Do not install the wrong file

People search these names together. They are not one game. PB Ranked is open in the browser now. Arena 2D’s own site, read on 3 November 2026, says the public beta is December 2026 and that there is no download of any kind: no APK, nothing for iPhone, nothing for PC. It also says the file pokemon.arena.2d.v1.0.0.apk is not theirs. Empress is a finished Windows and Android game credited to omniscye on Remakit; that write-up is a second-hand page, so the status cell says 1 source.
