The Open Alpha Multiplayer is Here!
The biggest focus of development over the past few months has been getting Firehawk ready for multiplayer. The base is now in place and we want your feedback!
Here's how the multiplayer rollout is planned:
Phase 1 : Private Alpha (Discord testing) Complete
Testing the technical quality of the multiplayer mode: does the tech behind flying and shooting each other feel good and play well? We also gathered early feedback on which game modes players find most fun.
Phase 2 : Open Alpha. We are here!
A collection of the most popular game modes and community suggestions in their raw form. This phase helps us learn which modes you enjoy most, so we know where to invest development time. Includes dedicated server support for the biggest regions.
Phase 3 : Open Beta
A more tailored and polished experience, leaning heavily into the most popular modes discovered during the Alpha.
Phase 4 : Full Multiplayer Release
The big launch, featuring proper matchmaking and a final competitive mode (we hope to one day break into esports). This will release alongside our Co-op Survival mode!
Available Game Modes
Death Race : Be the fastest to complete 3 laps. Shoot and block your rivals as you race for the finish line.
Domination : Capture the Domination Point by flying inside the sphere, then defend it from the enemy team.
Bounty Hunter : Capture the starting point to become the bounty and rack up points. Hunters score nothing, so dodge and weave to stay ahead and win.
Free For All : Straightforward chaos: one massive battle, everyone for themselves.
Team Deathmatch : Grab your friends and dominate the opposing team.
Gun Game : Show your all-round skill. First to get a kill with all 15 weapons wins — but don't crash, it'll set you back!
Capture the Flag : Guard your team's flag while capturing the enemy's.

A heads-up on bugs
We expect some bugs and unbalanced gameplay at this stage, please do call them out! Just note that they won't all be fixed immediately, unless something is blocking you from playing and giving us feedback.
For any discussion or feedback, head to the community hub, our Discord, or Answer the questionnaire you will find in the multiplayer menu.
Excited to keep building this with you.
