Overview

  • Reaper Actual is a PC-based persistent shooter set on Marova, an island four times larger than Warzone’s Al Mazrah with support for up to 200 players in combined-arms combat.
  • Players can build and defend bases that AI factions and rival gamers can raid, causing territorial control to shift in real time.
  • The game features a crafting system and player-driven economy with items tradable on Steam’s marketplace or as optional NFTs via a Tezos-based Etherlink platform.
  • Distinct Possibility Studios was founded by former Sony Online and PlanetSide developers John Smedley, Matthew Higby and Trammel Isaac and has secured $30.5 million in funding led by Bitkraft and Brevan Howard Digital.
  • Entry to the pre-alpha “Foundation” test requires acquiring limited base bundles that serve as in-game homes and will be offered both as NFTs and through traditional storefronts.
