The Arena, also known as Magmarena, is the 14th map added to Gorilla Tag. It was introduced during the Bear Hug update on February 7, 2025. Arena is the second map to be directly connected to Forest.
Description[]
In The Arena, players engage in a team-based game reminiscent of handball. However, there's a twist: if you grab the ball, you can't move freely as if you were slowed down by tag resistance. The ball changes color from red to blue every 5 seconds. If the ball's color matches your team's color, your team can pick it up and throw it. Teams compete against each other, aiming to score the most points.
Trivia[]
- The Arena is one of the few maps in Gorilla Tag to have a built-in gamemode.
- Due to the unique gameplay mechanic, players who are carrying the ball can't move freely, mimicking the effect of being tagged.
- The ball changes color between red and blue periodically, adding a layer of strategy as players can only pick it up and throw it if the ball matches their team's color.
- The Arena is the only map, apart from the rotating map Nucleus, to not have any ambience or music.
- the Arena was likely made for a tribute to the super bowl lix.
- The color code for the red team is 933. For blue team its 079.
