The Arena expands.

Stage 3: Frozen Protocol is now available and unlocks after clearing Stage 2.

Step into a frozen battlefield where control is no longer guaranteed. Ice-covered terrain introduces slippery movement, forcing you to adapt your positioning and rethink every dodge.

But the environment isn’t your only enemy.

New enemy behaviors reshape the battlefield:

  • Some enemies move faster on ice, turning frozen zones into high-risk areas

  • Others can transform snow into ice, dynamically altering the terrain mid-run

  • New enemy types and elites add fresh pressure and synergy with the environment

This update also includes:

  • New winter-themed enemies (including snowman and walrus)

  • New enemy traits and archetypes

  • Improved enemy pathing and collision fixes

  • Separate wave configurations for better stage variety

  • New achievements for the Winter Stage

  • Additional polish, fixes, and gameplay improvements

The deeper you go, the more unstable—and unforgiving—the Arena becomes.

Can you maintain control when the ground itself betrays you?
