This Unreal Engine 4 based, highly competitive fast paced shooter provides a much haloed sci-fi experience to the genre, and is developing some unique features for the battle royale genre; a complex melee system, weapons systems from throughout time and space, teleportation, antigravity mechanics and other SciFi elements mixed in, custom game modes, solos duos and team based modes, historical specific weapons game modes, etc., as well as persistent stat tracking, viewer betting systems, and ingame loot and reward systems.

Dropping into a mystifying science fiction world, players will battle through monuments of human history recreated by an ancient alien race in massive terraformed biodomes.  Within “The Dome,” the current 4 km by 4 km map has undergone incredible updates to scenery and landscape. Age-old Roman architecture, remnants of alien structures, and luxuriously adorned mansions all now embellish the backdrop of player conflict throughout each match.  Perhaps even more exciting, the new pregame lobby areas provide anything from parkour playrooms to zero-g combat. Truly, there is something new to be found by all players from match start to finish.
