Block N Load Unveil New Character Skin

Block N Load, the online multiplayer shooter from Jagex, has introduced a new skin for the character of Nigel. The hero’s makeover is available to use immediately for anyone who has purchased the Fully Loaded Edition of Block N Load. Old School Nigel’s arrival in the game coincides with the latest map rotation for players to battle across and sees the arrival of two new arenas, The Last Bastion and Shuko Style.

Block N Load: Fully Loaded Edition is available to pre-order now and provides instant access into the game’s current beta. Alternatively you can visit the official Block N Load website and grab a beta key!

Jagex have offered the following descriptions for the new maps:
The Last Bastion
Two massive fortresses face off against each other with only a muddy pool and a single bridge to link them. Sniping from on high, charging over the bridge, or tunnelling underground to cause panic amongst the enemy; how you wreak havoc is entirely up to you! This is a vast battlefield for larger-than-life characters, and at this scale setting up small forward bases is crucial!

Shuko Style
O.P. ‘Juan’ Shinobi isn’t the only character that’s right at home on this brand new arena! Building bridges or jumping from platform to platform provide just some of the alternative routes for you to utilise as you take out the enemy’s generator cube. Clever placement of radars will also warn your team of flanking attacks while well-placed, hidden turrets can mow down enemy attackers before they get your base.

The arrival of Old School Nigel and the new maps represent the most recent update to be released during Block N Load’s beta. Block N Load: Fully Loaded Edition is available to pre-purchase for the special promotional price of £15.40 until 12th February on Steam.
