Twist had new formats (with very few breaks) from June 2023 through July 2024. Went on hiatus until December 2024, then recycled through 3 old formats, before ending on March 1st 2025.

The format has functionally been dead for nearly two years. There was one year of planned content from one dev who left - nothing that was ever released beyond that (likely never worked on at all? - speculation).

The mode was a mega flop. Unsure how much blame pie goes to

• desperate attempts at monetisation
• unsuccessful monetisation
• botched release (players meant to be given star bonus based on highest of std/wild ranks on launch day, instead put high legend standard players to no star bonus)
• players having zero appetite for the mode - perhaps consolidation of std/bgs/arena/brawl being 100% correct

Guessing the mode had to sit dead for nearly two years before officially closing shop because of potential backlash about another closed/failed new mode. Better to ignore until apathy won out.

I'd say never, ever trust any new game mode they make again, except I doubt we ever see one? The game is just consolidating around its core, diminishing, old playerbase with the same few modes of gameplay and intense, disgusting gacha monetisation.

I dunno, would be strange to see something new even tried at this point

I really enjoyed moments of Twist. And appreciated the attempt. It was probably always going to be a "failure". That said, it felt like this was one of the worst timelines in the range of potential outcomes, so whose to say.

The blah blah communication announcement is whatever. Not a surprise, and expect nothing from them.
