Future Games Show GC 2025: Active Matter

Active Matter is apparently the substance that bends time and space. I’m pretty sure that isn’t quite what Tamás Vicsek had in mind when he crafted his model of Swarm behaviour, but why let actual science get in the way when you’re busy creating a completely unique videogame that definitely doesn’t look like it probably had the working title “generic extraction looter-shooter number 81”.

The unique concept here in Active Matter (the game, not the stuff) seems to be that amongst all the squad-based firefighting, sometimes things are on the ceiling, or there’s wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff floating around. It’s coming to Steam, the Xbox Series, and the PlayStation 5, as well as Gaijin’s own storefront in 2025. If you can’t wait that long though, then you can join the closed beta via the website you can find in the trailer above.
