Greetings witches and wizards!
It's time for our Arena 2026 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 since the server update.
We appreciate your patience with us as we continue to work on making our maps more up-to-date.
Progression System:
We have concluded our first season of the Battlepass and are now rotating in new content for our second season! Here are some of the new things to expect:
NEW - Firework
NEW - Collectable
NEW - Wand Name
Arena Token Shop Update: We have now set up an automated rotation system for the Arena Shop, Battle Pass Missions and Choco Hop Cards for each season. This means at the beginning of each season, a new shop update, new choco hop cards and Battle Pass Missions will automatically refresh!
Alongside this, we have also added some new items to the shop:
NEW - Rotated in new Choco Hop Cards
NEW - Arena 2026 Banners
We're continuing to work on new items for the shop, which will be sure to hit the shop in a future release!
NEW Challenge Type:
During the December 12 Hours of Classes. we introduced our newest gamemode, TriBattle!
What is a TriBattle?
This new gamemode allows players to experience every gamemode we have available in 3 separate rounds, this can include: Duelling, Flying, Star Racing, Plasma Showdown, Rafting and in the future, Sledding. Three gamemodes will be selected at random and placed in order from 1 to 3.
- 1v1 - Players will go through all 3 modes solo in the order they are randomised.
- 2v2 - The player challenging the first gamemode, will also take on the third gamemode, the other teammate will take the second gamemode.
- 3v3 - Each player will only go through one challenge type. Meaning the first player in your team order will do the first gamemode, and so on.
This mode is set in an FFA-style so that players (solo or teamed) can battle against each other to earn points to determine their final placement. A spreadsheet will be given out so that everyone can follow along on what their team order is, the gamemodes listed and how many points you earn each round.
Important Note:
This Challenge type will only be scheduled near the end of each season or randomly when partaking in x Hour of Classes. Why? This is due to being a seasonal gamemode, rewarding players will seasonal rewards and score for the Arena Leaderboard.
NEW 2026 Tournament Schedule:
With the new year, a new Tournament Schedule has been made! You can check out what to expect during the year here. Additionally, we have lowered the number of Tournaments per month this year, as the team is smaller now with fewer hosts and helpers.
Please note that Sledding has currently been removed as it is broken. This may change later in the year once it has been fixed.
QoL Updates: The team has been working hard behind the scenes to provide new and fun updates!
These new QoL updates include;
- Included a temporary 5th Mission to our Arena Taskboard until Sledding is fixed
- Fixed an issue with HP in Dueling Arenas and Halls to no longer be less than 10k
- Fixed a prolonged issue with players trying to enter the Plasma Pointe / Year 2 Student trainers and being kicked
- Fixed an issue with Student Brawl NPC's from a previous battle still being in the Arena when another player enters right after
- Fixed typo in our Space Hanger Arena not showing how many players are in the region
- Removed all confirms from our Tournament History museum
The team are always looking at new ways to improve the QoL experience for everyone and will continue to do so!
Arena Discord: We're continuing to explore ideas and suggestions that we could bring to the Arena Discord. Additionally, we post a community-update post each month to share what we have been working on.

What can I look forward to in the future?:
We are continuing to work on our current projects and QoL improvements we have in the works. Currently, projects have slowed down due to the teams IRL schedules, 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!
