This trailer for Crytek’s Arena of Fate is painful

‘Achieved with CryEngine’

Ooh boy. This trailer for Crytek’s “action-packed online multiplayer game” Arena of Fate sure is something. First impressions are important and that grating narration doesn’t leave a good one.

Looking on the bright side, I will say I dig the premise of famous historical and fictitious characters fighting each other. But unfortunately for Arena of Fate, it’s going to take much more than that to have a real impact in the crowded MOBA scene. Talk about an uphill battle.
