Creed Arena has been entered into Microsoft’s Dream Build Play 2010 competition where it will be judged against hundreds of other XBOX indie games. In last year’s Dream Build Play competition, Creed Arena was selected as one of the 20 finalists, and all these months down the track with so many fixes, additions and tweaks (partially due to all of your great feedback), we’re hoping that it will do well again!

Next week we will begin coordinating LIVE sessions for everyone to get online and have a blast! Join us on twitter or facebook to stay informed. The Creed Arena online community is growing, and our goal is to have LIVE matches running 24/7 every day of the year!

Gladiators, it’s time to die in front of thousands of spectators

There will be an update coming soon that will fix a stability bug found in the multiplayer, as well as to tweak the difficulty in the solo campaign. This update will occur automatically when you start the game.

We will post here when the update is released, as well as tweet and post on facebook, so if you haven’t already, join our twitter or facebook page!

The time has finally come! Creed Arena was released today, the first day of 2010. We are very proud to see the game finally on the XBOX Live Indie Games channel, and we’d like to thank everyone for their support and enthusiasm over the past 9 months. We look forward to playing with you all over LIVE, and we will be listening out for feedback when we come to releasing an update.

Have a great New Year’s and have fun with Creed Arena!

Creed Arena has finished development and testing. Yup! Multiplayer is in, split-screen multiplayer is in, and whole bunch of other goodies. The game is currently undergoing the final stage of approval and is expected to hit the Xbox LIVE Indie Games channel on christmas eve, so look out for it!

We will post an update here the moment it hits the marketplace!

We are currently in the process of adding multiplayer functionality to Creed Arena. This will allow gamers with XBOX Live Gold Membership to jump online and play against other gamers. The nature of Creed Arena makes it perfect for this mode of gameplay and we expect it to be very popular!

We are also currently adding some more maps / levels to the game. At this stage we are expecting Creed Arena to be released on the XBOX Live Indie Games channel on the week of December 14th, just in time for christmas!
