One queue brings together four PvP modes, with combat changes that help newcomers compete with veterans
HAMBURG, Germany (September 22, 2026) | Today, developer and publisher gamigo launched Trove: Rematch, a PvP overhaul for its voxel-based sandbox action MMORPG Trove, bringing four modes into one matchmaking queue, rebalanced combat, and new rewards to earn.
For years, Trove’s PvP centered on Bomber Royale. With the latest update, players can queue for Capture the Flag, Bomber Royale, Deathmatch, and Team Deathmatch at the touch of a button, with matches ranging from 2v2 to 5v5. The update also gives players a fresh start on Battle Level. As players raise their Battle Level, they increase their battle factor, allowing them to earn more Battle Mode Boxes each week.

Updated matchmaking lets players join matches that are forming, including during the pre-match countdown. Teams automatically rebalance as players join to help keep team sizes even.
Combat has been rebalanced so newer players have a better chance against well-equipped opponents. Stronger gear still helps, but each additional point of power adds a smaller benefit, and stats are capped. This gives players more room to win through teamwork and tactics.
Trove PvP Update Key Features
- Four Modes, One Button: Queue for Capture the Flag, Bomber Royale, Deathmatch, and Team Deathmatch at the touch of a button.
- Improved Matchmaking: Join forming matches, including during the pre-match countdown, with automatic team balancing as players join.
- Rebalanced Combat: Adjusted gear scaling helps newcomers compete with veterans. Stronger gear still offers an advantage, but teamwork and tactics can help players overcome it.
- New PvP-Exclusive Rewards: Earn Auras by leveling up your Battle Level, and craft Wings, Allies, and more using Battle Coins earned from completing PvP matches.
- New Cornerstone Options: Purchase a Jukebox and Biome Projector to customize the music and visual atmosphere in your cornerstone.
Existing reward tracks remain available. Every day, players can earn a bonus reward if they participate in a PvP match, and additional Battle Mode Boxes containing limited-duration, PvP-only banners for additional matches they play! The PvP progression track also has 50 levels to unlock, which unlock new auras: Unceasing Wrath, Silent Wrath, Aurelian Zenith, and Aurelian Crown.
Trove is available on Windows PC through Steam and the official website, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It can also be played on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility.
