Banned #3 Is Out Now — The Hardcore Stakes Keep Rising

The third book in Banned by Michael Atamanov is officially released, and Arthur’s fight for survival has never been more brutal.

Once a top player unfairly erased from a virtual world, Arthur returned under a new name and chose the harshest path possible: Hardcore mode, where death is final. As Dog of the Forgotten Pack, he shattered expectations, punished enemies, and carved his legend in a ruthless sandbox.

Now, in Book 3, the pressure reaches its peak. Hunted by hitmen in the real world and forced to constantly change identities, Arthur is running out of time—and options. The Newbie Contest in Celestial Blades is nearing its final stage, and victory will demand everything: broken rules, moral compromises, and dangerous gambits.

With his accelerated experience gains fading, the fate of the Pink Foxes team rests entirely on Dog of the Forgotten Pack. To reach the top five, he’ll have to risk it all once again.

Hardcore gaming, relentless action, and no second chances—Banned #3 raises the stakes higher than ever.
