Israel-based video game developer and publisher Plarium announced that its acclaimed dark fantasy collection RPG RAID: Shadow Legends has launched its new PVP game mode called Live Arena.
For the first time since the game launched in 2019, two players can engage in real-time PVP battles that will test both the strength of their champions and their strategic capabilities. The mode is intended for experienced RAID players and is available to all level 50+ players.
“Live Arena is the next evolution in our continued efforts to strengthen the ever-growing RAID community,” said Schraga Mor, CEO of Plarium. “This mode allows the most experienced players, who have earned and strengthened many Champions, to see if they have what it takes to duel the most skilled and powerful veterans the game has to offer. We couldn’t be more excited to see the battles that take place and who will rise to the top of the rankings.”
Live Arena consists of three Tiers at launch: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each has four sub-tiers that players must rise in the ranks through the accumulation of Live Arena Points. Players begin by using a Live Arena Token to find an opponent. After the matchmaking process, players are sent to a live draft where they take turns selecting a team of 5 Champions, carefully choosing ones that properly counter their opponent. Each player can then ban a single Champion from the opposing team and select their Team Leader, whose aura skill will impact the whole party. When the battle begins, teams have 30 minutes to defeat the other, or both end in defeat.
RAID: Shadow Legends is available to download on iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as PC through the Microsoft Store or the Plarium Play platform.
