ABI Associate Producer Dave takes you through the Arena Breakout Infinite 2025 Roadmap, sharing exciting new content and development plans for the year ahead. Focus on enhancing gameplay, introducing new modes, and refining existing systems based on community feedback. Here’s a detailed look at what players can expect in the year ahead:
New Game Modes
One of the key highlights of 2025 is the introduction of several new game modes designed to diversify the gameplay experience.
Secure Ops Mode
In this mode, players won’t lose their gear upon death, making it ideal for those who want to explore the map or play casually without high stakes.
Competitive Modes
Familiar formats like Elimination and Team Deathmatch will be added, but with unique twists that fit the Arena Breakout Infinite universe.
Solo Mode
After numerous community requests, a solo mode will be introduced as an experimental feature in the next update. While it may not solve all issues related to team-based gameplay, it aims to offer valuable insights and a different style of play.
New Map: Northridge
A brand-new map called Northridge will soon be available. This expansive map offers a variety of gameplay experiences:
- Outskirts: Perfect for quieter exploration.
- Northridge Hotel: The central point of the map, designed for high-stakes combat.
In addition to Northridge, new story content and bosses will be added to further immerse players in the world of Kamona.
Weapon and Equipment Updates
Players can look forward to an array of new weapons and equipment in 2025. Furthermore, dynamic mechanics will be introduced to keep matches fresh and unpredictable.
Gameplay Improvements
Several gameplay enhancements are in the works to improve overall player experience:
- Spawn and Extraction Point Optimization: Better placement of spawn and extraction points to reduce frustration.
- Player Count Balancing: Adjustments in the number of players per match to maintain fairness.
- Sound Accuracy: Improvements in sound design to provide clearer and more predictable audio cues during combat.
- Thermal Nerfs: Thermals like T7 will be nerfed further by removing their ability to see through scopes, aligning with both realism and gameplay balance.
Addressing Toxic Behavior
Toxic behavior has been a key concern for the community, and the developers have outlined steps to mitigate these issues:
- Friendly Fire Adjustments: Throwable weapons will deal reduced damage to teammates, and stricter penalties will be applied for intentional team harm.
- Loot Stealing: The team is actively discussing measures to address loot stealing and similar toxic behaviors.
Quality of Life Improvements
Several QoL features will be introduced to enhance the overall experience:
- Backpack Management: New features like auto-rotating items and auto-stashing high-value loot will make inventory management smoother.
- Reduced Movement Inertia: Controls will become more responsive by minimizing movement inertia.
Skins and Monetization Overhaul
The developers are also making significant changes to skins and monetization systems:
- Weapon Skin Customization: In future updates, skins will automatically apply to all attachments, ensuring a seamless look.
- Simplified Monetization: Current monetization features like membership and keychain perks will be merged for a more streamlined experience. These changes will not affect current paid players, and compensatory measures will be provided to ensure fairness.
- Gacha Mechanics: Based on player feedback, direct purchase options for melee weapons and gun skins will be introduced in the next update.
Ammo Balancing and Strategic Combat
High-caliber ammo, such as M61 rounds, has been a controversial topic in the community. To address this, the developers are implementing noticeable nerfs to certain types of ammo. The goal is to create more balanced engagements where players can reposition, scout, and strategize without being taken down too quickly by overpowering weapons.
Dynamic In-Match Events and Achievements
The developers are working on adding random dynamic events and an achievement system to enhance replayability and reward player progression.
Future Map Expansions and Weather System
To improve spawn diversity, future maps will be larger and feature more varied spawn points. Additionally, a weather system has been implemented, and more dynamic in-match events are planned to influence gameplay and pacing.
Conclusion
As the first PC title from MoreFun Studio, Arena Breakout Infinite has been a learning journey filled with challenges and growth. The development team remains committed to listening to player feedback and delivering a game that balances hardcore realism with rich quality-of-life features.
Stay tuned for more updates, and may 2025 bring success, breakthroughs, and good fortune to all Arena Breakout Infinite players!
