[New Map - Skyline Beach]
Unlike the canyon-like valley terrain or the tropical island scenery of Demon Island, Costa Del Sol is situated in hilly terrain with scattered urban and industrial facilities. Crossing the bay bridge, the northern coast boasts natural sandy beaches. Strikers have noticed that the sky here sometimes displays unusual hues, and during flights, sounds of other high-speed flying objects can be heard. Could there be a connection between these phenomena? Explore more in [Battle Royale], [Squad Fight], and [Hot Zone Showdown]!
