Game. No yearly sequel.
Two bloodlines. One shooter.
What if the two greatest
eras of FPS had a child?
We took what made the golden-era classic and the modern military shooter legendary, kept the best of each, and left the noise behind.
Early 2000s
The golden-era classic
- Raw, skill-based movement: strafe, lean, jump, read the map
- Community-run servers and a real server browser
- Mods, custom maps and clans that kept it alive for 20 years
- Realism rulesets and bullet penetration
- Server admins, call votes and your own rules
Late 2000s
The modern military shooter
- Tight, responsive gunplay and readable recoil
- Custom loadouts built before the round
- One-life Search & Destroy as the competitive core
- Clean kill feed, hit confirmation and minimap
- Parties, squads and quick matchmaking
The child
RETAKE
Not a remake. Not a clone. Our own game, standing on the shoulders of the classics.
- Classic movement feel, with presets that recreate the era
- Modern gunplay, loadouts and Search & Destroy
- Dedicated servers, LAN, direct IP and a server browser
- Anti-ESP fog of war and server-side rewind
- Community mods and feature voting
- One game, supported and improved instead of replaced every year

Core pillars
Built for competitors
Open matchmaking
No hidden skill rating, no rigged lobbies. Queue solo or with your squad, matched on ping, region and input. Then play the match the way it falls.
Fog of war vs. ESP
The server decides what you are allowed to know. Enemies hidden behind walls are never sent to your client, so a wallhack has nothing to draw.
Server rewind
Your shot is judged against where the target really was on your screen, within a strict time window, and then the server validates it. Fair for high and low ping.
Dedicated servers
Official 128 Hz servers plus community dedicated servers, LAN hosting, direct connect and a real server browser. Your clan, your server, your rules.
Built for mods
Community content has a first-class home: a separate modded server pool, signed content packages and clear trust badges. The classics lived for decades on mods. So will this.
You vote the roadmap
Features are proposed, discussed and voted on with the community. Alpha and beta players directly shape what gets built next, and what gets cut.
Interface
Clean. Readable. No clutter.
From squad lobby to in-match menu, the interface stays out of your way. Strong contrast, fast status reading, nothing you don't need.
Interface and art shown are work in progress from development builds and concepts.
