A World in Conflict In the year 2028, tensions boil over in the remote Tarkhos Province. The fragile ceasefire between NATO-backed Global Intervention Corps (GIC) and the insurgent Red Vostok shatters as full-scale war ignites. The fight isn’t just for territory—it’s for dominance, ideology, and survival. Dive into a variety of game modes, from traditional Team Deathmatch and Free-For-All to the unique and nerve-wracking Blackout Raid . In this night-time elimination mode, you'll rely on night vision, sound (like footsteps) and pure instinct to outsmart your opponents in a no-respawn, no-killstreak environment. Choose your path with a distinct class-based loadout system that prevents overpowered 'meta' builds. Specialize as a heavy-hitting Support , a nimble Assault , a patient Sniper , or a close-quarters Engineer , each with a unique set of weapons and tactical pros and cons. With a fully reworked progression system, every match you play contributes to unlocking new weapons, emblems, and cosmetics. Experience a game where every detail matters—from the enhanced weapon SFX and immersive audio to the optimized maps with improved lighting and post-processing.

Game Modes Relictus: Blackout features a growing roster of modes designed for different player mindsets and levels of intensity: Skirmish (FFA) : Solo survival in its rawest form. Every combatant is your enemy. Contact (TDM) : Classic team-on-team warfare. Secure the highest kill count through discipline and coordination. Blackout Raid (Elimination) : Squad-based, one-life-per-round tension. When you’re down, you’re out—until the next round. Dynamic Battlefields Mirzov District (Night) – Shadowy urban alleys with flickering lights and sudden ambushes. Dravon Estates – Suburban strongholds and open courtyards under fire. Tarkhos – Vehicle lanes, industrial chokepoints, and strategic rooftops. Drelsk Ridge – Mountain warfare with long-range sightlines and dangerous flanks. Core Experience Relictus: Blackout is a gritty, dark, infantry-focused multiplayer FPS that strips away arcade excess and replaces it with uncompromising realism and tension. Choose Your Side : Join the disciplined GIC or the relentless Red Vostok. Each faction has unique operators with distinct visual designs and gear reflecting their culture, training, and battlefield philosophy. High Replayability : Thanks to a blend of operator variety, dynamic maps, and multiple game modes, no two matches ever feel the same. Host Your Own Servers : Players can run dedicated or peer-hosted matches, set their own rules, tweak map rotations, and cultivate unique communities. Progression Without Paywalls : No battle passes. No pay-to-win. Earn your progression through gameplay alone. Unlock cosmetic options, insignia, and operator gear by playing and winning. Why Relictus: Blackout Stands Apart Authenticity at Its Core : Weapons feel weighty and lethal, movement is deliberate, and firefights are fast and decisive. Operator Identity : Choose from visually distinctive operators for each faction, representing the ethos of their side—from GIC’s high-tech tactical gear to Red Vostok’s rugged, scavenged combat rigs. Built by Players, for Players : Server hosting, custom rule sets, and clan support mean the community shapes the war. No Fluff, Just Grit : No fantastical gadgets, no out-of-place cosmetics. This is modern warfare stripped to the bone. Dynamic AI Bots : For training or filling servers, bots act aggressively and unpredictably, offering both practice and challenge. The War Continues In Relictus: Blackout, there are no safe zones. Every match is another chapter in a war without end. The GIC fights to stabilize the province and maintain global order. Red Vostok seeks to burn that order to the ground. Your role is simple: pick a side, gear up, and survive. This is not a war for glory. It’s a war for survival. Relictus: Blackout — The darkness has a name.
