SwitchBlade, the vehicular MOBA has unlocked a brand new car for competitors to try and an accompanying trailer for the new joiner. Right now, players eager for a change of pace can jump in and try out the Porcupine.
While the name might not instantly conjure up images of blistering speed or nimble maneuvers, the Porcupine is the latest scout craft to join the Switchblade garage. This nimble new craft brings the overall Switchblade roster up to a total of seventeen and has a distinctly prickly attitude. Full of pace and surprise, the Porcupine has its very own unique load out of abilities.
