The Red One: Occultation is kicking off its first Closed Beta Test (CBT), and you can now register to snag a spot. This action-packed extraction shooter is one of the most awaited entries in OVERTAKE’s portfolio, and the beta is set to run from December 13th to 17th.
If you’ve been itching to experience a high-stakes game set in a dystopian Martian world, now’s your chance. But here’s the kicker—there are limited spots, so you’ll need to act fast.
What to Expect in The Red One’s Closed Beta
The Red One: Occultation takes players to 2040, where Earth’s dwindling resources have driven humanity to mine Mars for a new energy source called “The Red One.” In this closed beta, players will get a taste of two game modes:
- Extraction Mode: A tense, high-stakes PvPvE experience where players must gather resources while fending off enemies (and other players) before making a daring escape.
- Arena Mode: A more classic competitive mode that focuses on skillful gunplay and team-based tactics.
Participants will also compete on the CBT Leaderboard, with the promise of exclusive rewards for top performers. While exact details on these rewards are under wraps, you won’t want to miss out.
To take part, you’ll need a PC with at least a GTX 1060ti graphics card. Ready to dive in? Head over to OVERTAKE’s Discord channel to apply for your spot!
Could This Beta Be Part of the Overtake Game Fest?
Here’s where things get even more interesting. The Red One’s closed beta could be part of the ongoing OVERTAKE Game Fest, a massive event designed to celebrate the platform’s ecosystem and reward its players. While there’s no official confirmation yet, the Game Fest has already rolled out launchpools for Golden Guardians: Survivor, with plans to follow up with Somnis: Rumble Rush and The Red One: Occultation. If the beta is tied to this festival, expect more ways to rack up POP badges, climb leaderboards, and maybe even earn some $OVT tokens.
Game Fest is all about community engagement. With 85 million $OVT tokens up for grabs, this event is designed to pull players into the OVERTAKE platform through a mix of in-game challenges, leaderboards, and rewards. Whether the beta aligns with this fest or not, it’s clear that OVERTAKE is tapping into its web3 strategy to deliver unique gaming experiences.
A Glimpse into The Red One: Occultation
So, what’s this game all about? The Red One: Occultation is a third-person shooter built on Unreal Engine 5, promising jaw-dropping visuals and immersive gameplay. The story centers on humanity’s desperate attempt to secure its future through the extraction of a powerful mineral, “The Red One,” found on Mars. Things take a dark turn when a Martian colony goes silent, leaving mercenaries (aka you) to uncover the chilling truth.
Gameplay blends fast-paced shooting with strategic resource management. Whether you’re tackling hostile AI enemies or other players, every match promises intense, unpredictable encounters.
OVERTAKE: The Platform Behind the Game
OVERTAKE isn’t just a game publisher; it’s a decentralized gaming hub with a network of over 30 million players. The platform aims to bridge the gap between web2 and web3 gaming, offering features like NFT integration, POP badges, and achievement leaderboards.
Game Fest, its flagship event, takes on this mission by creating launchpools tied to specific games. The first of these, Golden Guardians: Survivor, launched in November 2024 and is already making waves with its addictive gameplay. Players earn in-game currency, $GG, which can be converted into Achievement Points (AP) to compete for a share of the $OVT prize pool.
The next two launchpools—Somnis: Rumble Rush and The Red One: Occultation—promise even more rewards and challenges. For The Red One specifically, this could mean tying its in-game economy and assets to the OVERTAKE ecosystem.
Looking Ahead
The Red One is shaping up to be a must-play game for fans of competitive shooters. With its stunning visuals, thrilling game modes, and the potential to tie into OVERTAKE Game Fest, this beta is more than just a sneak peek—it’s a chance to get into something big.
