Overview
- NCSoft and Guerrilla officially revealed the game with pre‑alpha footage at G‑Star 2025, confirming PC access via Purple plus iOS and Android, with no PS5 version announced.
- Players create their own machine hunters and share the Deadlands with thousands of others in large-scale cooperative hunts and competitive clashes over resources.
- Combat adds MMO‑specific systems including Pullcaster climbs onto damaged parts, trap setting with status effects, and picking up machine‑dropped weapons to carry on mounts.
- There is no release date, though NCSoft executives said on a Q3 2025 earnings call the game could arrive in 2026 or early 2027, noting timing is not final.
- The reveal followed a leak of promotional assets and a publicly accessible video link, and early reaction includes criticism from PlayStation fans over the lack of a console release; monetization has not been detailed, with some reports describing it as free‑to‑play.
