In the [[New Features]] for June 7th/8th, [[The Neopets Team]] released information regarding the beginning of the upcoming tournament.  The words "''la, la, la... oh do you want to know about the Altador Cup?''" were used to link players to an advertisement for the upcoming event. Appearing in the advertisement were the infamous blaring crowd, as well as four hilighted fans, a [[Usul]], [[Aisha]], [[Yurble]] and [[Skeith]] who were cheering and shouting. At the end, a fire [[Yooyu]] flew through the trailer and the date 06.12.08 was displayed.

Althought [[The Neopets Team|TNT]] hadn't confirmed anything else but the starting date of the Cup, the staff of the Neopets help site [http://www.jellyneo.net/ Jellyneo] found evidence that the Kiko Lake team would not be participating in the 2008 tournament.  They discovered an image of the updated chatboard logo, which shows the colors of the teams participating. The Kiko Lake colours of brown, green and black were missing, replaced with the orange and purple colours of the Kreludor Team. This was true, as Kreludor returned. Make Some Noise, along with Slushie Slinger also returned.

The finals consist of a playoff match-up and a final match-up, each lasts for two days. The 16 teams will split into four groups according to their ranking. In the playoff match-up, the highest and lowest ranked teams for each group will play against each other, while the second and third ranked teams for each group play against each other. The two winning teams of each group will play against each other for the first place within their group, while the two losing teams fight for the third place.
