On: June 14, 2023
Who amongst us doesn’t like a present-to-near-future navy shooter with 254 gamers per server, autos, plane, watercraft, and a role-based class system set on destructible maps? Definitely not us, which is why we referred to as BattleBit Remastered some of the fascinating shooters popping out this yr.
That point is now, because the blocky-yet-detailed $15 shooter will hit early entry on Steam this week on June 15. The discharge follows a ton of time in betas from its indie builders SgtOkiDoki, Vilaskis, and TheLiquidHorse. At $15, BattleBit would not even should be all that good as long as it is at the least a little bit comical, however based mostly on the discharge date trailer (above) and a while with the most recent beta check… it really could be fairly good.
BattleBit Remastered helps 32v32, 64v64, and mammoth 127v127 matches. Gamers deploy as certainly one of 5 classes with certainly one of 45+ customizable weapons to battle on huge near-fully-destructible maps with dynamic day and evening methods. It’s going to allow you to take management of tanks, helicopters, transports, and boats to battle it out. It is a extra tactical game at smaller scales, however the huge fights are pure and scrumptious chaos.
In some ways, BattleBit Remastered appears like an alternate actuality model of the current day Battlefield sequence, one which focuses on destructibility and high-lethality gunplay alongside mixed arms—reminding me greater than something of Battlefield 2. That is additionally, after all, an alternate actuality where DICE stopped caring about graphical constancy to give attention to clear silhouettes and issues breaking apart actual good once you shoot them with a tank cannon.
That target the damaging setting and map modifications over time additionally means a give attention to efficiency. The builders cite quite a lot of issues we anticipate from high-performing FPS video games. Stuff like code that is “exhaustively optimized for prime frames-per-second gameplay,” and “sturdy, esports-grade anti-cheat measures and energetic moderation.” BattleBit additionally guarantees “proximity-based voice chat for real-time communication with friendlies and enemies” and netcode with “excessive tickrate efficiency.”
The builders additionally say that they “presently haven’t got plans to introduce microtransactions.”
You could find BattleBit Remastered on joinbattlebit.com and on Steam, where it’s going to launch in Early Entry on June 15, 2023 for $15.
