In the abundance of anime-themed games on Roblox, Blox Fruits is a breath of fresh air. The game takes inspiration from the globally acclaimed anime/manga series One Piece, and it recently hit a whopping one million active players.
Even earlier, Blox Fruits was cherished and played by almost 100k players at any point of the day. The game currently has 5.9 billion visits on its homepage, which demonstrates how much love it has received over the years.
So what caused the whole commotion and the sudden rise in the active player count? Well, let's take a look!
How did Roblox Blox Fruits hit 1 million active players?
If you've been a regular Roblox Blox Fruits player, you would know that the developer recently rolled out the 20th update for the game on October 21 at 11 a.m. EST or 3 p.m. GMT. It added a treasure trove of new features, including Scrolls, a crafting system, weapons, ships, and so much more.
On October 21, Blox Fruits reached the milestone that has only been achieved by very few Roblox games — it hit one million concurrent online players. This enormous active player count was only possible because of all the regular, returning, and new players loading into the game, and checking out the update and the new features it added.
What was Update 20 all about?
Now, let's take a look at what the Roblox Blox Fruits Update 20 added and whether it is worth the hype.
The first thing the update added was the Scrolls, new enchantment-based collectibles that are the stars of the show. The wise Dragon Talon Sage (NPC) will get you some upgrades for your weapons along with these new scrolls. The latter can also be crafted, but be prepared to go hunting in Special Events for the necessary materials. In total, there are six types of scrolls, each offering different buffs, bonuses, and cooldown reductions for your arsenal.
With Update 20, you can now rule the seven seas with flying boats, opening up new horizons for exploration. In addition to choosing your path as a marine or a pirate, you can chow down on two new Blox Fruits (Devil Fruits), Mammoth and Sound Fruits. Transform into a mammoth and stomp your way through foes with the Mammoth Fruit, or let loose a symphony of havoc with the Sound Fruit.
A new and wicked weapon was also added to the game called the Shark Anchor sword, it packs a punch with Zyphoon Toss and Armor Breaker abilities. Zyphoon Toss sends foes flying with massive AoE damage, while Armor Breaker slices through defenses with swift slashing strikes.
For martial arts enthusiasts, the Sanguine Art Fighting Style is now in the mix. Unleash powerful abilities like the Bloodbane Drain, Scarlet Tear, and Devourer of Worlds for a truly fearsome display of combat prowess.
This was everything that led to Roblox Blox Fruits hitting that one million concurrent active player mark. There are more changes on the horizon for Roblox Blox Fruits like new swords, guns, and Devil Fruits. This means that the game can reach even higher milestones in the near future.
So, whether you're a seasoned pirate or a fresh-faced rookie, there's never been a better time to set sail in the world of Roblox Blox Fruits! For more exciting content, bookmark Sportskeeda's Roblox News Hub.
