AVA RE:BIRTH Launches with Hunting Field Extraction Mode as Alliance of Valiant Arms Concludes

On October 28, VALOFE officially launched AVA RE:BIRTH, a new PC first-person shooter (FPS) that serves as a spin-off to the original Alliance of Valiant Arms (AVA). The launch coincided with the closure of the original game, which had been a staple in the gaming community since its Japanese release in 2008.

Introduction of Hunting Field Mode

One of the standout features of AVA RE:BIRTH is the introduction of the Hunting Field extraction mode. This new player-versus-player-versus-environment (PvPvE) mode allows players to drop into a battlefield, gather supplies, and attempt to escape alive while competing against both AI enemy soldiers and other player squads. The mode is designed to encourage strategic gameplay, as teams must navigate the map to secure loot while fending off threats.

Class-Based Team Play

AVA RE:BIRTH retains the class-based team play that fans of the original AVA will be familiar with. The game reintroduces three classes: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper, each offering unique abilities and roles within a squad. This familiar structure provides a sense of continuity for returning players while also appealing to newcomers.

Launch Details and Reception

The launch day saw a significant interest in the game, with pre-registrations skyrocketing from 200,000 to 350,000 after the announcement of the launch date. The game was co-published by NEXUS and is available through platforms like Pmang and VFUN. To celebrate the launch, players were rewarded with limited items, including the Dark Hunter weapon series.

Future Updates and Community Engagement

VALOFE has indicated that it will continue to engage with the community to refine gameplay based on player feedback. Future updates are planned, including the introduction of clan battles and tournaments, which will enhance the competitive aspect of the game. Additionally, a cost system for weapons and armor is set to be implemented, ensuring balanced gameplay.

Conclusion

As AVA RE:BIRTH establishes itself in the gaming landscape, it will be interesting to observe how players adapt to the new features and the evolving gameplay experience. The original Alliance of Valiant Arms had been running since December 1, 2008, and closed on the same day AVA RE:BIRTH launched.
