Today, Ubisoft announced that BattleCore Arena, a free-to-play competitive platform shooter, is under development at Ubisoft Bordeaux and coming to PC via Ubisoft Connect and Steam. Playing as a spherical core, players will enter multi-tiered maps and contend with gravitational forces as they roll, dash, jump, and double-jump to outmaneuver their opponents with physics-based movement. Players will also be able to eject (or be ejected by) their opponents as they wield a multi-faceted arsenal, featuring ranged weapons for close-range impact or mid-distance power, as well as perks to help them evade danger, knock out enemies, or aid their allies.

BattleCore Arena is a PvP game with competitive modes including Backup, a 3v3 team deathmatch; Golden Core, in which possession of the eponymous Core is the path to victory; and Free-for-all, a fast-paced way to test your solo skills or warm up before climbing the ladder in ranked matches. Players can customize their core with cosmetic options for armor, lights, banners, elimination explosions, and more so they can show off their style while zipping around the arenas. If you live in Europe, you can register to participate in the BattleCore Arena tech test running from February 1 through February 5. Stay tuned to Ubisoft News for more on BattleCore Arena.

TPU editor's note—gaming communities have noticed that BattleCore Arena existed as an indie endeavor in the past. Here is an old trailer:


According to SteamDB, a previous iteration of the game was playable between 2017 and 2022.

A whole TWO maps and TWO game modes...

and 'Full customization'... of a sphere.

I can't wait!
 
I can't wait to see how Ubisoft ruins this.
 
Yeah, Siege ran better during Alpha/beta test phase than it does 5y after release,
and the the alst "rainbow" title was so good, i uninstalled without even finishing one mission.
 
That SteamDB link shows that it has been in alpha on Steam since October 4, 2017, I'm not really impressed by that.
