Psi-punk: World's Edge Arena

Old Meets New

In the southernmost city in the world, thousands of people come and brave the unforgiving weather to watch the World’s Edge Arena, a televised bloodsport for the modern era. Thanks to the Arena’s success, the once-quiet town of Punta Arenas is now an industrious boomtown where warriors compete for prize money, entrepreneurs compete for a share of the tourism, and locals compete for the scraps of what’s left.

Whether you’re here to compete or you’re just trying to eke out a living in this rapidly changing city, one thing’s for certain: your life will never be the same thanks to the World’s Edge Arena.
