Netease Games and Bad Guitar Studio have released a new trailer for FragPunk showing off season one of the game, titled “Wild Dawn”.
On top of that, NetEase and the developer have shared a longer term roadmap, ahead of the March 6th release date on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. Oh and if you were planning to grab the game, there will be free bonuses as a welcome reward, as follows:
- A collection of 20 Blue-and-White Porcelain Weapon Skins: A sleek ceramic collection featuring historical artistry.
- In-Game Currency, Sticker Packs & Weapon Charms: Customize loadouts with cosmetic flair.
Xin Chang, Creative Director and Producer at Bad Guitar Studio, revealed that FragPunk will operate on a seasonal basis. Each season will last for four months and be divided into two chapters, each lasting two months. With the launch of each new chapter, the team will introduce new Lancers, fresh Shard Cards, and, possibly, exciting gameplay modes. Additionally, each new season will feature brand-new maps to enhance the gaming experience.
FragPunk is a new 5v5 hero shooter that’s all about letting players use the power of Shard Cards to break the game’s rules. These unique cards let you change everything and anything about the match, including using powerful attacks and debuffs against your foes. You’ll also have your Lancer hero powers and a wide selection of weapons to call on, ensuring no two FragPunk battles are ever alike.
The publisher explains: “At the core of FragPunk’s gameplay are Shard Cards — modifiers that let players bend match rules on the fly. There will be over 150 cards available at launch, including over 80 brand new ones that have never been revealed before, ranging from tactical buffs to chaotic global effects. To further increase the strategic depth, players can create powerful combos with multiple cards or create synergies by combining cards with their Lancer’s abilities.”
Casual Modes: Zombies, One-Shot Mayhem, and More
Alongside competitive Shard Clash, FragPunk debuts multiple casual modes for laid-back chaos Including Outbreak, a zombie-survival twist where infected players join a growing horde, and other side modes including One Shot (One-Shot-One-Kill), Sniper Death Match (Sniper-Only), Melee Death Match (Knife-Only), etc.
Brand New Lancer, Map and Weapons
FragPunk features 13 Lancers and 7 Shard Clash maps at launch, the new trailer provides hints for the brand new character Chum, a stone-made robot with a fish pal which shapes both his personality and combat style, and the new map Dongtian, an oriental battleground set within a floating mountain palace.
FragPunk is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X on March 6th.
