The game Debellum has launched a beta version on Android, giving players the chance to try the free arena fighting game on MegaETH for the first time. The game combines a “battle royale” mode with fast top-down fighting-style combat in short mobile matches. iOS and desktop versions will arrive shortly after the closed beta testing that began in May.
The team announced the launch on its official X account on November 3, 2026. “The beta is live,” the studio wrote, inviting players to “be among the first in the arena.”
Android is the first platform launched at this stage. The team confirmed that iOS and desktop versions will arrive soon, but exact release dates have not yet been disclosed. Players on other devices can join the waiting list on the official Debellum website.
The Android beta followed a smaller closed test conducted earlier this year. Debellum opened closed beta testing of the mobile version on May 18, 2026, marking the first playable build of the game outside internal development.
At that stage, access was limited to selected players. iOS testers joined via TestFlight invitations sent by email, while Android testers used a dedicated Google Play link provided by the team. The closed beta featured several maps with different combat settings, as well as in-game currency, hinting at a broader in-game economy.
Soon after testing began, Debellum made it into our roundup of PvP games that pay players, where it stood out as one of the most promising mobile fighting games in development. The studio took a community-driven approach, using early player feedback to fine-tune the combat system, balance, and performance. Now that the beta is open on Android, a much larger number of players can test the game and help shape its next updates.
What is Debellum?
Debellum positions itself as a “reimagined battle royale” built on a simple idea: “Cute characters, brutal battles.” The game combines a battle royale mode with fighting game elements in compact top-down multiplayer matches. Anyone who has played Brawl Stars will recognize the format immediately.
Players drop onto small arenas with chibi-style characters rendered in low-poly graphics and fight their way to the finale. Cover and obstacles play an important role, so positioning matters just as much as accuracy. In most rounds, the outcome is decided in the final minutes, when the last surviving player or team wins.
The controls are designed for touchscreens. Movement is on the left side of the screen, while attacks and abilities are on the right, so no controller is required. The game supports both solo battle royale matches and team battles, and session length is designed to be short, which is convenient for mobile devices.
The world behind the story has its own twist. In Debellum’s lore, warriors at the peak of their power are torn out of their own realities and thrown into a multiversal arena they never chose to enter. The arena itself is described as alive, with maps that change between battles. In this world, death is not the end, because the show must always go on.
Built on MegaETH
Debellum runs on MegaETH, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain that positions itself as the first real-time blockchain. The network claims a throughput of over 100,000 transactions per second, block creation time of less than 10 milliseconds, and settles on the Ethereum network.
That speed matches the demands of a live-action game. Fast arena matches generate a constant stream of in-game events, and a high-performance network is intended to handle that kind of activity without slowing down gameplay. MegaETH uses ETH as its gas token.
The game is free, and players can start playing without buying anything. Debellum also supports NFTs, which are integrated into the in-game economy and reward system.
