Active Matter is a new shooter on Steam, in which time and space act crazy and strange anomalies will scare you.
What kind of game is this? Active Matter (PC, PS5, Xbox) is an upcoming extraction shooter with PvPvE, in which you are stuck in a time loop. In the time loop, dying does not provide a “rescue” either. If you die during a raid, you return to the same point on the timeline.
To escape the time loop, you must collect the so-called “active matter.” You gain it by harvesting it at a gathering or by killing transformed creatures. You can also take the valuable resource from other players if you defeat them in PvP.
However, the active matter is not only your way out of the time loop; it also bends time and space, and there are changes in gravity in the shooter. In the trailer, you can see people walking on the ceiling of a room.
Overall, you must survive various anomalies in Active Matter, fend off transformed creatures made from active matter, and fight rivals “from other timelines.”
The shooter gameplay, despite the crazy setting, is designed for realism, and the arsenal is supposed to be based entirely on real military technologies.
What do we know about the release? Active Matter currently has no release date. However, the shooter is set to be playable on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 at launch.
The shooter is being developed by the studio “Team Matter,” and the publisher is Gaijin Entertainment, which is also the publisher of games like War Thunder, Enlisted, and Crossout.
What does the community say about the game? The first trailer evokes mixed feelings in the comments on YouTube. There is, for example, criticism of the graphics and animations, some players find it reminiscent of Enlisted, which is also published by Gaijin.
Others find the trailer interesting. One user comments: “It looks so cool and creepy.” Another writes: “A bit freaky, but very interesting.”
The majority of the comments, however, joke about the publisher. One of the comments is: “The snail has come up with something creepy.” The “snail” refers to Gaijin Entertainment, as the “G” in Gaijin’s logo represents a snail.
