Late to the early 2017 new hero train is better than never, and today Stunlock announced plans for a new melee hero: Raigon.
On Wednesday 15th February, Stunlock Studios releases an additional new champion to their popular arena brawler, Battlerite. Raigon is a flexible melee character, skilled in two-handed swordsmanship and martial arts. He was a well-respected figure among the kingdom’s warriors, until he was exiled due to the manipulations of Pestilus. For now, the arena serves as a decent place to find work and set the wheels in motion for his retaliation. |
Also, mark your calendars for the biggest Battlerite tournament to date, Enter the Arena, with qualifiers on Feb. 19th and a tournament the weekend of Feb. 25th:
ENTER THE ARENA “Enter The Arena is the perfect event for kicking off the competitive scene and showing off the game's potential in Esports.
