Active Matter Gameplay Reveal - Future Games Show gamescom 2025 - Active Matter

Active Matter is a tactical shooter releasing December 31, 2025, for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S. You play as an operative trapped in a time loop, repeatedly returning from death to the same point. The core gameplay involves choosing a loadout and entering unstable zones rich with "active matter," a substance that warps reality. Your objective is to harvest this matter, gather loot, survive physics-defying anomalies, and fight rivals from other timelines, all while extracting before the zone collapses. The game features exploration of locations outside normal space-time, including Soviet-era industrial complexes and science labs, which may reveal clues about active matter's origins.
