Blizzard 於今（30）日正式宣布《鬥陣特攻》遊樂場推出全新模式「死鬥模式」，分為「自由混戰」與「團隊死鬥」兩種，以及全新死鬥專用地圖「蓋亞爾城堡」。同時，台灣暴雪娛樂將同步舉辦《鬥陣特攻》死鬥對決社群賽事，預計於 9 月 1 日（五）中午 12 時開放報名。
死鬥模式的基本規則為擊殺敵人即可獲得一分。在自由混戰為 8 名玩家相互廝殺，直到一名玩家率先獲得 20 分為止；團隊死鬥則是由兩支 4 名玩家組成的隊伍對戰，直到其中一隊獲得 30 分為止。值得一提的是，不論在哪個模式下，若玩家死於地圖的環境傷害（例如摔下懸崖）則會倒扣 1 分。
同時，新死鬥地圖「蓋亞爾城堡」將適用於「自由混戰」模式。它座落在法國東南部的安錫附近，數百年來，此處為聲名顯赫的蓋亞爾家族所有，但在革命後的幾十年間，隨著蓋亞爾家族的權力日漸凋零，這座城堡也年久失修。蓋亞爾城堡最近有了新主人，因為利爪組織的特務奪命女已回到家族古老的家園。
另外，因應死鬥模式的推出，台灣暴雪也同步舉辦社群競技賽事「死鬥對決」，預計在 9 月 1 日開放報名，比賽將與以往不同，沒有同伴、沒有救援，你將隻身奮戰，玩家只能選擇一位代表你的英雄參加自由混戰死鬥模式。欲知更多賽事詳情與報名方式，請鎖定官方部落格。
