AVA RE:BIRTH Launches October 28 as Alliance of Valiant Arms Ends

AVA RE:BIRTH Launches October 28 as Alliance of Valiant Arms Ends

G.O.P will begin official service for AVA RE:BIRTH on October 28, 2026, the same day its predecessor Alliance of Valiant Arms ends service. The free-to-play PC online FPS is developed by VALOFE and runs on Windows through the Pmang and VFUN platforms. Pre-downloading of the game client opened on October 23 at 17:00. At launch the game adds a Trading Post for player-to-player item sales and a Battle Pass that grants rewards through play, and the build incorporates changes gathered during a closed beta test held October 1 to 7. Players pick from three classes, Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper, and modes range from solo AI play to large-scale battles holding up to 16 players. The new PvPvE extraction mode Hunting Field has squads collect supplies on urban and desert maps and try to escape. Global advance registrations have passed 300,000, enough to unlock every staged campaign reward for all players.

G.O.P also published a Winter Update Plan that runs past launch, and the details differ by patch. The first update adds an Event Shop where event currency buys rewards, including limited firearms available only there.

  • Third update: a cost system across all modes except Hunting Field, setting a cost on every weapon and armor and capping the total equipment cost a player can deploy with, to reduce matches decided by gear strength alone.
  • Clan features: clan creation and joining, a tournament-format match feature, Clan Battles between clans, and individual and clan rankings.
  • Season events: events to play with clan members, events where players can try the cost system, and Christmas and year-end/New Year events.
  • Hunting Field tuning: continued changes to enemy NPC behavior patterns and to backpack and storage convenience.
  • Interface: room list and game lobby improvements.

The 500,000-registration target carries an extra bonus of "Bad Potato[Grenade]+50,000 Euros," and advance registrants also get the customization title "One Who Knows the Battlefield." Advance registration and character name registration close October 26 at 12:00. Three game content videos are rolling out on YouTube before launch, covering Hunting Field, firearms and soldier classes, and maps and modes.
