Team Matter and Gaijin Entertainment are planning a closed beta test of the SCP-inspired game.

SCP stands for Secure, Contain, Protect, a collection of alien anomalies and related horror stories from a number of independent creators. In this game, you’re an agent stuck in a time loop that keeps bringing you back from the dead to the same point. Choose your loadout and enter quantum unstable zones rich with active matter, the most valuable and dangerous resource in the multiverse.

Battle rivals from other timelines, survive physics-disrupting anomalies, and try to stay alive. Harvest Active Matter, collect loot and get to a safe place before the entire zone and everything in it ceases to exist. Active Matter changes things and bends space and time, so you may encounter operatives and other survivors who have lost their minds and humanity after exposure to this substance. Other players, however, will always be your most dangerous enemy. Expand your syndicate base, upgrade your arsenal, and take part in the fierce battles between syndicates over the key sources of Active Matter, as they’re your only chance to break out of the loop and take control of your destiny.

Players travel solo or in small groups through the quantum unstable zones in search of active matter and other loot. Active Matter can be harvested by killing AM-transformed creatures, stolen from other players, or grabbed directly from Active Matter clusters. Join this never-ending hunt to increase your chances of finding your way out of the time loop. Active matter randomly brings things from other timelines into the quantum unstable zones, allowing you to replicate a specific item from other timelines in the safety of your base. Despite the mysterious origins of your weapons, your arsenal is always rooted in real-world military technology and tactics, as war seems to be the only constant in this chaotic multiverse. Stunning anomalies that alter gravity and space topology right before your eyes. Thrilling encounters with eerie SCP-inspired objects will send shivers down your spine, and creatures transformed by active matter will attack you on sight.

Syndicates of operatives fight for control of a passive source of active matter, using whatever weapons and other equipment they can bring into battle or craft locally. Engage in PvP battles of your choosing and make a real impact on the fate of the multiverse! Battles take place in locations that exist outside the boundaries of space and time. Active Matter features a variety of maps, including a vast island of rusty Soviet industrial complexes and cryptic science labs that were among the first to study this new phenomenon. Explore these locations for clues to the origin of active matter.

That sounds very exciting. Active Matter is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC (Steam). No release date has been announced yet. You can sign up for the closed beta here.
