Aeria Games’ latest MMO, Scarlet Blades, has just announced a wide array of PVP features that will be present in the game and its now becoming clear that this ‘mature’ MMO is not for the casual once-in-a-while gamer.

Since recently ending a very successful closed alpha test, Aeria Games has revealed the strong focus Scarlet Blades will have on PVP. According to the developer, 1V1 PVP will be an ever present staple in the game with massive backgrounds that will add a new level of epicness to combat.

Scarlet Blades will also include a sprawling open world PVP zone that will also players to group up and compete to take down large bosses for rare loot items. If you thought regular combat was bloody, wait until you throw enemies together and force them to work together while making sure that no one else gets the reward at the end; that’s a lot of backstabbing. A much larger PVP zone is already planned for the game’s first major content update, along with a new 6V6 arena format.

If large-scale battles are more your style, Scarlet Blades will also offer a 30V30 map titled ‘Janus’ as well as an 80V80 map titled ‘Turnpike’, with more maps being planned post-launch. By killing others, players will be rewarded with Rank Points as well as the ability to turn in player dog tags for loot, unique emotes, and high tier PVP gear.

As with all Aeria Games titles, Scarlet Blades is free to download and free to play, so really…you don’t have a reason not to try it.
