Global Beta Updates

3K View2023-04-25

Dear Players,

We've seen a lot together during this test. The new map Armory tore us up and spit us out. New events sent us hunting for gold and chasing Porrero across the Dark Zone. You might have even made a friend or two along the way. It couldn't have been done without you! The feedback we've received during the test will only make Arena Breakout better. From the matchmaking to the anti-cheat, the next time you see us, we're going to be in tip-top shape. Thanks to you, we've put the pedal to the metal on getting our kill cam and improved audio features ready.

We're proud to invite you all to join in the next phase of testing, where we're bringing female operators into the Dark Zone, new weapons, new modes, and more!

We will stop the current version's matchmaking on May 8, 23:00 (UTC+0), and on May 9, 00:00 (UTC+0) close the server and delete all testing data.

Following that, we plan to update to the next version of the game and open servers on May 9, 10:00 (UTC+0). These times are all subject to change.

After updating, players will be able to download the latest version from Google Play or our official website https://arenabreakout.com/. If Google Play hasn't updated yet, make sure you're in our testing regions for this beta test. Take note: this test will also be a data deletion test. None of your data or character progression will be carried over after the test ends.

For all of you who have been with us throughout the last two months, we've already prepared a gift so you can jump right back into the action. Enjoy a special Koen pack and XP card to boost you through Arena Breakout's early levels.

Update Time: May 8, 23:00 to May 9, 10:00 (UTC+0)

Please note: This beta test is a data-deletion test. None of your progress will be carried over once the test is completed!

Here's a peek at what's new in the coming update. All dates and times are UTC+0.
