Hone your skills in the new Battlefield Arena coming to Age of Wushu

As the Martial Arts-based MMO Age of Wushu nears the end of its closed beta, Snail Games has announced a new feature that will be making it's way into the game: The Age of Wushu Battlefield Arena. A team based arena style setting where players can hone their skills and earn experience, which they can take and use out in the open world.

Initially the Battle Arena will have two gameplay modes, each with 12 person and 24 person variants.

The first mode is "Power Competition". This is your standard point-based mode that gives your team points for each enemy killed on the opposing team. The team with the highest score at the end of the match is declared the victor.

The second, more intense, game type is "Death Mode". In this mode all re-spawns are disabled and there is no time limit. The last one standing takes the victory for his or her team.

A second feature thrown into Death Mode is a feature called "Secret Association Experts" in which a random person on each team is designated as a high valued target. If this member is killed by the opposing team, that team will be granted powerful buffs that can aid them in battle.

With the initial release of the Battle Arena will be two unique battlefields that are associated with the number of players participating in each match. For 12 player team-battles, players will fight in the "Ancient Tomb Sect" Arena, while players participating in 24-player battles will fight in the "Muyun Villa" Arena.

Battlefield Arenas are scheduled to release in Age of Wushu on April 10th. For more information, head over to their official news page detailing the upcoming new feature.
