two phases to this update, as the changes are significant. The first part will be launched on the 23rd of November, while the other aspect will involve various card and rune/charm balancing changes.

- Energy Burst – a new mechanic, will be introduced to gameplay. This power-up enables players to outpace their rivals. However, they must use it at the appropriate time.

- There will be new VFX and animations to accompany the crafting process.
- Many other in-game elements will now feature animations to ensure a more immersive experience.
