- Ultimate Arena update is officially cancelled - 29 December 2022
It is with a heavy heart that I have to officially announce the Ultimate Arena big update cancelled. I regret to inform you that due to a lack of commitment from two of the developers it is no longer possible to continue developing content for the game. A very difficult decision was made by me to completely halt development, since the key people who were supposed to be working on the project aren't able to do so anymore. The process of working on the big update was rocky and inconsistent and I was looking at a drawn out process which in the best case scenario would have ended with a bare-bones build consisting of only one level.

Since we are few and we are working on the game in our free time, it's impossible to say how long it will take to complete, and it would be dishonest to give you an estimate right now. All of this work takes plenty of time and effort to finalise and that is why, as mentioned above, only a rework of Hall will be included with the first update, with more levels to come later on. Working on somethi…
