Hello Valorant community !

I am Michael "HaRts" ZANATTA, a former Counter-Strike player. Some of you may know me for my world championship titles at the WCG 2007 and the ESWC 2013. Today, I am excited to announce the release of a project I have worked on as a Line Designer: Battle Core Arena.

Battle Core Arena is a competitive game that combines strategy, precision, and intense action. It’s a somewhat unique project for Ubisoft as it is "almost" independent. The concept of the game was created by three people right after graduating from their Video Game school, and Ubisoft helped them finalize the game and release it on various platforms + FREE TO PLAY.

The official release of Battle Core Arena is today, and I would be truly honored if you took the time to try it out. As members of the competitive gaming community, especially from CS (and also a little bit Valorant, but i was too old :D), your feedback is extremely valuable to us. We would love to hear your opinions, suggestions, and constructive criticism to further improve the game.

Here are some features of the game:

• Game Type: Shooter
• Game Mechanic: You control a ball with physics inspired by Rocket League.
• Objective: Eliminate opponents by ejecting them from the arena, following rules similar to those of Smash Bros Melee. Playable in 3v3 or FFA.
• Gaming Experience: A combination of strategy, precision, and intense action.

You can download Battle Core Arena via Ubisoft Connect, Steam, and EpicGames and start playing right now. Feel free to share your impressions and contact me directly with any questions or feedback about the game.

Thank you all for your support, and I hope to see many of you in Battle Core Arena!
