Early details outline matches for up to 100 players. The playable area contracts over time and contact with the barrier eliminates the player.
Ripple Effect is leading development. The team will share more about modes and systems with the trailer and launch notes. Based on what we already know the game should launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. For context, Battlefield 6 launched on October 10 on the same platforms.
