Launching later this week with our 1.11 update: an epic, free new map…
Marked by Archimedes’ colossal tribute to the god Apollo, the Isle of Delos is haunted by madness. Within the belly of this wonder, lies an enormous forge ready to consume any who try to stoke its flames.
Archimedes’ Furnace will feature play with Team Favor of the Gods 4v4, Match of Champions 8-player, and Capture the Flag. This is the map we’re certain you’ve been waiting for.
This map has a Steampunk feel, deadly spike traps, and lots of hot metal. We’ll stop there and let you discover the rest of the mayhem for yourself.
Guess what? We’re not done yet! We’ve got a pretty killer multiplayer surprise included with the 1.11 update that’s going to give you a chance to bring an extreme dose of nostalgia into the arena. Here’s a hint.
Gauntlets drop tomorrow, and there’s a second set of 6 on the way this September. Go forth and conquer, and make sure to follow us on Twitter and visit our site for weekly updates.
