On September 1, 2026, Brawler Blast replaces Starr Road in Brawl Stars, two days before the official start of Season 54, Royal Academy. Cosmo, the season's new Mythic brawler, is not playable yet: his arrival is announced for the week of September 8. > **Update, October 26, 2026:** Season 54 ended on October 1 and Season 55 Brawl-O-Ween took over.

Its Brawl Pass offers two collections of Epic skins, with the Royalty player title: - **Hank:** Head Coach Hank, Trainer Hank and Team Captain Hank (chroma variants). - **Nani:** Principal Nani, Head Teacher Nani and Queen Nani (chroma variants). ![Brawl Stars: official App Store promotional screen about upgrading and customizing brawlers](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/brawl-stars-saison-54-royal-academy-cosmo-brawler-blast-2026/screenshot-1.webp) ## Brawler Blast: a shooting gallery in place of Starr Road According to Supercell's release notes, Brawler Blast keeps Credits as the currency and leaves the cost per rarity unchanged: 160 Credits for a Rare, 925 for an Epic, **1,900 for a Mythic**, 3,800 for a Legendary. Instead of choosing a route, you start a shooting gallery: up to 10 unowned brawlers of the current rarity fill it, you knock the targets down, and the last brawler standing is the one you unlock. During the shoot, 1 to 4 **Gem Fragments** can show up. Once you get the brawler, they convert into progression: power levels, a gadget, a Star Power, a Hypercharge or a Buffie. There is also a 50% chance of being able to choose between several brawlers. ![Brawl Stars: official App Store promotional screen about creating maps](https://after-strategy.com/images/articles/brawl-stars-saison-54-royal-academy-cosmo-brawler-blast-2026/screenshot-2.webp) According to LDShop, the system launches on September 1, before the season starts. In practice, you no longer aim at a specific brawler, but you gain a progression bonus on the one that drops. The Starr Road and Fame buttons leave the home screen, and both Brawler Blast and Fame now live in the brawler collection. ## Cosmo: a Mythic Controller Cosmo is a Mythic Controller. His attack, Orbit, sends three projectiles that circle outward: they spread apart as they travel, growing and gaining damage. His Super, Gravitational Pull, sticks a magnet to an enemy, and his teammates' shots then home in strongly on that target. His gadgets are Planetary Pushback, which knocks enemies back from an area, and Telescope Trap, which reveals an area for 6 seconds. According to TimeSaver and esports.gg, he is announced for the week of September 8, with no confirmed exact date. What matters: Cosmo only pays off if the team shoots the marked target, so he mostly shines in a group. ## Duolingo and what comes next Supercell also announces a collaboration with Duolingo, with a boss fight and a community event over two weeks. According to LDShop, the community part starts around September 19. The next brawler, Vince, arrives with Brawl-O-Ween. ## Going further - [All our Brawl Stars articles](https://after-strategy.com/en/jeux/brawl-stars/) - [Season 53 Windstock: Wendy and Fusions](https://after-strategy.com/en/brawl-stars-season-53-windstock-wendy-fusions-2026/) - [Season 55 Brawl-O-Ween: Vince and Gus](https://after-strategy.com/en/brawl-stars-season-55-brawl-o-ween-vince-gus-2026/) ## Frequently asked questions ### When does Brawl Stars Season 54 Royal Academy run?
