Today Pearl Abyss announced Shadow Arena will enter a final closed beta from April 17-19 ahead of its launch later this year.
Sign up for the closed beta: https://shadowarena.pearlabyss.com/main/index
The beta for this arena fighter will be available for the North American, European, and Asian servers from Friday the 17 to Sunday the 19. New features for this phase of beta testing include an improved matching system and character balance, as well as normal and AI match modes.
Normal match mode is not counted toward a player’s ranking. This mode is for players who want to play the game lightly without the pressure of competition.
AI mode is for newer players to learn and practice while fighting against AI enemies. Experienced players can also use AI mode to practice and warm up.
The special package of in-game items will be rewarded to people who sign up for the premium beta key. The package includes the highest grade sealed items, a matchlock, and Red Dragon Offering. Players who signed up for previous beta phases will receive a premium beta key and the exclusive in-game rewards.
