So, what's next for Destruction AllStars? The game has gotten off to a slightly wobbly start, with reception being lukewarm and a lack of meaningful content meaning players aren't necessarily sticking around. Of course, developer Lucid Games is doing everything it can to turn the ship around, and it sounds like it has big plans as the year goes on.
In a new PS Blog post, Lucid's George Rule explains what's on the roadmap for the game's future. Most exciting is that the studio will be bringing seasonal content to the game on a regular basis. Seasons will last a few months each, and aim to "permanently enhance" the experience and "leave long-lasting additions". For Season One, that means a competitive game mode called Blitz, a battle pass with a free and premium tier, and a brand new playable character. More details on all of these will be coming soon.
It looks like Season One will kick off in April and last through to July, and Seasons Two and Three will carry the game to December. It's encouraging that Lucid has a clear plan for the game, and that it's been so responsive to feedback thus far. We'll definitely check out any new content as it arrives.
In other news, a Digital Deluxe edition of the game will be hitting PlayStation Store on 6th April, when it's due to be removed from PS Plus. This special edition includes access to eight of the premium Challenge Series, 1100 Destruction Points, and a batch of in-game goodies.

Yes, the closing sentence was indeed inspired by my lunch
@Quintumply Amazing. On topic, this sounds like pretty decent support to be fair. I'll definitely check out the first season.
Lucid Games is trying to improve. I'm counting on it.
I'm curious how much revenue this game has made for Sony. It's never going to happen, but I'd like an estimated figure on how much of the microtransactions were purchased and how many people are playing daily.
No I am not still playing Destruction Allstars logged about 5 hours and that’s plenty for a lifetime
I played some last night but the LONG matchmaking times and costumes locked behind the secondary currency is draining the fun for me.
I’d still rather play Rocket League. Man I love that game. I’ve played more of that than any other game in history.
I'm still playing probably every other day but usually manage to find a match reasonably quickly. I just tried to get a quick game at lunch though and couldn't find a match on any of the modes but then it is during the day for Europe. It would be great if they added an option to be able to queue for multiple modes at once though as that would make it easier to get into a match.
Not sure I'd be in for the competitive sort of stuff as I've so far only won one solo game but if it's teams then that might make a difference.
Glad to see them supporting the game but it won't last long, the game is dying already in terms of player base, which is bad considering it was free
This sort of stuff is table stakes nowadays for multiplayer games. If you don't launch with a battle pass or meaningful progression systems, you're toast. Maybe they should have delayed it further to make sure this stuff was closer to launch.
I have a handful of friends who all got PS5s recently. None of us even remembered this exists.
@OmegaStriver rocket league or supersonic acrobatic rocket-powered-battle-cars are the most fun games of all time.
I still love it but haven't played in about a week.The waiting times for matching seem to be getting slower which is frustrating.Will definitely be checking in often though.
I've been playing this lately and enjoying it more than I expected.
Have this game but forgotten all about it. I played a few matches but it just didn't click with me.
On-Topic: I still haven't tried this game out yet, probably should before the playerbase starts dwindling after it leaves Plus in April.
@Quintumply Please tell me there was more to the sandwich than just bread and bacon?
A good sandwich has at least cheese and mustard, in my opinion.
