Black Desert Online’s Standalone Battle Royale Game ‘Shadow Arena’ Starts CBT Later This Month

shut down the game mode because it took too much of the developers’ time only to be re-announced as a separate standalone game towards the end of the year.

Closed beta registrations are now open for the standalone game in preparation for the first ever Shadow Arena CBT which will run from Thursday, February 27th to Sunday, March 8th.

“Shadow Arena pits 40 players against one another in a ruthless competition to be the last person standing on the battlefield. Players can choose from one of nine playable characters in the beta, each with their own unique fighting style. To climb to the top of the pack, players must hunt monsters and collect loot to upgrade their gear and gain buffs. However, impeccable skill execution and well-timed evasive tactics are critical in turning fights in one’s favor to secure victory.”

Shadow Arena is expected to launch on PC within the first half of 2020 and a little later on consoles. Check out the game’s official trailer below. You can also for the CBT here.
