Publisher Senatis and developer Reakktor Studios launched Early Access for G-Rebels on Steam on July 21. The game is a dystopian open-world combat flight simulation set in the year 2684, where Earth has been nearly submerged by a great disaster. Survivors live in floating cities and fight over remaining resources. Players join an elite unit of the strongest city-state, piloting a glider called the Skyblade. The open world spans over 12,000 square kilometers, allowing free exploration of outposts, factories, and research facilities. Players can follow the main story or earn income through mining, bounty hunting, racing, and other jobs. The game supports VR for first-person flight. Early Access is planned to last about six months, with price increases as new content is added. The launch price is 3,080 yen (tax included) until July 28, after which it will rise to 3,850 yen. Japanese language is not currently supported. The developers aim to improve performance, controls, and combat based on player feedback.
The game's story involves a conspiracy angle. After a certain mission, players begin to question whether they are fighting for justice or complicit in a massive conspiracy, according to Game Spark.
Players can hack and take over enemy control units, and even steal enemy Skyblades. The game includes upgrade elements for engines, weapons, shields, AI-controlled drones, multi-warhead missiles, and stealth devices.
Technical features include volumetric clouds with changing weather conditions, dynamic sun and moon positions with realistic day-night cycles, full world streaming with no loading screens, and real-time simulation of thousands of flying objects worldwide.
Players can earn income through jobs including mining, bounty hunting, racing pilot, bodyguard, mercenary, piracy, or as a hunter seeking lost relics. They can also participate in power struggles by conquering outposts, airfields, and power plants to increase their faction's influence.
The Early Access period is planned to last about six months. The standard price is 3,850 yen, with a 20% launch discount to 3,080 yen until July 28.
