Do you like old school deathmatch with modern features but none of the frills that have ruined the raw purity of the genre? How about rich, colorful, arcadelike atmospheres? How about...retro Sci Fi? Then you're going to love what Alien Arena has in store for you! This game combines some of the very best aspects of classic deathmatch, and wraps them up with a retro alien theme, while adding tons of original ideas to make the game quite unique. Alien Arena is a furious frag fest with arenas ranging from the small, to the massive. With game modes such as Capture The Flag and Tactical, there are terrific team-based experiences to be had as well as 1v1 duels, free-for-all, and dozens of mutators to alter the game play to your liking. The community is friendly, as well as prolific. Dozens of maps, models, and various accessories have been created by community members to add on to the game experience.

Alien Arena: Reloaded Edition is set to be released in just a couple of weeks! In fact, we have begun working on the installers and are finalizing all assets and code. To help launch this epic release, we have redesigned our website, forums, and created a ton of new media.

It's been six long months since we have had a release of Alien Arena, and with good reason. We initially set out to get a new version out earlier this Spring, but dangit, we just kept wanting to do more. Four new maps? Nope, make it twelve! One new player character? How about two, plus a boatload of new skins! Did I mention that we added a new "super" weapon? How about getting jiggy with some excellent new bot AI? We pretty much hit every aspect of the game, and with force.

To help with what we at COR are considering possibly the most epic release of Alien Arena to date, we have launched a brand new website and forums at Red.planetarena.org , chock full of new media that truly gives the game some justice.

One of the most exciting features of Alien Arena: Reloaded is the new weapon, the "Minderaser". In this video, we explain how it works, and give some examples of what it can do.


We have also created two brand new player characters, the Martian Overlord, and the Martian Warrior:

Martian Warrior The Martian Overlord.

As I mentioned, there are twelve new maps included in this release, with a heavy emphasis on CTF and Team Core Assault. I will detail those maps in another news post prior to the release.

The renderer received some love as well. Some of the highlights include subsurface light scattering effects, god rays from sun objects, normalmapped oozing/dripping liquids, rain on visor effects, conditional shaders, and quite a bit more. A good amount of optimization was implemented as always, further increasing the speed of the engine and allowing for even more detailed arenas.
