'Active Matter' Is A Tactical Hardcore Shooter Coming To PS5, Xbox Series X|S And PC In 2025, Accepting Closed Beta Sign-ups - Screens & Trailer

Active Matter is a new mind-bending tactical hardcore shooter set in a fractured multiverse.

Active Matter is a realistic, hardcore shooter that blends PvPvE and PvP elements with authentic weapons and gear. It is set in a bizarre, chaotic world inspired by SCP lore. Active Matter randomly displaces objects from alternate timelines into quantum-unstable zones and allows players to replicate items from other timelines when in a safe area on their own base. The arsenal in Active Matter is based on real-world military technology and tactics, with war seemingly the only constant across the multiverse.

You’re an operative stuck in a time loop, always brought back from the dead to the same point. Choose your loadout and enter quantum unstable zones rich with active matter – the most valuable and the most dangerous resource in all multiverse. Fight against rivals from other timelines, survive physics-breaking anomalies and try to stay alive. Harvest active matter, gather loot and extract to a safe place before the whole zone ceases to exist with everything inside it.

Active Matter changes things and bends space and time, so you might encounter operatives and other survivors that lost their mind and humanity after exposure to this substance. Other players, though, would always be your most dangerous enemy. Expand your syndicate base, upgrade your arsenal and participate in fierce battles between syndicates over the key sources of active matter, as they’re your only chance to break out of the loop and gain control over your destiny.


The Closed Beta Test of Active Matter is planned for 2024 at Gaijin.Net, and players are welcome to sign up at the game’s official website to ensure they do not miss this opportunity.

Key Features:

  • PvPvE extraction-style raids: Players go solo or in small squads inside the quantum unstable zones in their quest for active matter and other loot. Active matter can be harvested by killing AM-transformed creatures, taken away from other players or picked up directly from active matter clusters. Join this never ending hunt to improve your chances to find the way out of the time loop.
  • Realistic weapons and gear: Active matter randomly brings things from other timelines to the quantum unstable zones and allows you to replicate a specific item from other timelines in the safety of your base. Despite the mysterious origin of your weapons, your arsenal is always rooted in real-world military technologies and tactics, as war seems to be the only constant in this chaotic multiverse.
  • Gameplay-influencing active matter effects: Mind-bending anomalies that change gravitational force and space topology right in front of your eyes. Thrilling encounters with eerie SCP-inspired objects would send shivers down your spine, and creatures transformed by active matter would attack you on sight. 
  • Intense PvP battles: Syndicates of operatives fight over control of a passive source of active matter, using all the weapons and other gear they can bring into battle or craft on site. Join PvP battles you like and make a real impact on the fate of the multiverse!
  • Fascinating maps: Battles take place at locations that exist outside of space and time boundaries. Active Matter features a variety of maps, including a huge island with rusty Soviet industrial complexes and cryptic science labs that were among the first to study this new phenomena. Explore these places to find hints on the origin of active matter.

Active Matter is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam), scheduled for 2025.
