SPECIAL SEASONAL BROADCAST FROM YOUR BELOVED HOST!

Heptic Arena · published 19 Dec 2025, 16:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Vox here, with a very special message that the producers are telling me is contractually mandated, but I am delivering it with completely genuine enthusiasm.


You may be thinking, surely the galaxy’s deadliest game show doesn’t pause for something as pedestrian as ‘seasonal celebrations’. And you’d be absolutely correct! The Arena never sleeps! 

But even I, a being of pure charisma and optimal entertainment algorithms, must acknowledge the time of the year and the season is here. 

Whether you’re celebrating on the Cynos Alpine hunting grounds with pack-based festivities, lurking in Kortagan temples contemplating warrior glory, suffering magnificently in Yerosh’s underground cities, or calculating optimal celebration efficiency in Gomidesh, you have my gratitude for a transcendent season.


Take time to regenerate with your loved ones, and share quality time with family and friends free of dismemberment. And presumably all of your organs in all the correct places (cherish that while you can). Spend time with loved ones, who won’t broadcast your agonizing defeats to billions of viewers across the known universe. 

From the bottom of my synthetic heart-equivalent, I wish you my warmest seasonal regards. And PLEASE keep watching… my continued existence depends on it.

From the Production Team:

From all of us here at Heptic Arena, to you, we wish you happy holidays. May your aim be true, your reflexes sharp, and your escapes with the Relic successful. Stay tuned to our social channels for some exciting announcements coming in the new year! 

Join our Discord community and share your holiday celebrations with fellow competitors from across the galaxy.
