Supervive thrusts players into a massive, floating world where they team up in squads of four. The primary objective is to be the last team standing as an encroaching storm gradually reduces the playable area.

This dynamic environment sets the stage for exhilarating and strategic gameplay.

Players drop onto an expansive map teeming with monsters and objectives. By eliminating these threats and completing tasks, squads earn levels, rare powers, and equipment.

These upgrades are crucial for outplaying and outlasting competing teams in what becomes an increasingly chaotic and deadly arena.

The game primarily features a squad mode with 10 teams per lobby, totaling 40 players. Each game session lasts around 20 minutes.

Additional modes include duos and 4v4 deathmatch, offering variety in gameplay styles.

The game currently features over 15 hunters during playtests, with more expected at launch. Rather than fixed roles, hunters fall into three archetypes, namely, Fighters, Protectors, and Controllers.

Each hunter comes equipped with a primary fire, four abilities, and a passive, allowing for versatile and dynamic team compositions.
