Zynga Enters The MOBA Genre with Dota2 Inspired Game Solstice Arena
Not long ago Zynga expressed their interest of entering the MOBA gaming space. For those of you who don’t know what MOBA stands for, it means for Multiplayer online battle arena. Think of DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) and you’ll get the clear picture. Their new game is entitled Solstice Arena and this new game will be heading over to Android and iOS respectively.
As a treat, Zynga has already run a limited release for iOS folks in Canada, and New Zealand indicating that the Android version of the game is soon under wraps for both platforms.
In Solstice Arena, people will be able to compete in other countries. It is pretty much your typical MOBA in which two teams will be fighting together in a map with an overall objective of destroying each other’s bases in the process of eliminating other players. Solstice Arena features a 3-vs-3 matches made by players from all over the world by infiltrating other player’s bases.
Players will be able to select from one f the five available disciplines and these include Sun, Moon, Earth, Iron and Void. Once you manage to pick and customize your hero, your now ready to head on to battle. Maps are pretty much patterned with many MOAB games as there are multi-lane maps that you and your character to set forth to gain money, purchase upgrades and experience to level-up. Zynga does plan on keeping the game alive by continuously bringing updates with new heroes, skins, maps and a lot more.
As of right now, we don’t have the exact release ate on when the game will hit, but we are sure that it will support cross-platform gameplay from a wide variety of devices from PC/MAC to mobile devices. You can check out this juice gameplay trailer.
