#### About X8

“X8” is a VR tactical shooter in which various heroes from different shooting game franchises gather across time and space and fight each other using their amazing abilities, after a digital cataclysm has forced a reboot of all contemporary shooters. Players will compete across several maps to restore their source worlds and rebuild their path home.
 

#### About the Gameplay

In X8, players embody a variety of distinct heroes who battle alongside and against each other using interactive abilities and unique weapons. Each hero can access three abilities: Instant, Basic and Ultimate. Each character has hero-specific items offering situational advantages. Additionally, heroes can access an extensive arsenal of weapons, armor and items ​​unique to their character.
 

#### About the Game Mode

Players are divided into two teams (up to 5v5) and fight through multiple rounds where the attackers team place a detonation device called ‘The Extrapolator’ while the defenders team attempt to disrupt deployment or defuse the Extrapolator. We plan to introduce more game modes in the future.
