'Genesis' (PS4) Celebrates 600K Downloads With New Content Update

Genesis is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) optimized for controllers, where players will jump into an epic battle between the gods and mankind across a futuristic world.

The control system brings a breath of fresh air to the genre on consoles, making navigation more intuitive, precise and effective. On the one hand, players will benefit from built-in automation features such as an innovative targeting design. On the other hand, a controller is the ideal device to offer additional convenience features which include releasing directional skills, blinking, or quickly switching between abilities and items. 

Besides the controller-based approach, Genesis is a MOBA that covers every desired aspect. The right tactics will make the difference between victory and defeat in the competitive Player-versus-Player (PvP) battles. Here, teams of five fight for control of the galactic battlefield to win glory, new weapons and equipment. With a rich roster of 28 original heroes, countless character customization options, and a single-player story mode (PvE), there is a seemingly endless amount of possibilities for players to explore. Additionally, another highlight is the co-op conquest mode, where two local players share control of the same hero!

Last but not least, developer Rampage Games will bring stunning visuals to their consistent Sci-Fi world through the power of the Unreal Engine 4; offering one of the most beautiful and detailed MOBAs on a console platform.

Five weeks and over 600.000 downloads after its initial release, developer Rampage Games have rolled out their first content update for Genesis. The update introduces a new battle pass system, a unique two-player hero and most importantly, ranked mode, as well as many gameplay improvements.

Of Heroes and Champions

The freshly added Genesis Pass lets players unlock exciting new challenges and gain exclusive items in Season 1. Obtainable rewards include stunning new skins, special heroes, powerful weapons, additional avatars, and many more permanent items. The Genesis Pass consists of two parts: The Champion Pass and the Hero Pass. To unlock the Season’s full potential, players can use Energy Credits, which is the game’s premium currency, to acquire the Champion Pass. This pass grants access to all challenges, offering the most amount of rewards. The Hero Pass is available to all players free of charge. It contains a wide range of powerful rewards including the unique new Hero Mitch and Cuth.

Mitch and Cuth

Genesis provides players with a plethora of choices when it comes to heroes. Hailing from different races, factions and planets, a total of 27 heroes were already available when Genesis was first released. With the latest update Rampage Games delivers number 28 - the most unique hero to date: Mitch and Cuth is a hero controlled by two players at the same time.

Ace drivers of the Road Rage Club and reigning champions of twelve consecutive championships, brothers Mitch and Cuth rose to fame through this deadly yet lucrative event. Both heroes excel at different abilities, making it extremely tough to lane against them. To make use of Mitch and Cuths’ full skill set, players will have to work as a team. Each player will have command of four distinct skills. While Mitch is powering up his self-detonate ability, Cuth will have to fight off enemies and protect Mitch from danger.

Ranked Mode

As Genesis has been available for over a month now and players have had time to familiarize themselves with the heroes, their skills and abilities it is now time to introduce ranked mode! There are 7 tiers in ranked mode and they are: Cadet, Ensign, Lieutenant, Commander, Captain, Admiral and Grand Admiral. Once players reach Lieutenant, they will receive some sweet rewards for progressing through the ranks - keys for loot crates, amazing looking skins for heroes, all of those are within the player’s reach. Of course, the higher they climb, the tougher the competition.

Key Features:

  • Competitive 5v5 gameplay
  • Fast-paced Sci-Fi theme with mechanics and robots
  • High-quality visuals through the power of Unreal Engine 4
  • PvP, PvE-boss fights, and more
  • Collaborated mode: 2 local players control one hero

Genesis is available for PS4 and is free-to-play.
