Plenty has changed with many of the game's mechanics being stripped back to how they were in the beginning. So, here is everything you need to know about the Realm Royale Reforged patch notes for August 2022.

Elsewhere, Hi-Rez has made changes to the way that Chests work. Class Chests are new and can be found throughout the Realm. They hold class-specific weapons and abilities and have a small chance to spawn Epic gear.

There have also been changes to the Circle zone size. A Circle Zone now appears as soon as you start a game of Realm Royale, which forces players together more quickly. In addition, players can now only queue for Solos and Trios. Duos and Squads have been removed from the game, but may be added back in later.

Here are the other minor changes that have arrived in the Realm Royale Reforged August update:

• The Talent system has been removed
• Legendary weapons may only be forged, taken from goblins, or found in Zeppelin Chests
