The Battle of Polytopia Brings a New Game Mode Called Weekly Challenges

The Battle of Polytopia has just upped the ante with the exciting addition of Weekly Challenges! This new competitive mode injects a fresh dose of strategic gameplay into this beloved 4X strategy game.

From Randomness to Rigorous Competition

Polytopia is known for its unpredictable nature—shifting enemies, fluctuating resources, and ever-changing maps. The new free update, however, introduces a structured competitive element. Each week, all players face the same map, the same tribe, and identical starting conditions. The goal? Achieve the highest score within 20 turns. Players get one attempt per day, allowing for a maximum of seven attempts per week.

This innovative feature lets you experience tribes you may not own. The game boasts 16 tribes—four included in the base game and twelve available for purchase. In Weekly Challenges, however, everyone plays as the same tribe, regardless of ownership.

Will Weekly Challenges Elevate Polytopia's Excitement?

Absolutely! This new mode also introduces a League system. Starting in the Entry League, players ascend (or descend) based on their weekly performance. The top third advances, the bottom third is relegated, and the middle remains in place. The difficulty scales with league progression, starting with Easy AI in Entry League and escalating to Crazy difficulty AI in Gold League. Skipping a week won't result in demotion, but your ranking will adjust based on other players' progress.

Download the game from the Google Play Store to experience this thrilling new feature. In the meantime, check out our latest news on hololive's first-ever global mobile game, Dreams.
