Roblox’s wildly popular game Blox Fruits has dropped its long-anticipated Update 24, also known as the Dragon Rework update, creating a massive buzz among fans. Released earlier today, the update caused active player numbers to skyrocket, doubling within minutes. As of now, over two million players are online—a record-breaking milestone for the game this year.
The update brings an array of new features and changes, headlined by the return of the Dragon fruit. A Mythical Beast-type fruit, the Dragon fruit has been completely overhauled after being removed in a previous update. It’s now back in action and available for purchase for 5,000 Robux. Fans of Blox Fruits are ecstatic to see the return of this PvP powerhouse, which has been a favorite among competitive players.
Update 24 also introduces two new fruits—Gas and Blade, the latter replacing the Chop fruit—along with a revamp of the Diamond fruit. Other improvements include updates to the Dragon Talon fighting style, new animations for NPCs and auras, and adjustments to islands and weapons. New weapons such as the Dragonheart sword and Dragonstorm gun have also been added, alongside an increased level cap from 2,550 to 2,600, giving players more room to grow.
This update is especially significant as major updates for Blox Fruits are rare; the last one was almost a year ago. The rapid influx of players since the release reflects how eagerly anticipated these changes were. For a game that has seen fluctuating player counts throughout 2024, the Dragon Rework update has provided a much-needed boost heading into the holiday season.
Adding to the excitement is the lukewarm reception of One Piece Grand Arena, an officially licensed One Piece Roblox game that launched earlier this week. Despite initial hype, the game has struggled to gain traction, with only about 500 active players currently. This is welcome news for Blox Fruits, which has maintained its dominance in the anime-inspired Roblox space.
With the success of Update 24, Blox Fruits has breathed new life into its community and positioned itself strongly as the year ends. The developers’ thoughtful updates and focus on fan feedback ensure the game’s legacy as a leading title on Roblox remains intact.
