What is confirmed
- The main published format uses three teams and up to 100 players.
- A randomized 2 by 2 km Control Zone sits inside a wider 256 km2 map.
- Players buy weapons, equipment and vehicles, while support actions can earn cash.
What this means for players
The easiest comparison is a large combined-arms objective shooter with a persistent between-match economy. It is not structured around one-life elimination or extracting loot from a raid.
Roles are player-built. Buying medical tools can make you a medic for that life; taking transport and supply responsibilities can make you logistics. The system is designed to reward useful team actions rather than only kills.
What is not confirmed yet
- The complete launch content roster.
- Final server rules and community-server timing.
- How quickly the economy and progression will be balanced after launch.
