NOTE: We are performing a Server Maintenance until August 3rd. Please read the details below.
To everyone who showed support for Hunter’s Arena,
First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone who supported and purchased Hunter’s Arena during Early Access.
We would also like to take our time apologizing for taking a considerate amount of time polishing our game and making our fans wait for the official launch.
Today, we would like to bring some exciting news. We are soon launching the biggest update for Hunter’s Arena as we prepare for our official launch. For those of you who saw Hunter’s Arena showcased in PlayStation’s State of play, we are very close to having you slay demons and fight other Hunters again.
We are not only launching on Steam but also preparing for cross-play with PlayStation.
You can check out our latest Announcement Trailer below
Finally on August 3rd, Hunter’s Arena will release on PlayStation Plus and we will see countless users fighting again to achieve victory in the deadly arena.
We are aware of matchmaking issues and the lack of playerbase with our game. However, that will no longer be an issue for you to enjoy your future hunt.
We are preparing an equivalent update to Steam as on console on August 3rd.
The updates are listed below:
[New Hunters]
Momo, Dalgi, Wu Kong, Pigsy, Sandy 5 new Hunters are added to the total roster of 17 Hunters for you to enjoy.
Get ready to meet brand new Hunters with unique weapons and abilities. More info on new Hunters will be posted soon.
[60 -> 30]
We switched from a traditional 60 player to 30 player Battle Royale Solo and Trio Modes. The map was also shrunk down for quality of life purposes. You will encounter never seen before transportation systems and special buffs throughout the map. Our one of a kind dungeons and Boss Demons are still present for you to explore and hunt.
You will experience a more exciting fast-paced battle in the all new arena we prepared. Never let your guard down and hunt everything that crosses your path.
[All New Combat System]
We added an all new mechanic that will spice up the dynamic in our combat system, Quickstep. By using Quickstep at the right moment, you can easily turn the fight the around
However, keep in mind that using Quickstep consumes a large amount of your Stamina. Use it carefully as it could also leave you prone to long range Hunter’s projectile attacks.
[Optimization]
To enable smooth cross-play during gameplay, we focused on improving Optimization as well as updated Minimum System Requirements.
Now, players will be able to enjoy Hunter’s Arena on lower spec. PC.
We have also separated Guard and Martial Arts Counter to different keys and added weapon skins for quality of life purposes.
Without further ado, experience an all new Hunter’s Arena on August 3rd!
Last but not least, we are performing a Server Maintenance until August 3rd for our biggest update. When we come back on August 3rd, it will finally be the official launch with the new updates. Prices may differ at the official launch. We are also holding a 50% discount for two weeks to celebrate the official launch.
We thank you again for showing great support for Hunter’s Arena and would like to kindly ask you to wait just a bit longer for the upcoming release. We will promise you a bigger player base with more content to enjoy very soon.
That’s all for today and we will see you very soon again on Hunter’s Arena!

We’re here to briefly introduce Hunter’s Arena: Legends Beta Season and a summary of what you can expect to see.
Detailed content will be provided later through a separate notice.
Ranking Page & Beta Season
We have opened the ranking pages per each mode with the release of update v 1.0.26.5
In mid-August, Hunter’s Arena: Legends beta season will begin. The Battle Royale Solo/Trio, Tag Mode, and Free-For-All rankings and tiers will be displayed as described in the previous announcement.
Also, with the start of the beta season, all current tiers and scores will be reset (a soft reset). However, the internal MMR(matchmaking rating), which determines the level of beginners, and experts, will be maintained.
[Tier adjustment due to soft reset]
Legend → Platinum
Diamond → Gold
Platinum, Gold, Silver → Silver
Bronze → Bronze
So what is Beta Season?
This beta season is scheduled to run for 6 to 7 weeks, and the official season implementation will be decided depending on the degree of completeness of the project. However, we will be providing rewards to players for participating in the Beta season.
1. Regardless of the mode, a brand new character’s skin will be rewarded to players that reach a certain level or higher at the end of the beta season. Also, in addition to new skins, additional rewards are under development.
2. SP points will be rewarded per rank at the end of the beta season.
※ During the season, players that are involved in any rule violations such as teaming and bug exploits are not eligible for season reward and could lead to bans.
We're preparing more ways for the players to be able to enjoy Hunter's Arena: Legends. We look forward to seeing you there.
In addition to the information provided, more details will be announced through announcements as soon as they are confirmed.
