New biome: the Arctic realm (WIP)
The northern realm is home to a vast frozen lake above which to whiz; villages are located on airships crashed and embedded in rock walls, and the elevated areas are plagued by perennial blizzards that blur the vision of any rider who travels through them.
Brave riders who choose to cross the icy realm are sure to run into the fearsome Barbarians! The battlefields are among the most diverse: from graveyards of ruined airships, to moors battered by snowstorms, to winding forests of bare trees.
Even the outposts are mostly in the hands of the Barbarian clans, who, being thirsty for blood and steel, have also established massive fighting arenas, taking advantage of the morphology and features of the terrain on which they are erected.

STORY The kingdom of Zeranthia, following the War of Wheels, is subjugated by the Emperor, but combat vehicles have spread throughout the realm: be the first driver to change history! The campaign features a fully explorable strategic map from which missions can be carried out to advance the story. "Outposts" of different types are scattered throughout the map, where you can purchase or build new weapons, recruit your own units and modify your vehicle; you can also participate in the Gladiator Games at the Arenas.

Some cities offer the chance to challenge other fighters in Gladiatorial Arenas, but numerous battles await you throughout the realm: you'll face fierce marauders in epic pitched battles or in the winding ruins to determine who gets the Aether.

Arena: Gladiator Games
After the conclusion of the bloody War of Wheels, there were numerous regions where general discontent spread; the Emperor of Zeranthia therefore instituted spectacular gladiatorial games, where daring war pilots could fight with their own vehicle in dangerous arenas.
The first arena established by the empire is that of Galvinor, whose statues and colonnades reflect the grandeur of the Empire; it consists of an upper floor, reachable via large ramps, and a lower floor, in the center of which is the enormous and sumptuous lion tower.
Each battle is played between 8 war drivers who face each other within the time limit; the arena, full of ramps to speed along and obstacles to avoid (or destroy!), is also littered with fearsome traps, such as explosive barrels or fiery mouths of fire.
Following the success of Galvinor's gladiatorial games, similar structures are springing up across the kingdom: each arena features unique paths and characteristic elements, as well as varying depending on the territory in which it is located.
