Anime heroes are storming the battle royale arena!

In a dynamic world of floating islands set against the sky, players will become sharpshooters with extraordinary skills, craft their own strategies and engage in thrilling, life-or-death showdowns. With specialized skills, a diverse array of innovative and original physics-based weapons and a unique open world, Fate Trigger vows to deliver a visually gorgeous and fully immersive gaming experience.

The world has been fragmented into floating islands, threatened by a spreading Paleblight disaster that could destroy the battlefield at any moment. Players are chosen as “The Awakener” and will embark on a mission to uncover the deep-seated secrets of this new world and shoot to ultimate victory. Players can also fight solo or team up while venturing into aerial battlefields, where they can scavenge, craft the best weapons, unleash their shooting prowess and dominate their opponents.

Beyond its Unreal Engine 5-powered visuals, Fate Trigger offers a deep roster of characters, each equipped with unique ultimate skills that make teamwork essential. Victory isn’t just about reflexes. It’s about strategy and finding a dynamic mix of the diverse hero abilities and skill sets you can choose from, such as rapidly building a pixel wall to tank enemy shots on the front line; cloaking your squad in a mist to confuse or lower your opponent’s defenses; keeping everyone alive as the team’s healer, or more.

Designed to reward coordinated play and skillful execution, Fate Trigger offers a plethora of opportunities that might turn the tide of battle so you’re the final team standing. For instance, players can purchase special power-ups for your armor or weapon at designated stations that offer a slight but meaningful strategic edge in combat. Plus, with engaging gameplay features like beautifully crafted floating islands, dynamic terrain, and a variety of fun in-game traversal items like gliders, hover cars, and portals, Fate Trigger offers game mechanics that not just rival but offer creative possibilities not found in top FPS titles. Players can find new angles to gain the upper hand, surprise flanks to outmaneuver their enemies, or escape danger through new routes as the playzone shrinks. 

Fate Trigger leverages Unreal Engine 5 to render 2D animated characters into 3D heroes with high precision. A custom neural-network simulator drives realistic motion for elements like hair, clothing, and character skirts, to showcase 2D characters in a way rarely seen in the genre that gives off the feeling that the characters believably come to life in 3D. This innovative approach not only enhances immersion but also enables the game to scale seamlessly to massive 100-player battles without compromising visual fidelity.

Fate Trigger not only makes for a fun title that offers high-stakes competitive fun that's easy to jump into, but also offers a playground of strategy, movement, and surprise that’s built for both skillful play and spontaneous fun. Fate Trigger is also notably setting the stage for its entry into esports, with dedicated competitions on the horizon.

Are you ready to embark on epic battles and write your name across the sky?

Saroasis Studios is kicking off the Closed Beta Test (CBT) for Fate Trigger, and unveiling its new gameplay trailer.

Brand New Characters: Fate Trigger’s CBT will unveil three all-new heroes, including the highly anticipated Bloodprowler Ryoin, a wolf animoid that can morph into a werewolf, giving him a boost of powers that allows him to move faster and jump higher during combat. In addition, two additional characters - including Crystalscar Cynric and Lootracer Mindy - will also be available to test during the CBT for a total of ten playable characters.

2. New Game Modes: The classic battle royale mode is getting an upgrade for gamers who enjoy more variety from traditional battle royales. New game modes available during Fate Trigger’s CBT will include Ranked Matches, Quick Trials and an 8v8 Team Deathmatch mode.
