OVERTAKE has kicked off the Closed Beta of The Red One: Occultation, a third-person multiplayer shooter developed with Unreal Engine 5.
This testing phase, scheduled from December 13 to 17, 2024, will allow players to experience for the first time a Mars-based title that combines survival, tactical combat, and teamwork. The game introduces the extraction shooter mechanic, where each mission requires participants to survive alien encounters, complete strategic objectives, and secure valuable resources.
Players will take on the role of BLISSIS mercenaries tasked with protecting “The Red One” and overcoming waves of alien enemies. In addition to environmental threats, rival teams will also compete to complete the missions in a hostile setting. Each match promises a high level of tactical challenge and team coordination.
OVERTAKE: Reward System
The Closed Beta features an exclusive reward system, including a $10,000 USDC prize pool. Of this amount, $7,000 will be awarded to the top players on the leaderboard. While $3,000 will be given for user-generated content, where players can record their gameplay and submit it for evaluation. Additionally, participants will receive an exclusive TRO skin, which will never be re-released. And the top players will have the opportunity to earn a rare collectible called “Chosen One POP.”
OVERTAKE has established a global schedule with times adjusted for various regions, ensuring accessibility for players worldwide. There will be two daily sessions over the four days of the Beta. Each day will offer a limited opportunity to play the game, with only ten matches in total.
This launch is part of OVERTAKE GameFest 2024. An event that introduces new mechanics and formats within the Web3 gaming ecosystem. The possibility of earning “Gems,” a virtual currency that can be used in future events and releases on the Immutable platform, was also announced.
