Welcome to the Shattered Ruins!
Above the clouds, 4 teams fight for dominance across floating isles in ever-changing biomes. From the frozen arena of Frostbite to the scorched plateaus of Obsidian, no two battles will be the same. Adapt your tactics on the fly.
You will need resources to build holobridges to get across the islands faster and to buy better weapons and upgrades. Locate ores and call down miners, but watch out - the enemy team can destroy them and call for their own.
It's not just about the kill - it's about the objective too. Conquer biome altars to gain temporary team buffs depending on the individual biome.
In this reimagined Bedwars arena FPS experience, the following awaits you:
Arena FPS Movement: Master high-speed dashing, jumping, holobridge building and vertical combat across floating archipelagos.
Tactical Base Defense: Protect your teams core and launch coordinated strikes on enemy territory while having a wide list of team & base upgrades to choose from.
Dynamic Biomes: Each map is generated from a pool of varied environments, from shard forests to crystalline glaciers, each with their own flora and team buffs. You must adapt to win.
Strategic Map Control: Secure key points on the map such as biome altars, center events and higher tier resource nodes to fuel your team's upgrades and fortify their defenses. What will you choose to go for first? And what will your enemy choose?
Evolving Arsenal: Upgrade your loadout mid-match, transitioning from standard-issue gear to exotic weaponry by gaining the rarest of resources, Divinium.
From Base Defense to Sudden Death: When your core has been destroyed, you cannot respawn. You might remain alive and clutch out the match, but be careful - use this last chance wisely.
Skyward Masters is developed together with Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen; the only 5x Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major Champion on the planet! He is here to ensure that the core FPS-loop feels crisp and responsive every step of the way.
