Today Pearl Abyss announced that their hero action battle royale Shadow Arena will add another Hero – the warrior Igrid. Igrid is the 14th Hero to enter Shadow Arena, specializing in close-range combat using her axe and shield. Shadow Arena will host a free 2 week trial period, where all of the game’s Heroes will be unlocked to play.
The event where players can try all Heroes for free will run for two weeks from today until August 26, so get in the arena!
Igrid is a versatile fighter who uses her gigantic axe to deal crippling blows to her enemies. Although her shield is used primarily for defense, she can also use it to push back attacking enemies. Despite her heavy armor, Igrid is an agile combatant – her jump attacks can crush enemies, but they can also leave her open to counter attacks, so use them wisely.
Additionally, Shadow Arena’s Spectator mode has been enhanced with automatic camera switching that helps viewers follow the action.
