We first heard about Arena of Fate from Crytek at last year's E3 and mum has been the word ever since with not so much a trailer or image released since then. It's a new take on MOBA's that Crytek has enlisted using classic fairy tale characters such as Little Red Riding Hood, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes as well as historical characters like Nikola Tesla. Each character will have their own individual abilities in a 5 v 5 battle for domination.
Featuring fast and furious multiplayer action, Arena of Fate invites players to battle it out in 5 vs. 5 matches as they master the unique traits of famous figures such as Sherlock Holmes, Nikola Tesla, Cleopatra, and many more. Matches in Arena of Fate are inspired by the competitive spirit and last-ditch drama of real sports, adding a unique twist to the MOBA genre as players fight to claim victory before a 20-minute time limit ticks away. Every point is precious, and the final score will be determined by each team’s ability to work in harmony as they unleash the distinctive skills of their heroes. The game also includes a club system that paves the way for ongoing league challenges, tournaments, and enhanced matchmaking and social features.
Crytek’s Vesselin Handjiev, Managing Director of Crytek Black Sea, said: “As die-hard MOBA enthusiasts, our team has worked hard to create a truly original experience for players. We can’t wait to see how the game is received during Closed Beta testing, and will put all the feedback we receive to good use as we further refine Arena of Fate ahead of its launch.”
There is still no release date as of yet for Arena of Fate but it will be a console exclusive according to Crytek with no current plans of bringing it to consoles.
