About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Relictus: Blackout is a grounded, tactical multiplayer shooter designed for players who crave a focused and intense combat experience. Combining the fast-paced action of classic shooters with deliberate, class-based gameplay, Relictus puts strategy and skill at the forefront of every match.

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.

Dive into a variety of game modes, from traditional Team Deathmatch and Free-For-All to the unique and nerve-wracking Blackout Raid. In this night-time elimination mode, you'll rely on night vision, sound (like footsteps) and pure instinct to outsmart your opponents in a no-respawn, no-killstreak environment.

Choose your path with a distinct class-based loadout system that prevents overpowered "meta" builds. Specialize as a heavy-hitting Support, a nimble Assault, a patient Sniper, or a close-quarters Engineer, each with a unique set of weapons and tactical pros and cons.

With a fully reworked progression system, every match you play contributes to unlocking new weapons, emblems, and cosmetics. Experience a game where every detail matters—from the enhanced weapon SFX and immersive audio to the optimized maps with improved lighting and post-processing.

Key Features:

  • Intense, Class-Based Combat: Master four distinct classes, each with a unique role and loadout.

  • Old-School Progression: Level up to unlock new weapons, calling cards, and cosmetic items.

  • Optimized & Polished: Enjoy a smoother experience with reworked gunplay, improved AI, and visually enhanced maps.

  • Streamlined Experience: Less clutter and more focus on core gameplay, providing a clean and engaging UI.

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.

  • 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.

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.
