Read the patch notes for the Beta Season 3 launch update

Beta Season 3 of The Machines Arena introduces several key updates to deepen player engagement and offer new customization options.

In the fight against the Dominators, Bravo Zulu stands as a unique blend of human spirit and emerging machine.

In a world teetering on the edge of human subjugation, Tesla stands as a beacon of resistance and righteousness. Her journey from a dedicated soldier to a metahuman endowed with lightning abilities encapsulates a saga of betrayal, discovery, and rebirth.

In the challenging and dangerous world of The Machines Arena, Daye emerges as a figure of immense power and profound compassion. Once a potent weapon of mass destruction, Daye's first moments of consciousness amidst human captives ignited an unyielding empathy for humanity.

In a world overshadowed by the machinations of the Dominators, Nightcore emerges as a complex figure, a brilliant scientist transformed into a metahuman assassin.

In the twilight of humanity's struggle, XE emerges from the forges of the Dominators—a being whose very existence blurs the lines between sentient life and mechanized efficiency.

In a universe where the average Joe might struggle to set up their Wi-Fi, here's Devol—our techy who can see and manipulate digital and organic pathways. Now, being a vice-minister's daughter in a world where humans are borderline endangered species might sound tough.

In a world where robots might just swipe right to human annihilation, comes Riot! While most are scrambling for a beacon of hope, Riot's more like the streetlight that sometimes flickers but won't go out—a rugged, metahuman version of resistance with a penchant for personal profit.

In an epoch where artificial beings vie for dominion over humanity, Noble emerges as a beacon of hope—an anomaly that defies definition by 'he' or 'she' but solely by 'they/them.

In a realm overshadowed by the threat of AI supremacy, Ozymandias, with his unique understanding and methodical mind, stands as a bastion of humanity's last hope. As an electronics engineer, he once crafted and nurtured the very machines that today threaten humankind.

In the vast, digital battlegrounds where heroes and villains dance a deadly waltz, one enigma stands out, equal parts human spirit and mechanized might. She is Pyro, and her story is no ordinary tale—it's a riddle wrapped in revenge and an undying pursuit of justice.
