Active Matter

Active Matter, the ambitious extraction shooter developed by Team Matter and published by Gaijin Entertainment, arrives in 2026, offering a bold twist on the genre. Moving away from classic post-Soviet settings, the game blends tactical and unforgiving gunplay with a quantum horror atmosphere inspired by SCP lore, where players, trapped in a time loop, must confront dimensional anomalies and other operators in dangerous, unstable zones. On PlayStation 5, it stands out with excellent DualSense integration and solid performance, while Akira Yamaoka's soundtrack helps create a unique and unsettling atmosphere.

Despite a steep learning curve and the unforgiving nature typical of the genre, Active Matter presents itself as a fresh and charismatic experience for hardcore shooter enthusiasts, available starting September 15 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
