Active Matter Combines Extraction Mechanics and Sci-Fi Horror for September Release
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Active Matter launches on September 15, bringing an extraction shooter that merges tactical gunplay with reality-bending sci-fi horror.
Developer Matter Team and publisher Gaijin Network Ltd are bringing their upcoming tactical shooter Active Matter to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on September 15. The game blends the high-stakes extraction loop of titles like ARC Raiders with the familiar first-person gunplay and tactical operator designs of Call of Duty, wrapped inside a bizarre sci-fi apocalypse. According to recent reports from GameRant, the project is already turning heads on Steam as it climbs the platform wishlists.
The game sets itself apart through its unique setting, which draws clear visual and thematic inspiration from Death Stranding. Players navigate unstable zones filled with reality-bending anomalies, gravity-defying movement mechanics, and monstrous entities that echo Kojima Productions' BTs. This surreal backdrop contrasts sharply with the grounded, real-world weaponry and tactical gear available to the playable operators, creating a distinct atmosphere for the PvPvE combat loops.
Publisher backing from Gaijin Network, known for War Thunder and Enlisted, points to strong technical execution and polished visuals out of the gate. Early access builds have already been circulating through the publisher website without plans for a global server wipe at launch, giving a dedicated segment of the community a head start before the official cross-platform release next month.
