QUByte Interactive, both developer and publisher, has officially announced that Extinction Rifts has entered its closed playtest phase. This period is vital for gathering player feedback, allowing the team to refine the game and craft an experience that resonates with a wide range of players. The playtest will serve as a key step in ensuring that the final product delivers an engaging and polished experience.

Extinction Rifts is a fast-paced first-person shooter inspired by classic PlayStation 1 shooters. The game challenges players to achieve high combos in each level by mastering shooting, special items, and the protagonist's powerful punch. Players must strategically use these abilities to progress through levels filled with relentless enemies and obstacles.

Set in a dystopian future, the game's story revolves around mysterious monoliths that have suddenly appeared on Earth, causing widespread fear and uncertainty. As debates arise over their origins and potential dangers, a paramilitary terrorist group called Novo Mundo seizes control of five of these monoliths. Their goal is to harness the power of these artifacts for the selective extinction of humanity.

Players take on the role of a hero tasked with stopping Novo Mundo's plans by using a powerful tool called the Adreno-Gauntlet. This gauntlet, essential for destroying the monoliths, becomes the key to Earth's survival. Players must locate and destroy all five monoliths before humanity faces a catastrophic fate.

As the closed playtest progresses, player feedback will be crucial in shaping the game's future, ensuring that it provides both thrilling gameplay and a compelling narrative.
