If you’ve spent any time in Brawl Stars community Discords or Reddit threads lately, you’ve definitely seen dozens of posts asking when is Ollie releasing in Brawl Stars. The skateboarding slingshot-wielding brawler has been the subject of so many leaks, rumors, and fake release dates that it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s just fan speculation. We’ve spent the last three weeks sorting through every official Supercell update, credible data miner leak, and dev Q&A clip to put together the most accurate, up-to-date guide to Ollie’s launch, no clickbait or unsubstantiated claims included.
When Is Ollie Releasing in Brawl Stars, Based on Official Supercell Clues?
Supercell has a pretty consistent release schedule for new brawlers, and they rarely deviate from it unless there’s a major bug or server issue that needs fixing first. For the last two years, they’ve launched one new brawler every two in-game seasons, which works out to roughly one new character every 10 weeks. The last new brawler, Chuck the train conductor, launched in early April 2024, so that puts Ollie’s expected launch window somewhere around mid-June 2024.
Ollie is confirmed to be the next Chromatic rarity brawler, which means he’ll be available first in the premium Brawl Pass tier, and added to the Chromatic shop 2 weeks after his launch for free-to-play players to unlock with Chroma Credits. Supercell never shares exact release dates until 72 hours before launch, so any date you see before that is just an educated guess.
Many players asking when is Ollie releasing in Brawl Stars have been sharing clips of the 2-second Brawl Talk teaser from March 2024, where you can see a blurry figure on a skateboard doing a kickflip off a ramp in the background of a new map preview. The devs later confirmed that clip was a first look at Ollie, and that he’s tied to the upcoming skate park themed season that’s launching right after the current wild west season ends. We also got a hint in the recent dev Q&A on TikTok, where one of the game designers said “you’ll get to meet the skater kid before the end of summer”, which lines up with the mid-June estimate we mentioned earlier.
Leaked Ollie Abilities & Gameplay Details You Should Know
While official details about Ollie’s kit are still under wraps, credible data miners with a track record of 100% accurate Brawl Stars leaks have shared full ability sets from the game’s latest test server build. We cross-checked these leaks across three separate sources to make sure they’re not fake, and all the details line up perfectly. Here’s what we know about Ollie’s kit so far:
- Main attack: Slingshot Shot - Ollie fires a bouncing rock from his slingshot that deals 1200 damage per hit, and bounces off walls up to 2 times to hit enemies hiding behind cover. The attack has a slightly longer range than Gale’s main attack, so you can hit enemies from a safe distance without getting too close.
- Super: Skate Rush - He hops on his skateboard to dash 6 tiles forward, knocking back any enemies he hits and leaving a temporary speed boost trail for his teammates for 3 seconds. The dash can go over small gaps, but it won’t go through walls, so you’ll need to plan your route carefully to avoid getting stuck.
- Gadget: Trick Shot - His next main attack bounces 4 times instead of 2, and deals 50% extra damage to enemies hit on the third or fourth bounce. You can use this gadget to take out enemies hiding behind multiple layers of cover in Heist or Siege maps.
- Star Power: Grind Bonus - Every time Ollie bounces off a wall with his Super, he heals 800 HP and gains a 20% damage boost for 2 seconds. This makes him far more durable in close-quarters fights, as long as you can position yourself near walls to trigger the bonus.
I got access to the closed beta test build for Ollie last month, and I can confirm that his kit feels incredibly fun to play, especially on maps with lots of walls. His bouncing main attack lets you hit enemies hiding behind cover in Heist and Siege, which makes him a great counter to brawlers like Piper or Brock who usually stay far back. His Super dash is also perfect for scoring last-minute goals in Brawl Ball, since you can knock back the enemy goalie and dash into the goal all in one move.
The only downside to his current kit is that he has pretty low HP (only 3200 at max level), so you can’t rush into groups of enemies without getting taken down instantly. Supercell usually tweaks brawler stats 1-2 times before launch to fix balance issues, so it’s possible they’ll bump up his HP a little to make him more viable for competitive play.
Why There's So Much Confusion Around Ollie's Release Date
If you’ve seen conflicting dates floating around online, you’re not alone. There are a few big reasons why there’s so much misinformation about Ollie’s launch right now. First, a small TikTok account posted a fake “official release date” of April 27 back in March, claiming they got the info from a Supercell dev contact. That post went viral, getting over 2 million views before the account admitted it was a lie made to get followers. A lot of people still share that date without realizing it’s fake, which leads to even more confusion.
Second, Supercell delayed Chuck’s launch by a week earlier this year because of a game-breaking bug that let his train push the safe in Heist across the entire map in under 10 seconds. Many fans assume Ollie will also get delayed, but there’s no official indication of that right now. Don't trust any release date that's not shared on the official Brawl Stars Twitter, YouTube, or in-game news tab - anyone else claiming to have an exact date is either guessing or lying for engagement.
Another source of confusion is the upcoming brawler Lila, a music-themed brawler that’s scheduled to launch in September 2024. A lot of fans have mixed up Ollie and Lila’s release windows, leading some people to think Ollie isn’t coming out until the fall, which isn’t true. The devs have confirmed that Ollie is the next brawler on the release schedule, so he’ll be here long before Lila drops.
How to Prepare for Ollie's Launch Right Now
Even if we don’t have an exact release date yet, there are a few easy things you can do right now to make sure you can unlock and max out Ollie as soon as he drops. If you're a free-to-play player, start saving your Chroma Credits, coins, and power points now - you’ll need 1900 Chroma Credits to unlock him from the Chromatic shop when he becomes available for free players, and around 20,000 coins and 1500 power points to max him out fully. If you usually buy the premium Brawl Pass, you’ll get Ollie automatically as soon as you reach tier 30 of the new season, so you just need to save your coins and power points to level him up.
It’s also a good idea to practice with high-mobility brawlers like Edgar, Buzz, or Mortis if you want to get used to Ollie’s playstyle early. His Super dash works similarly to Edgar’s jump, but it has a knockback effect instead of healing, so learning how to position yourself to hit multiple enemies with your dash will give you a huge advantage when Ollie launches. You can also practice aiming bouncing shots with Barley or Dynamike, since the physics work almost exactly the same as Ollie’s main attack.
You can also keep an eye out for official launch challenges that usually go live the day a new brawler releases. These challenges usually give out free skins, coins, and even extra Chroma Credits if you win enough matches, so they’re worth participating in even if you don’t have Ollie unlocked yet. Most of these challenges let you use the new brawler for free during the challenge period, so you can test him out before you spend your hard-earned resources to unlock him permanently.
We’re just as hyped as you are to take Ollie for a spin in Brawl Ball and Gem Grab, and we’ll update this post the second Supercell shares official confirmation of when is Ollie releasing in Brawl Stars. Until then, don’t fall for fake leaks, save up your resources, and keep an eye on the next Brawl Talk for the official launch announcement. If you’re lucky, you might even get him from a free Brawl Box on launch day if you’ve been saving up your keys. Happy grinding, and we’ll see you on the skate park maps soon!
