The rise of Judgeball
It's a great day for Codename: Judgement and everyone here at Wild Bishop. We are pleased to announce that we took another huge step forward, bringing us closer to the release of our beta-testing phase. Codename: Judgement becomes Judgeball: Lethal Arena.

The name of our game is important to us. With our community growing and new players joining our playtest, we wanted to have a new name that would better suit the experience Judgeball has to offer. Judgeball: Lethal Arena sounded perfect straight away. Our game is a sport game packed with brutal action.

We also wanted to take our new identity one step forward by bringing to you a new arena and a better UI. The new UI is aimed to be graphically more advanced while bringing a better experience to all the players.

The new arena is a major step forward and took a huge load of work from our art team. We are very proud of revealing it to you as of today. Our artistic director, Didier Jaba Mathieu (formerly credited in movies such as Iron Man, Star Wars or Transformers) worked relentlessly on creating a more immersive arena. Thanks to the amazing teamwork of Wild Bishop's staff we were able to bring this update in less than a month.

This patch also bring further improvements. All of these are documented in our "Update 0.4.3 Patch Note".

From all of us here at Wild Bishop, thank your for playing Judgeball: Lethal Arena, we hope that you are all as excited as we are with our new game identity and arena !

See you soon in the arena !

Announcing AI!
We are super excited to announce that Codename: Judgement now has AI players! Want to get on the pitch but don't have enough team members on the benches? We've got you covered!

How it works: Usually, a match will have 6 players, but if this isn't possible the game will fill empty slots with AI players after a minute wait. So... if your game takes a little while to find a match, don't panic!

As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts - Let us know on Discord!

We have had reports of some players finding issues such as:
- during tutorial, ball gets stuck & cant be retrieved
- NPCs sometimes disappearing during the tutorial
- occasional issues with logging in
... If any of this affects you, please try the age-old wisdom of turning it off and on again ;)
