Blue Mammoth Games is celebrating the success of the team's 2D fighter with a massive infographic including all kinds of cool bits of information on the game and its community. Brawlhalla launched back in 2015 and has provided a free-to-play battleground for over 20 million players on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. 

There have been over 800 million Brawlhalla matches and with 40,000 players joining daily, the Blue Mammoth crew is anticipating reaching one billion in May 2019. In 2018 alone, there were over 1.8 billion knockouts. Here's an excerpt from the message the team shared with fans at the bottom of the infographic, which also included a code for Brawlhalla content and the reveal that more codes are hidden in it:
