Its not arena-based the entire time, most of the time will be spent on the planet itself. There is a city all within itself where the prisoners can move around and interact, use collectables to trade for items and what-not. Then there is a huge ass barrier that keeps the prisoners from entering the world of the Ebolorians, since you know...the dominant species and prisoners don't exactly live together lol

the only time we would be in the arena is for fighting purposes
