Brawl Stars Summer 2025 Update Transforms Trophy Road with New Brawlers, Modes, and Progression System

Listeners, the latest Brawl Stars news reveals an ambitious wave of changes from Supercell with the Summer 2025 update, marking one of the biggest shakeups in the game's history as of late June and early July 2025. The central highlight is a complete rework of Trophy Road, now reimagined as a Starr Park-inspired theme park path. Rather than the old, linear system, listeners now progress through themed areas up to 100,000 trophies, unlocking zones such as Town Square and Retropolis. Along this road, the path to unlocking Brawlers, especially the Rare and Super Rare types, now exclusively runs through Trophy Road, and rewards throughout include Coins, Power Points, Starr Drops, new Hypercharge drops, and the Brawlers themselves[1][3].

In addition to the Trophy Road overhaul, a novel achievement system called Records replaces the former Masteries system. This new system allows listeners to document and showcase their milestones and in-game accomplishments in a more interactive and personalized manner, making progression feel more tangible and rewarding[1][4].

Two new Brawlers headline the character roster. The first is Alli, a Mythic Assassin hailing from Love Swamp. Alli specializes in hunting down weakened opponents, growing faster as enemies’ health drops. Her main attack, Swamp Swipe, lets her launch surprise strikes, and her Super, Stalker, renders her invisible and boosts her damage depending on how healthy the target is. Alli’s introduction is paired with a Hunter-Gatherer Alli skin[1][3][4].

The second addition is Trunk, an Epic Tank character controlled by an army of ants. Trunk’s main attack is a circular spin that grows in power the farther out it hits, and he releases ants during the spin. His Super allows him to charge forward and lay down an ant trail, which buffs teammate speed and defense while debuffing enemies caught in it. Trunk is slated for release in August, together with a Swimming Trunk skin[1][3].

This update also brings several new gameplay modes. Dodge Brawl is inspired by dodgeball, giving points for hitting enemy players with the ball. Knight Fight is a medieval-themed twist on Capture the Flag, challenging players to bring a Trophy back to their base without dropping it. Token Run is a sequence-driven mode reminiscent of UNO, where jumping is disabled while carrying certain tokens, adding strategic constraints to matches[3].

Nine new Hypercharge abilities expand the game’s power dynamics, and the summer will be packed with themed events and rewards, keeping the experience fresh for both veteran and new listeners[4]. This series of updates reflects Supercell’s ongoing commitment to evolving Brawl Stars with exciting content, innovative progression, and competitive gameplay that keeps the Brawl Stars community engaged throughout 2025[3][4].
