First-person survival game Nether launches its free DLC, Nether Arena, on Steam today for players who purchased the Chosen and Believer packages ($2.99 for those who purchased the Watcher package).
Nether Arena is a new game mode where players compete to be the last player alive through survival skill and elimination. Up to 16 players can battle it out in this new game mode as each player starts with only a makeshift gun and crowbar, forcing players to scavenge for resources and take down any Nether or player that gets in their way to earn rewards, such as weapons, backpacks and other survival gear.
- Maps – Duke it out with others in four new maps offering smaller, isolated areas for a faster-paced setting. Items are spawned in different locations at the beginning of every match creating a distinctive match experience each game.
- Experience – Players continue to gain experience for their account level as all experience gained from Nether Arena is awarded to their account for every match played. All account level bonuses can be used in Nether Arena to give the player a slight advantage but will still have to use quick decision-making skills in order to survive.
- Rewards – Rewards are handed out at the end of each match to the Last Man Standing as well as three additional players who’ve performed well during the match. All rewards are stored in the player Global Inventory and can be used in the regular game mode.
