Alongside the infinitisation and graphical overhaul that's coming to Robocraft with the planned Infinity Update, the team have also given Campaign Mode some love, with new Campaigns to play, game modes and improvements.

Tiered Campaigns
Campaigns have been tweaked so they're specific to a Tier. This means that alongside any other Campaign restrictions that are in place, your Robot must fit within a required Tier. Previous cube restrictions in both Target Practice and Mask Raid Campaigns have been lifted.
New Game Modes
The Infinity Update will introduce two new game modes to Campaign - Survival and Blitz.
- Survival - As the name suggests, you need to survive an ever-increasing horde of enemies until the timer hits zero.
- Blitz - This is a variation on the existing Elimination mode; only this time you have to destroy all the enemies within a time limit.
Two New Campaigns
We've created two new Campaigns for the Infinity Update for you to master; a T3 Survival mode Campaign called Food Fight and a T4 Blitz mode Campaign called Dino Dash. See the Campaign details are below.
Other Improvements to Campaign Mode
We'll be adding a number of improvements to Campaign Mode; check out the list below:
- Campaign Mode now supports multiple Robot types in a single wave
- Continuous spawning in a wave now supported
- The current Target Practice Campaign will be changed to a T1 Campaign where only T1 Robots are permitted to enter. Other restrictions have been lifted for this Campaign
- The Mask Raid Campaign will become a T2 Robot only Campaign. Other Campaign restrictions have been lifted
- Enemy robots now spawn in after the wave start countdown has ended
- In Campaigns where there is only one Boss, their health bar will be clearly displayed on-screen (see screenshot below)
Why the Infinity Update?
As developers we want to be able to deliver more cool content and fabulous features to you faster, but as were currently split between three very different versions of Robocraft (RC Steam/Launcher, RC Infinity on Xbox One and the F2P Robocraft Infinity in China (co-developed with Tencent)) its incredibly difficult for a small indie to deliver on that. So with the Infinity Update, we will be bringing all the good stuff from the Chinese version to the Steam version. This parity between the versions will allow us to deliver more new features, improvements, bug fixes and content faster.
The Infinity Update is scheduled for release in November and is Robocraft's single biggest update. As such, players should expect some issues on launch day. By working with us and reporting issues and bugs through our support system, we can fix them as quickly as possible.
Thanks as always for your continued patience and support.
