Combat Arms is preparing the Slaughterhouse with a new showcase video.

The video gives a first look at the Slaughterhouse map, coming to the game next week, on April 18. Slaughterhouse is aptly set inside a meat packing plant, and offers clan-on-clan warfare in a search-and-destroy mode. The video also hints at another upcoming content update.

The April 18 update will also introduce the Clan Ladder system, where clans can now earn ladder points and get matched up against equally ranked clans. Once the system finishes testing, an official clan battle system will begin.

Combat Arms is published by Nexon, which also publishes Dragon Nest and Sudden Attack.

Slaughterhouse, set within the bloody confines of a meat packing plant, provides players with the opportunity to put their teamwork skills to the test with clan-on-clan warfare with an explosive ending. The video released today also hints at new content coming for "Combat Arms" players later this year.
Also launching on April 18 is the first incarnation of the Clan Ladder System, where clans can acquire ladder points, rank up and get matched against opposing clans around the same rank. An official clan battle season will commence once the Clan Ladder System completes its beta period.
