Extraction shooters Active Matter official news

Active Matter's Pre-Launch Patch Adds a Monolith Room and a Faster Scout Drone Before Its September 15 Release

Active Matter, a PvPvE extraction shooter set in a fractured multiverse, pushed update 0.4.0.55 on September 1, two weeks before its September 15 launch on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series. The patch adds a new Monolith room and furniture for your base, moves item fusion into a dedicated crafting slot instead of the main replication queue, and makes the scout drone more maneuverable. A separate September 1 build made Soldier enemies always drop enriched loot.

Discussion Topics

  1. Active Matter launches September 15 into a crowded extraction field. Does it have a hook to stand out?
  2. Guaranteed enriched loot from Soldiers: smart pacing, or too generous for an extraction economy?
  3. Would you buy a paid extraction shooter at launch, or wait to see if the servers hold?
