Say NO to teaming up in Solo Battles!



Greetings, this is Shadow Arena.

Thank you to everyone who is participating in the Beta of Shadow Arena, which runs from February 27 (Thu) - March 8 (Sun)

So far, many testers have been playing the fantasy arena fighter - Shadow Arena, and helping us to further develop the game. However, we believe that intentionally cooperating as a team in Solo battles detracts from the goal of the battle-royale genre.

Team battle is where you can team up with other testers. Solo battles are where you rely on your individual skills to overcome your opponents fairly.
If someone continues to disrupt the gameplay of others, we may have to enforce game restrictions in accordance with the Operational Policy.

If you discover a tester intentionally taking part in disruptive gameplay, please report them to us via Support. The Shadow Arena team will do its utmost to provide a stable test environment.

Thank you.
