Ubisoft has announced that AirMech Arena, its free-to-play battle arena mash-up, is now available on PS4 and Xbox One (an Xbox Live account is required for Microsoft's platform).

In AirMech Arena, players control powerful transforming weapons, known as AirMechs, to protect their bases and overtake enemy fortresses. Gamers will collect up to nine available AirMechs, each with its own unique abilities, and command them to deploy defense units from the air or transform into ground mode and engage armies on the front line. As they gain experience, they will earn kudos (in-game currency) to unlock upgrades, new units and pilots to expand their collection and customise their appearance with exclusive skins and effects.

Here's what you get to play in either solo or online:

• PvP mode: Allows for up to six competitors to face off in 3 vs. 3 battle (as well as 1 vs. 1 and 2 vs. 2) and gives them the freedom to initiate skirmishes at any time.
  
• Co-op mode: Teamwork is vital, partner with players to defend their bases against the powerful AI.
  
• Survival mode: Up to four players match up against an endless wave of enemy attacks.
  
• Challenge mode: Focuses on solo gameplay, which tests your skills in timed trials.
  
• Spectator mode: Gives players the opportunity to view each other’s matches and see the top competitive players in action.
