Welcome to NOZOMI/CITADEL, a stunning, fully destructible Arena split by power, purpose, and control.
VAIIYA holds one side with towering precision. CNS claims the other with unruly, iridescent chaos. Between them is a battleground that shifts from tight corridors to wide-open mayhem. From brutal architecture to reactive nature, the Arena feels as divided as the forces fighting inside it.
Here is fly-through of the map from our Lead Environment Artist, Joakim Stigsson, as he explains the inspiration behind NOZOMI/CITADEL:

WHO’S ON EACH SIDE OF THE RIFT?
VAIIYA
Defending your digital frontier.
VAIIYA is the Arena’s first and last line of digital defense. A cybersecurity titan led by CEO Sal Scoria, VAIIYA has decades of experience securing the virtual world with elite firewalls, neural implants, and a zero-tolerance-policy to compromises.
Human ingenuity meets cold and calculating machine logic. VAIIYA keeps threats in check. You couldn’t ask for a safer pair of digital hands, and, according to VAIIYA, you won’t.
Fight smart and stay protected in Season 7, VAIIYA has your back.
CNS
Seek the truth beyond the walls.
CNS is a rogue collective fighting to implement their own vision for the gameshow, and threatening to expose MultiCo and every truth the Arena tries to bury. They’ve hijacked broadcasts, corrupted systems, and left their mark on everything they touch.
CNS weren’t invited. They broke in.
This season, they’re rewriting the show from the inside, and they want you to join the fight.
Which side of the Rift will you fight for in Season 7?
This new map is so prettyyyyy
It’s so good! I love that they’re incorporating game lore into the map now. That’ll be interesting to see if they continue that trend for future seasons.
