・ The story of the return of the game

“X8” is a multiplayer virtual reality shooter where many heroes from different shooting game worlds across time and space gather and fight each other using their amazing abilities.

A digital cataclysm for some unknown reason suddenly occurred, and all shooting game worlds inhabited by heroes dissolved (rebooted) into nothingness. In order to reclaim their own world, the heroes will compete for a game engine that is said to have a common origin.

・ About gameplay

Players become unique heroes and fight using special abilities and various weapons activated by virtual reality gestures. Each hero has 3 types of unique special abilities, plus you can use weapons with unique functions called main weapons and special items called hero items (* there are dozens of special abilities in total).

・ About the game mode

Players are divided into two teams at a maximum of 5vs5, divided into an attack team that installs and detonates a stun called a “siphon” and a defense team that blocks it, fighting for 2 minutes x multiple rounds with alternating attack and defense. We plan to introduce multiple game modes through updates.

We are excited to partner with VAL and bring the X8 e-Sports League to more customers. We hope this collaboration will give gamers of all skill levels an amazing opportunity to experience the exciting world of VR esports.

In the future, the X8 will be equipped with functions and systems to support the competitive landscape, such as e-sports-themed skins, content creation software, and innovative efforts to support the growth of professional teams in the field of virtual reality.

“X8” is a title that brings hope to esports in virtual reality. Today, more and more people have headsets, and more and more active virtual reality e-sports players. I look forward to the excitement of VR esports, centered around the X8.

VAL develops and operates “One Arena”, a tournament platform dedicated to virtual reality gaming. The platform aims to revitalize esports by hosting tournaments and competitions, and will release One Arena 2.0, which will integrate new custom integrations with Thirdverse teams to enable league play.
