As if NetEase doesn’t have enough of the console playerbase with Marvel Rivals, the company is about to release first-person free-to-play shooter FragPunk later this month.

The 5v5 hero shooter will even feature cross-progression, so PC players can carry over their data to the console of their choice come April 29.

To make up for the delayed console launch, NetEase and developer Bad Guitar Studio is offering “substantial rewards” for console players. This includes  rewards gained through exclusive time-limited events from the start of Season 1 until April 29. When the console version goes live, players who purchased the Pioneer Bundle on consoles will be eligibile to claim additional gifts after the console launch.

Console Launch Key Features to Expect:

Crossplay and Cross Progression: The console version will feature both crossplay and cross-progression with the PC version, enabling players to enjoy FragPunk together across platforms. More detailed information about these cross-platform features will be shared ahead of launch.

Aim Assist & Optimized Controls: To ensure balance and a smooth gameplay experience, the console version will include enhanced aim assist for controller players. This feature is designed to minimize the disparity between controller and keyboard/mouse input and provides an equally competitive environment for all players.

If you haven’t been keeping tabs about the game, here’s a quick overview of its features.

FragPunk Features:

  • Shard Cards & Power to Bend the Rules: No two rounds of FragPunk are ever the same thanks to over 70 shard cards to play with! These unique cards can amplify jump height, reverse the roles of attackers and defenders, engulf bullets in flames or turn them into chain lightning, and even resurrect players! And since the card selection changes every round, this creates new and unique combinations, with infinite gameplay possibilities!

  • Frantic 5v5 Hero Shooter Action: Each round lasts about 2.5 minutes, so get a move on! This frantic match time means players have to aim true and react fast to win the fight. Choose between a varied cast of heroes with diverse abilities, customize weapon combinations, pick the best cards and get ready for a lightning-fast fight!

  • Endlessly Replayable: With its varied selection of heroes, weapons, shard cards and maps to play in, FragPunk can look forward to discovering several combinations which will result in a fresh new experience for each new round as they develop their personal combat style.

  • Immersive Maps and Vibrant Visuals: FragPunk features complex and varied map designs mixed with visual effects including collages, graffiti and a blend of realistic and stylized textures. Players can feast their eyes on bold colors, sharp shapes and dynamic lines that provide an amazing visual experience while the bullets fly.

Will console gamers embrace another F2P shooter? We’ll know for sure come later this month.
