And a shout-out to any server owners/providers looking for something new to run: In preperation of the release, the Ragnarok Arena developers would like to get a handful of servers going. If you're interested, please give me a shout at ackart@ragnarokarena.com

See you on Friday!

We here on planet EDE have been working pretty hard over the last fe months to produce a new version of Ragnarok Arena from the ground up. Faster, easier to play, much more entertaining and rather close to a first release. We also have new media for everyone to oogle.

Now, for a time-frame. While I don't want to make the mistake of setting a specific time and missing it, I am confident in the team's ability to get the first version out the door around the time everyone is either blitzed or hung over from New Year's. Of course, we could use your help! If you enjoy special recognition and breaking things, we are currently looking for beta testers! Please see this thread for more information.

From your friends at Exploding Dog Entertainment, we wish you Happy Holidays, and we hope to see you at New Years for some Sidescrolling Multiplayer Action.

As you can probably tell, RagnarokArena.com has recently received a face lift to coincide with the new mod's development.

Ragnarok Arena is a sidescrolling multiplayer shooter developed on the Source Engine, famous for it's use in Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and multiple other games. Gameplay is brutal and fast paced, with realism being thrown to the side in exchange for adrenaline-fueled arcade action. Relive the joy of playing in the style of older titles like Mega Man, Contra and metal Slug with friends in eye-popping HD, and with a new control scheme custom-tuned for a keyboard and mouse.

To celebrate this glorious event, why don't you go and check out our new media?
