In a press release sent to VG247 today, Crytek called Arena of Fate an “action-packed online multiplayer game,” so it might not be the MOBA game everyone first assumed it to be.
It’ll see players engage in 5v5 battles using what the studio referred to as a “huge roster of famous characters,” including Frankenstein, Jack the Ripper and Baron Münchhausen, who can revive from the dead, slash through enemies with his cleavers and shoot foes with his cannon respectively.
Managing Director of Crytek Black Sea and Game Director of Arena of Fate, Vesselin Handjiev, said in a statement, “Imagine Joan of Arc and Robin Hood cooperating to hunt down Little Red Riding Hood – Wouldn’t that be terrific?
“But besides the game’s iconic heroes, which everyone in the team really loves, we are also challenging ourselves to carefully craft a streamlined player experience that allows for both greater accessibility, and rich, deep, action-packed gameplay.
“We are very excited to meet the first wave of players in the arena this summer, and will be listening carefully to the feedback we receive and making the community’s contribution a key part of our efforts to perfect the fun.”
Arena of Fate is being developed by Crytek’s Sofia studio and of course, runs in CryEngine. It’s due to enter an Early Access Beta phase this summer on PC, and you can get more details before then at the game’s official site.
Sounds cool, applied for beta. We do need more stuff that follows the Smite formula instead of all the countless MOBAs that go after the originals, so I hope this is one. The "setting" also seems really nice.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
