Shadow Arena Is Coming To Consoles With A New Character
Pearl Abyss has revealed that Shadow Arena is coming to consoles and bringing with it a new playable hero to the mix. The devs are currently developing the game for both PS4 and Xbox One, with the plan to release it later this year. No word yet if a PS5 or Xbox Series X build is on the way, though. The devs have also added a new hero to the mix as Gorgath becomes the 12th playable character. The character is an alchemist who uses the power of Earth to summon rocks for brutal offensive attacks. They can also set up a rock-solid defense against enemies, and utilize a mix of ranged attacks including hurling boulders. They also have close-range AOE attacks, in case you like to get more up close and personal. We have a few more details on them below from the devs along with some other improvements made to the game.
Tier Structure Revamp
– Player Tiers were revamped for the Beta Season Round 2.
> Tier Points will be updated based on the results at the end of each game and will determine if a promotion/demotion match takes place for changes in Tier.
> A player can qualify for a promotion match to a higher Tier when they reach 100 points,
> If a player's Tier Points reaches 0, a tier demotion will occur.
> After the start of each round, the results of the first 5 games will determine which Tier placement a player receives.
