Our epic new Visual Redesign has arrived, marking the start of a new era of Mech-crushing chaos! 🦾

It's been two years since Mech Arena brought its unique brand of Mech-based mayhem to the world. 🌎

The game has grown and evolved over that time, as has its audience. So today, we're proud to bring you our Visual Redesign: a cooler, more mature look for the game aimed at hardcore veterans and new players alike. 🆕

Here's a list of the graphical improvements we've made:

◾ Mechs: We've changed the default model for the majority of Mechs - many with an entirely new design. All new default models can be recolored with Paint Jobs, just like the originals could. We're even adding a batch of new Paint Jobs, so you'll have more choice of color scheme than ever before. If you've got a soft spot for the old models, not to worry - they're still in game as Classic Skins, although they can no longer have Paint Jobs applied.

◾ UI Updates: We've reworked the way that Mechs, Weapons and Pilots are displayed in the UI. All the important info and stats have shifted to a single block on the right, giving the displayed item space to shine. Finally, we've added a YouTube button for most Mechs and Weapons, so you can easily check out their Spotlight Videos.

◾ Hangar Update: The Hangar's had a fresh lick of paint too, providing an impressive backdrop for your new, better-looking Squad. Note that the backdrop will remain from the current Event, until it’s replaced in a future one.

◾ Content Acquisition UI: We've updated how items and resources are displayed when you receive them as drops, with clearer representation of multiple drops in particular.

◾ Title Screen: We've remade the screen that's displayed while the game loads, featuring many of our spectacular new designs.

◾ "Mech Arena" Map: The iconic Control Point Clash map has had a visual overhaul to match the game's new style.

◾ Red: Erika "Red" Redding - one of the original cast of Pilots - has a badass new look. She'll also pop up in-game with important information from time to time.

Alongside the action-packed Events we've run recently (watch this space for more of those soon), the Visual Redesign marks a new era for Mech Arena. We'll be expanding the game with more awesome Mechs, lethal Weapons, unique Pilots and spectacular Maps for your battles, tied together with themed Events that enrich the Mech Arena world. Your feedback is essential to us, so please do let us know what you think. 💭

That said, get into the game, have fun, and bask in the glorious new eye candy! We'll see you in the Arena. 😉
