Crytek's Arena of Fate Announcement Trailer

Crytek, of Crysis game, have released this announcement trailer for their upcoming Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) title Arena of Fate.

You control famous characters of mythology, legend and fairy tale, making them fight 5-v-5 in an arena. Characters such as Norse mythology's Fenrir, Edison-hater Nikolai Tesla and guilible-to-wolves' Red Riding Hood.

Crytek say the game promises combat easy enough for newbies but nuanced enough for veterans, though no word on what the combat will entail. The only word is on Joan of Arc's character profile, which states she can heal members of the party - whether the others will only have weapons or spells is still unknown.

There is also no word on which system/s it will hit, nor a general release date. However it is likely to be at E3, so we await word in a few weeks.

Until then, you can sign up for the beta at ArenaOfFate,com
