Happy Holidays, Gladiators!
This festive season, we bring you new challenges, powerful gladiators, and legendary treasures to make your battles even more exciting. Thank you for being part of our community—may your arena victories be as joyful as the holiday cheer!

Not only Blackthorn Arena, but also another game developed by our studio, Age of Reforging: The Freelands, will also be launching a huge free update during the Christmas week! The update will be on sale for a limited time together with Blackthorn Arena during Winter Sale!
