Heroes Battlegrounds
Heroes Battlegrounds: Full Throttle End Time, Countdown
Heroes Battlegrounds has two in-game events running at the same time, led by the Full Throttle rework — a rebuild of the game’s Jet Engine fighting style that also folds in a mastered version of the Explosion hero along with new limited-time emotes and cosmetics. Running beside it is a standalone Explosion hero mastery event, Explosion Murder God. Both went live on August 29, 2026.
The rework is the bigger draw of the two, drawing well over 170,000 interested players — several times the turnout of the mastery event next to it. That scale fits the experience overall: Heroes Battlegrounds keeps around about 36,000 fighters in matches at any given moment and has passed about 1,700,000,000 visits since launch, with more than about 1,600,000 players adding it to their favorites.
Below you’ll find each live event, what it includes, and when it ends, followed by the questions players are asking this week. Last updated August 30.

Current and upcoming events
Full Throttle rework
Full Throttle is a rework of the game’s Jet Engine fighting style, bundled with new limited-time emotes and cosmetics and the debut of the mastered Explosion hero. It went live on August 29, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET (4:00 PM PT / 11:00 PM UTC) and runs for one week, closing on September 5. With about 180,000 players marking interest, it is the headline event of the current cycle, and because its cosmetics and emotes are tied to the window, there’s about about 6 days left left to earn them.
Mastery Explosion Hero: Explosion Murder God
This event unlocks the mastered version of the Explosion character, subtitled Explosion Murder God. It also started on August 29, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET, but it runs longer than the Full Throttle window, staying on the calendar through September 14. Its interest sits well below the rework’s — about 43,000 players so far — but the longer run gives players more time to grind out the unlock.
