Skygard Arena, developed by Gemelli Games, will leave Early Access on September when the full 1.0 version launches on Steam.
The release brings a wealth of new content. A new Champion, Seraphine, joins the roster with two Personas, Angel and Avenger, each adding fresh strategies to the battlefield.
Her Throne Room also arrives as a new PvP arena. Players can expect Steam achievements, a new intro cinematic, and expanded language support with German and Traditional Chinese added at launch. Eight new Relics raise the total to 80, further broadening build options.
Skygard Arena is designed around fast-paced, tactical skirmishes that last about twenty minutes.
Players form teams of three Champions, each with two Personas, and complement them with Relics to create varied playstyles. Success depends not only on combat but also on capturing objectives, gathering orbs to charge ultimates, and redeploying units strategically.
At 1.0, the game includes ten Champions, five factions, Katia, Crimson Empire, Clouds Clan, Guardians, and Silver Kingdom, and a single-player campaign with thirteen missions and twenty-six side quests. Online play supports ranked and casual 1v1 battles, while an AI opponent offers four difficulty levels for offline matches.
The soundtrack, composed by Raphaël Joffres, runs for ninety minutes and is available both as a Steam DLC and on streaming services.
Skygard Arena first entered Early Access in November 2024. After a year of updates and refinements, the 1.0 release in September will mark the completion of its roadmap, delivering both expanded content and polished features for solo and competitive players alike.
The tactical RPG will launch its 1.0 version on September 18, 2025, on PC via Steam, priced at $14.99. A 35 percent launch discount will be available during the first two weeks, reducing the price to $9.74. Below are more details about the game and the release date trailer.
