Under Control Event (March 17-23)

🔒 Hold the Line. Lock Down the Depths 🔒

This week's feature mode is all about teamwork, positioning, and tactics. In Control, you'll need to hold critical zones, lock down objectives with shields, and stop enemies from taking over your territory. With a guaranteed first round of Control each match, the master tacticians will rise to the top this week.

🎁 The giveaways are still going strong on Discord! This week, we're giving away FREE Slicks Character Packs! Join the community and zip through the seas in style 😎

In the spirit of our featured mode, we also have some new Control-centric achievements debuting this week:

    🛡️ Control Conqueror 🛡️ The Best Defense... 🛡️ +1 Hidden Achievement (SPOILER: Eleventh Hour)

You might have also noticed an update on Friday, which contained some major performance improvements across the board. If you were having trouble loading the game on a previous version, try giving it a spin now - there's room in the arena for everyone!

Some more exciting news: We've teamed up with Alienware Arena, who have set up a quest to earn ARP by playing Tidal Shock for at least 1 hour this week. Check it out here, and stay tuned later this week as we roll out more new content with our friends at Alienware.

Meanwhile, on our Discord Server, the people have spoken: Deathmatch O2 is out, and Depthmatch is in! We'll be updating everything and pushing out the updated content later this week.
We also kicked off our first Saturday Night Dive event over the weekend, with our developers duking it out with the community for and awesome night of games. We'll be doing this every weekend, so don't forget to check it out and dive in this coming Saturday! You can sign up on Discord.

🌊 Stay cool, and stay in control. See you in the arena!
