AVA RE:BIRTH is an officially announced PC online FPS based on the Alliance of Valiant Arms IP, set for release in fall 2026, with a teaser site and 15-second teaser movie live.
G.O.P announced the official title AVA RE:BIRTH on August 12, 2026, confirming the project's fall 2026 release window. The name combines BIRTH to signal a new battlefield and RE to signify reproducing the excitement of the original game. The teaser movie shows the title logo emerging from darkness, with no background music, only gunfire and radio chat sounds, a deliberate choice to evoke the original battlefield experience for veteran players.
The project is described as a return to the original FPS experience, with smooth performance on older PCs. AVA began official service in 2010, set in a fictional European war between the EU and NRF factions, with up to 32 players per room. G.O.P notes the announcement is merely a prologue, with further details on new elements and the full game picture promised soon. The weekly roundup from Automaton included the announcement among seven stories, signaling a busy season for Japanese game news.

G.O.P announced on August 28 details for HUNTING FIELD, a new mode in AVA RE:BIRTH, the upcoming PC online FPS that continues the Alliance of Valiant Arms (AVA) series. The mode is an extraction shooter-style survival experience where players sortie into familiar AVA locations like urban areas and vast deserts, collect supplies from scattered crates, and contend with roaming AI soldiers and other players. Players who fail to reach an extraction portal before the time limit lose everything they gathered. Equipment acquired and upgraded in HUNTING FIELD can also be used in other game modes within AVA RE:BIRTH, creating a growth loop described as "endless" that raises the player's status as a soldier. The announcement updated the official teaser site and released a second teaser movie showing large-scale battles with helicopters and tanks. G.O.P stated that the next information release will discuss the game's balance policy, addressing whether the balance of the original AVA era can be faithfully reproduced while evolving for modern players. AVA RE:BIRTH is scheduled to launch on PC via Pmang and VFUN in autumn 2026. The original AVA service will end on October 28, 2026.
