Greetings Hunters, Mantisco here with some news for you all.
Since its launch on Steam on July of 2020 and 2021 on PlayStation, many hunters from around the world have loved and enjoyed Hunter's Arena: Legends. Unfortunately, the end has come to the journey of Hunter's Arena: Legends. Although our hearts are heavy, we know that the hearts of all the hunters who have been on the journey with us will be far heavier. Hunter's Arena: Legends is scheduled to officially end service soon. (Exact date and time will be announced at a later date) All payments will be closed and there may be some disruptions in the service of the game.
However, this is not the end of the Hunter's Arena franchise! We are preparing a Hunter's Arena extraction genre game and look forward to presenting it to you soon. News about the new game and other relevant information will be provided through the following communities below:
Although there were many shortcomings and regrets, we're truly grateful to everyone who has been with us, showing continued love and support. We hope to see you again in Hunter's Arena.
Once again, thank you for all the love and support for Hunter's Arena: Legends
Hunter's Arena March Update
Hey guys,
We are excited to bring you a big new update this March. Two new content will be added. The much-anticipated arrival of a brand new character is finally here along with a bigger and more interactive map.
It will also be a good time for you to jump back into HAL and resume your journey to get to the top spots in the leaderboard as Season 3 will kick off at the same time.
Let’s take a look at the update content in more detail.
New Character
Geon-Hoon, A formidable melee character who wields a giant heavy sword joins the roster. He is the half brother of Geon Hong. They haven’t gotten along well since childhood because of an incident that separated them apart which explains why there’s not much resemblance except the name.
Unlike his half-brother, he’s a ferocious warrior who finishes any enemy he sets his eye on. His skills focus on closing the distance and finishing his enemy with a powerful blow. He’s a pressure fighter whose key to victory is to maintain a distance that works to his favor. He comes with the Awoken Evil Within skin which matches his personality and combat style.
New Map
Battle Royale Map will be changed into a bigger, and more interactive map. Some of the interactive props include destructible boxes, grounds destrutible with a bomb, sliding doors, and lava zone.
There will be more confined dungeon style areas, one of which lies in the center of the map. The number of general monsters will be reduced. Instead, players will get to fight more boss monsters while there will be more buff chests and crystals to farm. All these environmental changes will have you approach the game with a different strategy.
Season 3
New Season begins with lots of rewards to high-ranked players for all game modes, including Battle Royale Solo, Trio, Tag Match and Conquest.
This new update will bring new excitement to the game. We hope to see you guys in the game!
December Update - New Game Mode, Pets, and More
Hey guys,
Thank you for waiting. Here is the patch note for the 1.14 update which brings you a new game mode Conquest along with Pet System and brand new character effects.
More updates and events are coming in the future as well, so please stay tuned!
CONQUEST MODE
In Conquest Mode, three players team up to play against another team to gain control of three points for victory.
Maps
Conquest Mode takes place in one of 8 spots of the Battle Royale map. It will be randomly chosen for each game. Here are the 8 spots.
- The Temple in the North of Ancient Altar - The Fortress in the South of Ancient Altar - Plundered Legacy - Abandoned Village - Fanatic Ruins - Snake Path Shrine - Tomb of Swords - Sealed Fortress
Game Rules
As the barrier disappears, the game starts. Each team starts with 1,000 points, and your score decreases every second if the enemy team gains control of a control point. ( Each of the three control points decreases a different value per second.)
If you die, you will be revived at the starting area after 10 seconds. Your job is to conquer and protect control points at all costs while trying to stay alive.
Each character starts with the same fixed stats without any consumable items. The outcome depends purely on your skills and strategies.
The team whose score drops to 0 loses. If 10 minutes have passed, the one with a higher score wins.
Here are other elements that will impact the outcome of the game.
Treasure Goblin: Killing a treasure goblin regains a certain points of your team’s score. Treasure goblin is summoned about five minutes after the game begins.
Boss: A boss is summoned in a random spot. Killing a boss makes your enemy team’s score decrease drastically. A boss is summoned about 8 minutes after the game begins.
ENERGY SYSTEM
You can now gain Energy when you kill a monster in Solo or Trio Battle Royale Mode.
You can check how much Energy you have absorbed at the result window. Up to 50 Energy can be absorbed in a single game.
PETS
We now have pets in Hunter’s Arena. You can bring a pet to your Solo or Trio Battle Royale game, who will pick up items for you.
There are three different tiers of pets, High, Mid, and Low. Your pet’s tier impacts how wide they search for items and how close they follow you.
Pets can be purchased with either SP or Energy.
We have a plan to add boss characters as pets in the future update, so stay tuned for that as well.
EFFECTS
New character effects are added which can be equipped for your character’s eye, arms, or legs.
SEASON 3 & AND CONQUEST TOURNAMENT
Hope you had a good time playing Season 2. Season 3 is coming soon which will include Conquest Mode.
In the meantime, we will have a pre-season period. As soon as we are ready for Season 3, we will give you a heads-up.
With the start of Season 3, a tournament for Conquest Mode will be held as well. Use this pre-season period to master your skills and prepare for the tourney.
That’s it for this patch note. Thank you for the read and your continuous support. We will continue our best efforts to make Hunter’s Arena a better game.
Thanks Mantisco

RP SYSTEM
We were aware of the issue where some users would receive abnormal amounts of RP after each match. Since we tracked many users who encountered this issue, we have decided to normalize the rank of applicable accounts. Therefore, rank of some users will fall drastically and we would like to apologize for the inconvenience. We would like to let you know that your rank has to be fixed in order to have the rankings return to normal.
As well, in compensation on our fault on the rank issue, we are going to revise the ranking rewards as follows.
Dalgi, Sandy Hunter's Rangers skin: Legend rank Top 500 -> All Legend rank players by the end of the season. Legend rank Top 3 -> Legend rank Top 10
Aside from fixing the rank and MMR issues, we are also going to introduce a brand new RP system. In the new system, we will make sure that all of our players will be able to see how the ranking system works. This is currently in the works, so please be patient.
Lastly, we are not going to tolerate any users who decide to utilize ingame bugs to their advantage. We are going to action and decide to ban such players going forward.
Thank you everyone and please enjoy Hunter's Arena.
