During the Limited Preview of Volta-X held on Steam earlier this month, we promised anyone that picked up the full game after participating in either of the two early play sessions would get an exclusive skin for our beloved elephant, Sheldon. Some of you have asked just how you get your hands on that skin. All you have to do is keep reading to find out just what we need from you to make that happen.

If you played Volta-X’s Beta or Limited Preview on Steam and then purchased the game on that very same Steam account, you don’t have to do anything. We’ll send your exclusive skin through the in-game messaging system. If by chance you didn’t get it yet though, please reach out to us through direct message on our Twitter at @voltaxgame.
If you played the Beta or Limited Preview on Steam, but decided to purchase Volta-X on the Nintendo Switch, we’ll need you to provide some information.

Take part in Volta-X's thrilling real-time strategy battles as you try to climb the ranks of the World Volta Association. Make opponents tremble at the sight of your mighty Volta, customized to your exact specifications for victory. Strategy in battle is key as players manage firing off weapons and commanding their team of Volta pilots to power-up weapons, repair their Volta, or extinguish fires. It takes quick reflexes and strong decision-making to take down your opponent in the game’s fast-paced combat.

Engage with your crew through dramatic story moments, and get to know them better in your customized headquarters. Players can customize their headquarters with research facilities to create specialized equipment and construct rooms to relax in such as the cinema and garden to help the pilots get the most out of their day. Portions of the story mode and the headquarters will be available during the Limited Preview, as well as 1-on-1 battling against other players.

Players who participated in the previous Beta event will also be able to return without requesting a new code, and will retain all progress already unlocked.

This limited time Beta will create the first opportunity for all players to customize their own gigantic robot called a Volta, jump into battle against others online, and get a first look at the story mode.

Volta-X is a real-time strategy RPG where players control a crew of animal pilots working together within a giant Volta mech to battle other Voltas and monstrous Kaiju in both PvE and PvP fights. Strategy in battle is key as players manage firing off weapons and commanding their team of Volta pilots to power-up weapons, repair their Volta, or extinguish fires. It takes quick reflexes and strong decision-making to take down your opponent in the game’s fast-paced combat.

But there’s more to Volta-X than just robot combat. There is also a full single-player campaign as well as the pilots’ headquarters for players to build and manage. Players can customize their headquarters with research facilities to create specialized equipment and construct rooms to relax in such as the cinema and garden to help the pilots get the most out of their day. Portions of the story mode and the headquarters will be available during the Beta, as well as 1-on-1 battling against other players. Join us on the battlefield and prove your mettle as a pilot! We look forward to seeing if you have what it takes to dominate the World Volta Association.
