Brawl Stars: Ramen Rebellion, NanoPowers, Nori and Wendy

Supercell revealed its June 2026 Brawl Talk update, outlining the Ramen Rebellion story arc that will span two linked seasons and roll out across July and August. The announcement covers new power systems, two Brawlers, three game modes, balance changes and a slate of seasonal skins.

The Ramen Rebellion arc will connect Brawlers, skins, rewards and game modes so content follows a single storyline over two seasons. Weekly events will appear during the run, and a community vote can alter a small story detail. The first half centers on a modern shop outside Kenji’s sushi restaurant and introduces NanoPowers. The second half, called Windstock Season, introduces Smoothies and Fusions.

NanoPowers are a new class of in-match power-ups that modify attributes such as main attacks, movement speed and Supers. Each Brawler that earns a NanoPower unlocks three potential options; during matches players will be presented with two random choices and select one. NanoPowers are obtained through NanoDrops, which appear as rewards for daily wins, Mega Quests, boss fights, quests and special game modes. Each NanoDrop grants resources and cosmetics, includes at least one NanoPower with a rare chance to grant up to nine in one drop, and fills a NanoMeter reward track. Collecting 150 NanoDrops guarantees the season skins tied to that NanoMeter.

Windstock Season replaces NanoDrops with Smoothies. Smoothies work like NanoDrops for progression but deliver Fusions instead of single NanoPowers. Fusions randomly combine two NanoPowers into a single effect, merging their benefits. Smoothies fill a SmoothieMeter, and filling that meter yields Windstock season skins.

The update adds two Brawlers. Nori, a legendary Brawler arriving in July, is described as Kenji and Kaze’s child and wields a fishing rod. Nori’s chargeable main attack has three behaviors: a quick slash, a mid-charge projectile that can slash through targets or pull Nori toward a wall, and a full-charge jump that vaults over walls. Hitting enemy Brawlers with the main attack catches fish that strengthen his Super, a diving area attack whose power scales with the number of fish collected.

Wendy will arrive in August during Windstock Season as a Support Brawler. Her projectiles can either damage opponents or apply shields to teammates. Her Super deploys a large shield that absorbs a percentage of incoming damage for those inside it.

Three new modes were announced. Food Fight is a PvE cooking mode where players destroy delivery bots to gather ingredients and fulfil orders within a time limit. Culinary Wars converts that concept to PvP, with teams competing for the same objectives. Mecha Guard is a PvE payload variant in which teams must deliver a payload while battling waves of bots trying to stop them.

The update includes balance and feature additions. Buffies are added for the Arcade Trio (Rico, Brock, 8-Bit) and the Super City Trio (Max, Surge, Meg). Two Hypercharges arrive: Starr Nova’s Hypercharge grants invulnerability while dashing and near-unlimited ammo, and Bolt’s Hypercharge allows him to destroy walls while his Hypercharged Super is active.

Seasonal and event skins listed for the two seasons include Master Mico with chromas, Cyberpunk Jae-Yong variants, Tickoyaki, Fighter Berry, Cyber Shelly (legendary), Tech Tara, Nano Nori, Biotech Byron variants, Retrofuture Rosa variants, Grizzled Kenji, Energized Sprout, Windstock Grey, Turbine Moe, a Mega Mecha Meg Hypercharged skin with chromas, an adidas Ash collaboration skin and a Cyber Brock Pro Pass skin.

Supercell confirmed the content will be released across July and August as the Ramen Rebellion storyline progresses.
