In the blog posts Development Update - July 2023 and The Buzz - August 2023 , they both briefly mention that the Arcade and the old hub was going to be replaced by a new one.
In the development update post, it mentions that the Arcade microgames were going to be vaulted along with the Arcade.
They specifically mentioned, “We hope to revisit them sometime in the future.” This could mean that we will see them once again.
Since Hive extended the hub, there should be tons of options for places to put the microgames hub.
NPCs:
There could be a main NPC that will be standing along with the other game NPCs. This NPC will transport you to an island with the “microhub” of the microgames. This NPC will rotate between the three below.
There should be one specific NPC for each microgame.
Starting with duels, it should be a character in full iron armor, with a sword in one hand, and a bow in the other. Arrows will be on a bag on his/her back.
Next, Spleef. Spleef should have a character with a golden helmet and an iron shovel in his/her hand.
And finally, Nemo slap will be a character with (of course) a Knockback Nemo in his/her hand. They will have a diamond helmet and boots.
If Hive could add new maps for the microgames, that would be awesome! Having default arenas, like The Bridge, could get kind of repetitive in the microgames.
NEMO SLAP:
If you remember taking fall damage in Nemo slap, you won’t have to remember anymore! Adding diamond boots and a diamond helmet to the players would solve this issue, but keep the knockback.
DUELS:
Hive should add more kits to Duels! It would bring more variety and fun to the microgame! (Not much to say about duels, it’s a great microgame)
SPLEEF:
Expanding the Spleef territory would be better for the microgame, since it can be fast paced by how small the arena is.
Please don’t let this be a dupe, I searched all over the Forums and found nothing.
