Greetings witches and wizards!
It's time for our Arena 2025 Season 1 Releases!
Arena Maps: We are continuing to make edits to all of our existing maps: Flying, Dueling and Seasonal as well as making QoL improvements to them. Some of these improvements include:
- Altered our Enchanted Valley Flying Course colors to account for those with color blindness
- Reworked barriers on our Dragon's Enclosure Course
- Updated a handful of courses and arena map barriers to eliminate the issue of spectators being unable to see, as well as revamped the design of some to make spectating easier. These maps include Phoenix Base Arena, Sorcerer's Skull Arena and the Dark Prison Arena
We appreciate your patience with us as we continue to work on making our maps more up-to-date. Additionally, new maps we have in the works currently will be released in the future!
Arena Token Shop Update: We have rotated out our holiday-themed items and rotated in beloved but missed items! We have also included our newest addition, 2025 banners.
New additions will be sure to hit the shop in a future rotation!
NEW QoL Updates: The team has been working hard behind the scenes to provide new and fun updates!
These new QoL updates include;
- Fixed an issue where the number of players within a Training Session course/arena was not displaying
- Fixed a bug where Mollio was not working on snow
- Updated our in-game rules for Challenges and Tournaments regarding the new party invisibility command and usage of goggles
- Removed extra entities from our existing maps to help reduce lag
- We have been working on the re-implementation and fixes of Plasma Showdown. We're still working on finding any additional bugs we have been running into. Hopefully, this gamemode should be playable again by May 2025!
The team are always looking at new ways to improve the QoL experience for everyone, and will continue to do so!
Tournament Schedule: Heading into 2025, we have included House Tournaments in our schedule. These will only be once every quarter. Make sure to come along and show off your house pride with us!

Calendar Update: More teamed Challenges have been added to the calendar schedule. We have also begun to include Mystery Flying Challenges each month.
Arena Discord: We're continuing to explore ideas and suggestions that we could bring to the Arena Discord.

What can I look forward to in the future?:
Throughout the last year, we have been continuing to work on adding multiple new features and QoL updates for our overall gameplay experience within Arena. We are continuing to work on our current projects and secret ones we have in the works. Currently, projects have slowed down due to our recent staff break, members of the team going on hiatus and members leaving. We hope to be able to announce new additions to our game modes and content in a future release.
Additionally, the team is a lot smaller than what it used to be, which means less manpower to work on completing our projects at a faster pace. If you want to be a part of brainstorming and creating these projects, we recommend that you apply for Arena Squire to help!

And finally, we'd like to credit you guys! This update wouldn't have been possible without all your feedback. We hope you enjoy this release and we're looking forward to seeing you at our future Challenges and Tournaments!
