Active Matter — a modern hit

Just over a month has passed since the release of the new online action game from publisher Gaijin Network. But in such a short time, the game Active Matter has already been purchased more than half a million times. Meanwhile, the developers keep releasing patches to bring their project to the state that the audience demands of it. Thanking gamers for the interest shown in the new release, Gaijin co-founder Anton Yudintsev addressed the fans of the genre and everyone who has already joined the battles in the anomalous virtual world.

In the shooter, operatives penetrate quantum-unstable zones stuck inside a time loop. The heroes must fight off monsters, collect loot, and escape the map without falling victim to terrifying anomalies. And between battles, you can gather equipment for the next raid and work on setting up your syndicate's base. Gamers have taken a liking to this extraction shooter format — the new release has only positive reviews on Steam and brisk sales almost from the very start. According to official data, the number of users has already exceeded 500,000.

Anton Yudintsev noted that the results achieved are impressive, especially considering that the game is hardcore. The development team is inspired by the stability of sales, which provides a good foundation for the long term and also sets Active Matter apart from other extraction shooters, whose popularity usually grows through «word of mouth». At the end of the letter, the publisher's representative promised to release more updates in the coming years. Among recent updates, it is worth noting the «Lakeside: Firestorm» raid and some gameplay changes, including the «Repair All» feature.
