The new Arena mode will allow you to play on your own, online multiplayer PvP, and a Hot Seat mode where you pass the controller for local gameplay. It also allows you to play some traditional modes like Classic Deathmatch, Kill th e King, and more. Let's take a look at what those are.
Arena Mode contains two game modes, the Classic Deathmatch – where players are pitted against each other until only one remains – and Kill the King – where each team must protect a VIP from death. These modes can be played on 13 maps that have been optimized for tactical turn-based combat and includes five brand new arenas. Each map contains three different types chests that can be looted during the fight, such as a Destruction Coffer that contains destruction scrolls, a Control Coffer that contains control scrolls, or a Source Coffer that contains powerful spells.
The revamped Arena Mode also introduces Mutators, which can give skills or change parameters during Arena battles. For example, during Round 2, the Movement Mutator gives magical wings to all Heroes, allowing them to travel long distances, and during Round 7, the mutators initiate Sudden Death, reducing the health of all Heroes to the minimum levels. Mutators, along with a number of other parameters, can be customized by the host.

Keeping that August 31 release date in mind for this new content, it should be noted that this is the release date for the game on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
