Paris, France, September 11th, 2024 – Independent developer Gemelli Games announced today that their fantasy turn-based tactical RPG Skygard Arena is set to launch on Steam in 2024. In Skygard Arena, players lead their team of Champions in fast-paced tactical battles with strategic objectives. Unleash your creativity when assembling the optimal team with 1 million combinations of Champions, Personas and Artifacts that shape your playstyle.

Watch the Skygard Arena Official Announcement trailer:

Centuries after a cataclysm caused by the greed of the Ancients shattered the world of Skygard, five factions now battle across floating shards in the sky, vying for a mysterious crown from the Ancients. As the factions have their champions clash at the Grand Tournament for this powerful artifact, questions arise: Will it bring peace, grant ultimate power, or does it harbor its own dark intentions to reclaim Skygard?

Delve into Skygard Arena’s story-rich PvE campaign spanning across five epic Acts and 25 meticulously crafted missions, uncovering the mysterious history of Skygard. Along the way, expand your roster by unlocking new Champions, discovering multiple Personas and collecting powerful Artifacts—all of which combine to create a truly unique playstyle.

One of Skygard Arena’s standout features is its multiplayer PvP mode, offering intense 15-minute 1v1 matches. Build custom teams and outwit your opponent in fast-paced skirmishes designed for both casual play with friends and competitive ranking. With a focus on skill, Skygard Arena ensures a fair PvP experience with no pay-to-win mechanics, creating a level playing field for all players.

Crafting your ultimate squad is key in Skygard Arena. With over 1 million possible combinations, you can assemble a team of three, from 12 unique Champions, each with two distinct Personas that modify their gameplay experiences and skillsets. Amplify their power with game-changing Artifacts: Will you equip your Champion with the Crimson Gem to unleash a wave of Bleed effects on your foes, or opt for the Iron Chains to cripple their movement? The possibilities are endless as you customize your squad to suit your strategy.

Engage in tactical skirmishes where every decision counts: position your Champions wisely, choose the perfect moment to unleash devastating ultimate spells and turn the tide of battle in your favor. Compete for control of Pillars to gain strategic advantages, or risk everything with a bold assault on your opponent’s Core Pillar for an instant win. Every turn is packed with dynamic choices as you reposition your team with dash skills, strategic movements, or even teleportation between controlled Pillars to outmaneuver your opponents and secure victory!

“We’re delighted to announce that Skygard Arena is coming to Steam in 2024,” said Alexandre Gemelli, Co-Founder & CEO at Gemelli Games. “Fans of tactical RPGs can look forward to immersing themselves in a world where creativity and strategy will take center stage. With the vast amount of variations available, players will have the freedom to create their own unique strategies and the ultimate team for their ideal gameplay experience. We can’t wait to see the creative ways players will dominate the Arena!”
