Pearl Abyss Announces Shadow Arena Open Beta


Pearl Abyss announced today that Shadow Arena’s beta will take place on February 27 and run through March 8.

Originally conceived as a game mode within Black Desert, Shadow Arena has spun off to become a standalone title. Shadow Arena draws from MOBA, battle royale, and MMO genres to create an arena fighter that players can tackle solo or as a team.

“Shadow Arena pits 40 players against one another in a ruthless competition to be the last person standing on the battlefield. Players can choose from one of nine playable characters in the beta, each with their own unique fighting style. To climb to the top of the pack, players must hunt monsters and collect loot to upgrade their gear and gain buffs. However, impeccable skill execution and well-timed evasive tactics are critical in turning fights in one’s favor to secure victory.

Beta signups are available on the official website.
