What to study
Same HUD, different arena: the circular platform replaces the hex grid, and a heart-shaped ability effect fills the centre where the grid lines used to be. The VS panel, team portraits and health bars do not move or restyle, so the player recognises the mode from the chrome and reads the arena change from the floor alone. Frame at about 99s in the Final Closed Beta Gameplay Showcase (YouTube). Pre-release footage; the Final Closed Beta begins November 25, 2026 and the game launches spring 2027. A Work in Progress / Subject to Change watermark is visible in the frame.
