Overview
- Epic confirmed the v41.20 'Hot Bat Summer' update will introduce three new Sprites — Batman, Air, and Seven — and the update goes live during scheduled downtime on July 16, 2026.
- Air grants mobility bonuses by increasing sprint speed, raising jump height with each level, and nullifying fall damage when equipped.
- Seven gives squad-wide enemy foot trails that last longer as the Sprite levels up, from 10 seconds at level 1 to 30 seconds at max level.
- Batman is confirmed as a Mythic Sprite available in Gummy, Galaxy, Gold, and Holofoil variants, but Epic has not disclosed its in-match passive ability.
- Marketing footage revealed a new Cube Sprite variant added to the game files, though outlets note it is unclear if Cube Sprites will be obtainable at launch or enabled later, which could affect collectors and spawn rates in future 'New Sprite Day' events.
