Skygard Arena Launches on Steam Early Access on November 18th

Paris, France, October 31st, 2024 – Independent developer Gemelli Games has announced that their highly anticipated fantasy tactical RPG, Skygard Arena, will be available on Steam Early Access starting November 18th. To mark the occasion, the team has unveiled a new trailer that invites players into the colorful world of Skygard, a realm forever altered by an ancient cataclysm.

In Skygard Arena, players lead the Champions of five factions vying for victory in the Tournament of the Ancients, where disputes are settled through intense tactical battles. The new trailer showcases the game's unique combat system, where Champions can dash, teleport, and unleash game-changing combos in a single turn, as well as a glimpse at the content that awaits players for the Early Access launch.

The trailer introduces two new formidable Champions: the valiant front-liner Vallya and the cat-assassin Bu Shin. These two join the roster that was previously available in the public Demo version, bringing the total to nine playable Champions, with more to come during Early Access.

Players can also catch a glimpse of the all-new solo Campaign mode, featuring hand-crafted tactical missions: intense clashes between the Champions, objective capture run, unique enemies and maps, large-scale battles, epic boss encounters... The first three chapters will be available at Early Access launch, and more are planned to be released in future updates.

For players looking for freeform battles, the game's Arena mode, already acclaimed by the community of Demo players, promises exhilarating battles. In this mode, teams of three Champions face each other, capturing objectives or eliminating their opponents to grab enough victory points. Those interested in online competition can face other players in matchmaking, while others looking to have fun solo can challenge an AI with several levels of difficulty.

"We're excited to announce that Skygard Arena will be launching on Steam Early Access in just a few weeks," said Alexandre Colin, Co-Founder & CEO at Gemelli Games. "The feedback we received during Steam Next Fest was incredible, and with this new trailer, we wanted to highlight the best aspects of the game, showcase our new content, and invite even more players to dive into tactical battles with the Champions of Skygard."

Crafting your ultimate squad is key in Skygard Arena. Assemble a team of three Champions (from nine and more to come throughout Early Access), choose one of their two distinct Personas that modify their gameplay experiences and skill sets, and adapt their power with game-changing Artifacts. Thousands of possibilities await to customize your squad to suit your strategy.

Engage in tactical skirmishes where every decision counts: position your Champions wisely, choose the perfect moment to unleash all your actions in one turn and turn the tide of battle in your favor. Compete for control of Pillars to gain strategic advantages, or risk everything with a bold assault on your opponent's Main Pillar for an instant win. Every turn is packed with dynamic choices as you reposition your team with dash skills, strategic movements, or teleportation to outmaneuver your opponent and secure victory!
