About This Game

A World in Conflict

In the year 2028, tensions boil over in the remote Tarkhos Province. The fragile ceasefire between NATO-backed Global Intervention Corps (GIC) and the insurgent Red Vostok shatters as full-scale war ignites. The fight isn’t just for territory—it’s for dominance, ideology, and survival.

As an operator in the GIC or an Agent of Vostok, you’ll deploy into hostile territory to conquer or liberate Tarkhos. Engage in gritty, modern-era combat across war-torn districts, desolate ridges, and fortified industrial zones. Every bullet counts. Every step is dangerous.

Game Modes

Relictus: Blackout features a growing roster of modes designed for different player mindsets and levels of intensity:

  • Skirmish (FFA): Solo survival in its rawest form. Every combatant is your enemy.

  • Contact (TDM): Classic team-on-team warfare. Secure the highest kill count through discipline and coordination.

  • Blackout Raid (Elimination): Squad-based, one-life-per-round tension. When you’re down, you’re out—until the next round.

Dynamic Battlefields

  • Mirzov District (Night) – Shadowy urban alleys with flickering lights and sudden ambushes.

  • Dravon Estates – Suburban strongholds and open courtyards under fire.

  • Tarkhos – Vehicle lanes, industrial chokepoints, and strategic rooftops.

  • Drelsk Ridge – Mountain warfare with long-range sightlines and dangerous flanks.

Core Experience

Relictus: Blackout is a gritty, dark, infantry-focused multiplayer FPS that strips away arcade excess and replaces it with uncompromising realism and tension.

  • Choose Your Side: Join the disciplined GIC or the relentless Red Vostok. Each faction has unique operators with distinct visual designs and gear reflecting their culture, training, and battlefield philosophy.

  • No AI-Generated Slop: Every weapon, map, and texture has been crafted with human hands for authenticity. The only AI you’ll see are the in-game bots—used for training, server fill, or large-scale battles when human numbers aren’t enough.

  • High Replayability: Thanks to a blend of operator variety, dynamic maps, and multiple game modes, no two matches ever feel the same.

  • Host Your Own Servers: Players can run dedicated or peer-hosted matches, set their own rules, tweak map rotations, and cultivate unique communities.

  • Progression Without Paywalls: No battle passes. No pay-to-win. Earn your progression through gameplay alone. Unlock cosmetic options, insignia, and operator gear by playing and winning.

  • Pure Infantry Combat: No vehicles, no killstreak gimmicks. Just boots on the ground, bullets in the air, and the kind of tension that makes your hands sweat.

Why Relictus: Blackout Stands Apart

  • Authenticity at Its Core: Weapons feel weighty and lethal, movement is deliberate, and firefights are fast and decisive.

  • Operator Identity: Choose from visually distinctive operators for each faction, representing the ethos of their side—from GIC’s high-tech tactical gear to Red Vostok’s rugged, scavenged combat rigs.

  • Built by Players, for Players: Server hosting, custom rule sets, and clan support mean the community shapes the war.

  • No Fluff, Just Grit: No fantastical gadgets, no out-of-place cosmetics. This is modern warfare stripped to the bone.

  • Dynamic AI Bots: For training or filling servers, bots act aggressively and unpredictably, offering both practice and challenge.

The War Continues

In Relictus: Blackout, there are no safe zones. Every match is another chapter in a war without end. The GIC fights to stabilize the province and maintain global order. Red Vostok seeks to burn that order to the ground. Your role is simple: pick a side, gear up, and survive.

This is not a war for glory. It’s a war for survival.

Relictus: Blackout — The darkness has a name.
