Pinoy-made Project Xandata to enter Steam Early Access in January 2022

Philippine-made game "Project Xandata" will enter Steam Early Access on January 26, 2022, developer Secret 6 announced after the game's Open Beta.

"Project Xandata” is a 3v3 first-person shooter featuring fast-paced action, ample customization options, diverse maps, multiple modes of play, and Filipino flavor.

You play as a Xandat, a warrior capable of wielding elemental power through the use of ancient technology known as MagiTech.

On launch, "Project Xandata" will feature three classes: the agile and stealthy Agent, who is capable of going invisible and creating clones of themselves; the hard-hitting Juggernaut, whose rocket launchers and uppercuts pack a punch; and the Marksman, a long-range specialist who can blind or push enemies away.

Each class boasts two elements, four neutral skills, and an additional four skills per element.

The four game modes include Skirmish, a race to amass eliminations totaling 5,000 points; Corruption, a race to collect 100 shards; Overcharge, where each team must obtain a battery, bring it to a Lightning Rod, then defend it as it charges; and Free for All, a new deathmatch mode where each player is pitted against everyone else.

In addition, a game mode called Annihilation might be enabled sometime after launch. This competitive mode is a race to win five rounds and tasks both teams with wiping each other out. Each team has three revives per round.

The five maps are Aruum Station, Site Agalon, High Suludlan, Sundown Forge, and Wellspring Biotech.

The following nine weapons will be readily available to all players: Amorsolo (Precision Pistol), Askal (Submachine Gun), Ironbark (Marksman Rifle), Splinter (Burst Rifle), Favorhouse CC (Sniper Rifle), Guillotine-97 (Pump Action Shotgun), Debt Unpaid (Precision Assault Rifle), Birang (Buster Pistol), and Haribon (Rocket Launcher).

Xandats can customize their loadout with 18 possible perk combinations, allowing them to experiment with various playstyles.

Players will be able to earn cosmetics and in-game currency through the Prestige Pass.

"Project Xandata" is the recipient of several awards, including Best in Technology at Level Up KL's SEA Game Awards 2017, and both the People's Choice Award and Best Desktop/Downloadable at Game Connection America 2018.

"Ang Pinaka" voted it the no. 1 Most Famous Pinoy-made PC game.
