Greetings Heroes of Armantia! Since our last update with our Beta in October 2023, we’ve been hard at work on Second Wave. We had so much feedback and of course over 20,000 players who tried the game. Since then, we have seen the outcry from the community, and we feel that the game is now ready for Early Access. What does this mean for you? Although we originally planned to release Second Wave at the end of 2024, we realized that we needed to take more time to develop the game. As of now, our timeline is 2025, but we will keep the game in Early Access, which means that players will be able to test the game, give us direct feedback, and help shape the game with us. Second Wave’s Early Access will begin on May 30, 2024 (May 31, 2024 UTC) via the Steam platform on PC.

Thank you for your patience!

Heroes of Armantia, Hello everyone. I'm the CEO of Challengers Games and the Producer of Second Wave, Koji Tamura. I hope everyone is doing well with the new season and all the changes that come with it. I'm certainly not. I still haven't gotten over my cold for a month now... (cough, cough) Well, anyway. First and foremost, I want to say thank you to everyone. To everyone who participated in our first Beta Test from October 6th to October 16th, thank you. It's been almost four months since we first showed you our Alpha version of Second Wave on May 27th, 2023. This Alpha test was incredibly instrumental. We were able to gather some amazing feedback from the Alpha players, and it helped us steer the game in the right direction. The view on this ship during our adventure to create Second Wave was a little foggy at times, but your feedback allowed us to see more clearly and resulted in bringing some really good changes to the game.

If you download the Lite version from the official Arena Breakout website, the size of this beta test installation package is about 800MB. Once you open up the game, downloads will require another 50MB of space approximately, while map resources will take up around another 350MB. Total storage space used is estimated to be 2GB, but for system reasons, we recommend that you have at least 3GB of storage space for the game.

Thank you for participating in the Second Wave Beta! In this beta, we are introducing new Heroes, Game Modes, major out-of-game systems, and a variety of other features. Please remember that everything in the beta is still in development! Just as we did during Alpha, we will continue to develop the game by listening to your valuable feedback during the Beta. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to interacting with you and making Second Wave even better!

From October 6th to October 16th, we had our first Beta for #PlaySecondWave on PC and Xbox Series X/S. We met some amazing players. We know the Beta was far from perfect, but THANK YOU for giving us a chance. We'll keep working on it, we promise. We'll see you soon.

Welcome to Second Wave! Second Wave is an upcoming free-to-play action shooter anime MOBA, releasing on PC, Consoles and Mobile. Our goal with Second Wave is to create a fun, re-playable game that players will want to learn more about the game's story, diverse characters and, more importantly, enjoy the experience. The Story Second Wave takes place in the world of Armantia, a fairly large continent that consists of many countries. Over the years, wars have been fought over a unique resource that has aided the continent in the advancement of Science and Technology called, The Arcane Stone. Over the years, certain characters have risen in the ranks, either as heroes or exiles, fighting a second wave generation war over The Arcane Stone.
