Eighth Era Update: Forge Hero Teams, Conquer Arena

Eighth Era's latest major update introduces player-versus-player combat and other significant enhancements. Nice Gang and Perfect Day Games have officially rolled out the new Arena mode, allowing players to challenge one another—though there is a key requirement to participate.

What’s the Requirement?

To join the Arena, you must first reach Level 9. Once you do, you can build a team from a selection of 50 heroes and engage in asynchronous battles. From now on, you’ll face real players worldwide, not just computer-controlled opponents.

The new PvP Arena mode in Eighth Era emphasizes strategic play. Each season, certain factions receive stat bonuses, making it important to pick heroes that maximize your advantage. Progressing through the Arena Leagues unlocks various rewards, and top performers at the end of each season earn substantial prizes.

The rewards are not limited to in-game items, either. High placements in certain tournaments can earn you real-world collectibles. The decision to award physical trophies demonstrates a thoughtful touch by the publishing and development teams.

And There’s More to Come

Season Two of Eighth Era launches in late April, bringing additional collectibles—including limited-edition coins showcasing new playable characters. Place in the tournament's top ten, and one of these exclusive coins will be shipped directly to you.

Alongside the PvP Arena, the update includes several quality-of-life refinements. The reward system has been overhauled, delivering improved loot from tasks and exhibits. Tournament balance adjustments also ensure a fairer and less repetitive climb through the ranks.

Finally, in an exciting collaboration, Eighth Era is partnering with the US Mint. An upcoming Era Vault event will give players a chance to win a Silver Eagle bullion coin—a genuine piece of American currency earned through gameplay.

Download Eighth Era from the Google Play Store and experience the new mode for yourself.
