Active Matter

Sci-fi setting

A sci-fi extraction shooter in which you play an operative caught in a time loop, entering unstable zones full of physics-warping anomalies, looting and fighting rivals, and escaping before the zone collapses.

ARC Raiders

Sci-fi setting

A tense third-person extraction shooter where you scavenge a machine-ruled future Earth for loot. Every other Raider you meet might become an ally or a threat. A striking 70s-inspired retro sci-fi look gives the world a strong atmosphere.

Marathon

Sci-fi setting

Bungie's extraction shooter drops you as a cybernetic Runner, solo or in a crew of three, onto the mysterious world of Tau Ceti IV to grab loot and fight rival players for a successful escape. Its bold, graphic-design-driven sci-fi aesthetic sets it apart from typical military shooters.

Risk of Rain 2

Sci-fi setting

A frantic 3D roguelike shooter where random items stack into absurdly powerful builds while the difficulty relentlessly ramps up over time. Fight across a hostile alien planet solo or with up to three friends in co-op.

EVE Vanguard

Sci-fi setting

An upcoming sci-fi first-person shooter set in the EVE universe, where you deploy to hostile planets to fight, scavenge and survive. Your actions feed into a player-driven universe at war.

Natural Selection 2

Sci-fi setting

An asymmetric multiplayer shooter pitting marines against aliens, with a commander on each side running the match like an RTS from above. Teamwork, map control and sharp aim or agile alien movement decide every round.

Evolve Stage 2

Sci-fi setting

An asymmetric 4v1 multiplayer shooter where four hunters with distinct roles track a player-controlled monster that must evolve and evade them. Teamwork and cat-and-mouse play are at the core.
