Looking forward to Dark Arena!

I can't wait for Dark Arena!

Going to look forward to the next chapter of epicness from this grand tactical game!

I wonder if there will be any new subclasses?

I love the main campaign, but I'm not sure an arena module is the best direction to go in next. The arena thing has been done to death in other games, and I usually only like it if it's part of the main campaign instead of a separate one.

I guess we'll see though.

Pierre's encounter construction is awesome. So I am sure the module will be a great addition to the game and have some memorable combats!

I'm not doubting the encounters (beyond a potential reused battlefield). Part of what made the first adventure so good was the puzzles and story and such. Typically, "arena" modules are much lighter on that and basically end up being a gauntlet of fights.

I mean, all these games are fundamentally a string of fights but the dialogue options, puzzles, etc help break it up and give it more variety. I just hope there's still cRPG elements beyond the arena fights.

GOG owner here; what is the Dark Arena?
What I hope it would be is an 'arena mode' where one can match up their parties vs other parties. In particular, user created ones; with the option for 'head to head' match ups via hotseat or maybe just let the 'ais' go at it.
No other pc 'rpg' offers this, that I know of; though Low Magic Age has an arena mode that one can fight randomly generated parties against.
If this is the feature that is in the works (I hope it is); then this game would be...a must have, regardless of the price. imho
Btw, the game needs UI Scaling per the text...badly. (again, imho)

The Dark Arena is a separate module for mid-level characters , around level 10ish.

Join the Guild of Adventurers and the Knights of the Chalice and rise through their ranks as the party is given missions of increasing import.

Pierre plans on having a lot of fun puzzles and other riddles that he likes to include, on top of his challenging encounter design.

I don't foresee him offering any multiplayer stuff...but I would not rule it out as he is a very proficient programmer.

But i do know he will focus on refining what we already got to experience in KOTC 2.
