When you hear the words Battle Royal, what do you think of? The first three thoughts that come to mind are For Honor, the action-packed Japanese movie, and The Hunger Games. Now, developer Mantisco looks to combine all three of those into one grand battle royal called, HUNTER’S ARENA: LEGENDS. Earlier this week during WWE’s Royal Rumble, Mantisco announced that Hunter’s Arena: Legends (HA:L) will hold a closed beta from February 20th to February 23rd. Sixty combatants will enter the arena and only one will walk away. Does the combination of a Blade and Soul and Apex type of game sound interesting to you?
From now until February 17th, players around the world will have the opportunity to register for the closed Hunter’s Arena: Legends beta. Hunter’s Arena: Legends is described as a MOBA and Action RPG hybrid. HA:L’s beta will welcome 30,000 players from around the globe to take part in the death battle. This battle would make even Mortal Kombat envious. Ten thousand players from America, Europe, and Asia will have the opportunity to test out the servers and who will be the legendary hunter? Below are the HL:A’s beta times and a brief description of the game.
- America: Thursday, Feb. 20 to Sunday, Feb. 23 from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m. (GMT -7)
- Europe: Thursday, Feb. 20 to Sunday, Feb. 23 from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m. (GMT +1)
- Asia: Thursday, Feb. 20 to Sunday, Feb. 23 from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m. (GMT +9)
