We're proud to announce that BattleBit Remastered is NOW AVAILABLE IN EARLY ACCESS.
Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining us today.
We’re extremely excited and proud to launch BattleBit Remastered into Early Access today!
It’s been a long journey for us, and many of you who have been around during these last 7 years of development. We’ll go deeper into the story of it all on another day, for now, let’s play.
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/33146/BattleBit_Remastered_Supporter_Edition/
Introducing the "Supporter Edition" bundle, includes the game and a fantastic collection of exclusive skins that not only amps up your soldier's look but also shows your support towards the developers. With awesome soldier customization parts and weapon skins, you'll rock the battlefield in style while expressing your appreciation for the hard work behind the game. We wanted to offer this in place of something like a Battle Pass or Microtransactions, and this will further enable us to keep everything operational.
For the uninitiated, and I’m copying straight from the Steam Page here,
BattleBit Remastered is a low-poly, massive multiplayer FPS, supporting 254 players per server. Battle on a near-fully destructible map with various vehicles!
Launch Roadmap
Intro Guide
Anti-Cheat
We’re launching into Early Access using Easy Anti-Cheat, which we utilized during our playtesting. You may remember last week that we implemented FACEIT, and we are currently exploring our options for this anti-cheat for the future and will communicate with you as things develop. However, it is not currently a part of the game. We are active and committed to maintain a fair experience for all of our community, which is why we also have a live moderation and monitoring initiative.
Twitch Drops
We’re happy to offer Twitch Drops for the first time! Make sure your account is connected. You can do so in-game and going to the Connections tab, or via browser [url=]http://link.battlebit.cloud/LinkTwitchAccount[/url]
Drops are universal, so there’s no specific Creator to watch! Drops begin today alongside launch and will run for the next 7 weeks.
The Basics
Social
We’ve put a lot of time and effort into the social side of our game. Directly from the main menu, or in-game, you can form a party with your friends using our “HOME” sidebar on the right side of your screen. The bind for this can be customized to your liking. See what servers your friends are in, send them a message, or send them an invite.
In-game Text Chat supports separate channels for All (Cross-Team), Team Only, and Squad. Voice Chat supports Local/Proximity (cross-team), Squad, and Squad Leaders.
Game Modes
We're launching into Early Access with 4 Core Modes, and 4 additional game modes.
- Conquest/Infantry Conquest - Classic zone capture in medium to large playspace
- Rush - Attack vs Defend the MCOMs in this sector-based mode
- Domination - Smaller scale, frantic zone capture, no vehicles
- Frontlines - Sector-based tug of war for a set of zones, pushing into enemy territory
These modes will likely make up the bulk of your experience. While 254 player battles and is our main aspect, we've put time into making sure that there are other ways to play, specifically less chaotic and more contained options. Community Servers (BETA) will have the option to scale down even further, and make additional tweaks to settings.
Match Size Variations
For Official Servers, you'll have the following options:
- 32 vs 32 (64 Players)
- 64 vs 64 (128 Players)
- 127 vs 127 (254 Players)
Squads
The backbone of the gameplay experience. In any team based mode, players will be put into Squads of up to 8 players. The upper limit of this becomes 12 players if forming a Clan Squad. Being a member of a squad enables the ability to choose from one of the following 6 classes each equipped with their own special gadgets.
Classes
- Leader - Designed for those who specialize tactics and strategy.
- Assault - Lead the charge into battle and clear the pathway to victory
- Medic - The lifeline of any squad, with faster revives and the ability to heal
- Engineer - Repair and destroy vehicles, structures and build fortifications instantly
- Support - Supply your team with ammo, more durability via Exo Armor
- Recon - The ever elusive long-range marksman
There’s a class for every playstyle and thanks to the variety of weaponry and gadgets available, you can find the right fit for you at any time. You can change your class on the respawn screen.
Maps & Destruction
Every map in BattleBit Remastered features destructible environments, ranging from trees, buildings, towers, platforms and more. We’ve taken care to design maps in a way that even in the most destructive matches, there will still be adequate hard cover to utilize. Use this to your advantage to create unique gameplay opportunities, make your own openings, or wipe out unsuspecting squads using hazardous map elements.
Whether you use a trusty sledgehammer, C4, or the classic RPG, there’s plenty of options available to…alter the playspace.
Vehicles
BattleBit isn’t all about infantry play, deploy vehicles onto the battlefield to turn the tides or put a whole into the enemies defenses. Make use of Land, Air and Sea options to gain the upper hand. Most vehicles are designed for multiple players to utilize, so don’t go riding off alone!
- Ground Transport
- Air Transport
- Tanks
- APCs
- Personal Watercraft
- RHIB
Customization & Progression
BattleBit Remastered uses a combination of XP/Level and Kill Based progression systems.
Character customization items will be unlocked via earning XP and increasing your overall level. This will also unlock weapons as you progress. As you become familiar with the weapons, earning kills with them will unlock attachments that you can use to create your own personal favorite build. Use the Loadout button on the spawn screen for Weapons, and the Character button beneath it for Soldier Customization.
Loadout & Character
Featuring over 39 weapons, including 5 brand new weapons releasing today, there’s no shortage of options for you to deploy into battle with. As referenced above, weapons are fully customizable with an extensive stat display so you can make informed choices about how you build your loadout. Soldier Customization supports a mix of cosmetic and gameplay.
Every soldier deploys with the following:
- Primary & Secondary Weapon
- Primary & Secondary Gadget
- First Aid (used to stop bleeding, revive others)
- Throwable
We hope you enjoy the game! Thank you all who are supporting us, playing, watching and streaming. We'll share updates as we go.
