CD Projekt Red has announced their first foray into the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) field with The Witcher: Battle Arena, a mobile MOBA that’s due for release on the Android, iOS and Windows tablets and phones sometime at the end of the year.
“With mobile devices as powerful as they are and the graphics they offer being so beautiful, we can finally plunge into mobile gaming and deliver our take on free gaming to gamers worldwide,” said Adam Badowski, Head of Studio, CD Projekt Red.
In the Arena, six heroes battle it out to the death, trying to capture and hold three conquest points in short, intense skirmishes. The game’s system of character progression allows you to create player-tailored character builds and unique item configurations to surprise your friends and stagger your foes. Players will take on the roles of legendary lore-friendly characters such as the witcher Letho of Gulet, dwarven adventurer Zoltan Chivay or the mighty sorceress Philippa Eilhart and use their diverse skills to smash opponents.
“In a world full of enter-your-PIN-number-to-win mechanics, what we value above all is well-balanced and honest gameplay,” said Tadek ZieliÅ„ski, Creative Analyst. “Battle Arena is all about skill and dedication, and we’ve spent hundreds of hours planning to make it a paragon of fairness in mobile gaming,” ZieliÅ„ski added.
Designed by CD Projekt Red and developed by Fuero Games, The Witcher: Battle Arena will be out in Q4 2014.
